Toilet Repairs FAQs
A constantly running toilet is almost always caused by a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve, or the float being set too high. These are relatively simple repairs that can save significant water.
Water at the base typically means the wax ring seal between the toilet and the floor flange has failed. This needs to be replaced promptly to prevent subfloor damage.
Frequent clogging can indicate a partial blockage deeper in the drain, an issue with the toilet's flush mechanism, or simply a low-flow toilet struggling with certain waste. We can diagnose the cause.
If the porcelain is cracked, the toilet is very old and repeatedly needing repair, or the unit is an early low-flush model with poor performance, replacement is usually the better investment.
In most cases, yes. Standard toilet replacements are straightforward same-visit jobs when the right unit is available.
