A running toilet can waste 200 gallons of water per day, that's real money on your water bill. Whether it's a phantom flush, weak flush, constant running, or a stubborn clog, we diagnose the actual problem and fix it without unnecessary upsells.
We repair all toilet brands and handle full replacements when it makes sense. Our plumbers show up on time, protect your floors, and leave your bathroom cleaner than they found it.
What We Handle
Our Process
Identify the Issue
We check the fill valve, flapper, flush mechanism, and look for leaks at the base. Most toilet problems have a specific cause, we find it and explain what's happening in plain English.
Recommend the Right Fix
If a cheap flapper fixes the running, that's what we recommend. If the toilet is 25 years old and needs multiple repairs, we'll discuss whether replacement makes more sense long-term. No pressure either way.
Complete the Work
We make the repair or install your new toilet, test multiple flushes, check for leaks, and verify everything works correctly. We haul away your old toilet if you're replacing it.
Frequently Asked Questions
The most common cause is a worn flapper that doesn't seal properly, letting water leak from the tank into the bowl. The fill valve then keeps running to maintain the water level. Other causes include a faulty fill valve, improper float adjustment, or a cracked overflow tube. Most running toilet repairs are quick fixes.
Consider replacement if: the toilet is cracked (tank or bowl), you're making frequent repairs, it's an older model using 3+ gallons per flush, or the base is leaking due to porcelain damage. Modern toilets use 1.28 gallons or less per flush, the water savings can pay for the upgrade over time.
Yes. Weak or incomplete flushes usually mean a clogged rim jet, blocked trapway, low tank water level, or worn flush valve. We diagnose which issue is causing the problem and fix it. If the toilet design itself is the issue (some older low-flow models), we'll let you know.
Water at the base usually means the wax ring seal has failed. This seal sits between the toilet and the drain flange. When it fails, water (and sewer gas) can escape. We'll need to remove the toilet, replace the wax ring, and reset the toilet. It's a straightforward fix but shouldn't be ignored.
