Toilet Repair & Replacement
From running toilets to stubborn clogs, our plumbers handle all toilet issues quickly and professionally.
Common Toilet Problems
Most toilet issues have straightforward solutions. Here are the problems we see most often:
Running Toilet
Water continuously runs into the bowl, wasting water and increasing bills. Usually caused by a faulty flapper, fill valve, or overflow tube.
Common Fixes
Constant Clogs
Toilet clogs frequently even with normal use. May indicate partial blockage in the trap, drain line issues, or an older low-flow toilet.
Common Fixes
Weak Flushing
Toilet doesn't flush with enough force to clear the bowl properly. Often due to clogged rim jets, low water level, or partial clogs.
Common Fixes
Leaks at Base
Water pooling around the toilet base indicates a failed wax ring seal or loose mounting bolts. Can damage flooring if not addressed.
Common Fixes
Tank Leaks
Water dripping from the tank or collecting at connections. Usually from worn tank bolts, gaskets, or a cracked tank.
Common Fixes
Ghost Flushing
Toilet randomly flushes or refills on its own. Typically caused by a slowly leaking flapper allowing water to seep into the bowl.

When to Repair vs. Replace
Repair Makes Sense When...
- Issue is a simple part replacement (flapper, fill valve, etc.)
- Toilet is less than 15 years old
- No cracks in the porcelain
- Toilet still flushes efficiently
- Single issue, not multiple problems
Consider Replacement When...
- Multiple recurring issues
- Visible cracks in bowl or tank
- Older toilet using 3.5+ gallons per flush
- Constant clogging despite repairs
- Rocking or unstable on the floor
- Outdated style affecting bathroom renovation
Benefits of Upgrading Your Toilet
If your toilet is 15+ years old, upgrading to a modern model can save water, improve performance, and enhance your bathroom.
Water Efficiency
Modern toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, compared to 3.5-7 gallons for older models. This can save 13,000+ gallons annually.
Better Flushing
Improved engineering means better bowl clearing with less water. Pressure-assist and dual-flush options available.
Comfort Features
Elongated bowls, comfort height options, soft-close seats, and better aesthetics are standard in newer models.
Rebates Available
Many water utilities offer rebates for replacing old toilets with WaterSense certified models.
