What toilet repair and installation covers

A running toilet, a weak or inconsistent flush, a wobble at the base, or a full replacement all fall under this service. Our technicians start by identifying the actual cause rather than replacing parts at random. A running toilet, for example, could trace back to a worn flapper, a misadjusted fill valve, or a cracked overflow tube, and each has a different fix.

For new installations, we evaluate the flange condition and supply line before setting the new fixture, since a toilet installed on a damaged flange or worn wax ring will develop leaks regardless of how new the fixture itself is. This attention to the connection points is what separates a lasting installation from one that needs revisiting within months.

What happens if it's put off

A running toilet wastes a meaningful amount of water continuously, and that cost adds up steadily on your water bill the longer it's left unaddressed. A wobble at the base often signals a failing wax ring seal, and continued use can allow water to seep beneath the toilet, potentially causing subfloor damage that's far more costly than the original repair would have been. Even a weak flush, easy to simply live with, sometimes points to a partial blockage that can worsen into a full clog over time.

How the work gets done

01

Diagnose the specific issue

The technician identifies whether the problem is the fill valve, flapper, flange, or another component.

02

Explain findings and repair scope

You hear what's actually wrong and what the fix involves before any work proceeds.

03

Complete the repair or installation

Internal components are repaired, or a new toilet is properly set on a sound flange and fresh wax ring.

04

Test under real use

The toilet is tested through multiple flush cycles to confirm proper function before the technician leaves.

05

Check for leaks at the base and supply line

Both connection points are checked for any sign of leaking before the job is considered complete.

What the experience looks like

Most toilet repairs are completed within an hour, and a straightforward replacement installation is typically finished within two hours. You'll know the scope and pricing before work begins, and the technician will confirm proper function and check for leaks before wrapping up. Every repair and installation is backed by a written workmanship guarantee.

Common questions about toilet repair and installation

Why does my toilet run intermittently even after I jiggle the handle?
This usually points to a worn flapper that isn't sealing consistently, or a fill valve that's slightly misadjusted. Our technicians identify the specific component causing the issue rather than a temporary workaround.
Is a wobbling toilet always a wax ring problem?
Often, yes, though it can also indicate loose mounting bolts or, in some cases, a damaged flange. A technician can determine the specific cause and address it properly rather than just tightening the visible bolts.
How long does a toilet installation typically take?
A standard replacement installation, including flange and wax ring inspection, typically takes about two hours depending on access and whether the flange needs any repair.
Can you repair an older toilet or is replacement usually better?
Many older toilets can be repaired effectively, particularly if the porcelain itself is intact. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your specific unit.
What causes a weak flush?
This can result from a partial clog, a miscalibrated fill valve not delivering enough water to the bowl, or in older models, a design limitation. Diagnosis determines which applies to your situation.
Do you install water-efficient or low-flow toilets?
Yes, we can install water-efficient models if that's your preference, and can discuss the tradeoffs of different flush mechanisms during your consultation.
Is it normal for a new toilet installation to need any leak follow-up?
A properly installed toilet should not leak. Our technicians check the base and supply line connection before considering the job complete, and the installation is backed by our written workmanship guarantee.
Can a running toilet actually increase my water bill significantly?
Yes, a continuously running toilet can waste a substantial amount of water over the course of a month, making it one of the more cost-effective repairs to address promptly.
