Toilet Repair & Replacement
A toilet that runs, clogs repeatedly, or leaks at the base is worth dealing with sooner rather than later. We repair the common failures and, where a repair no longer makes sense, install a replacement.
- Responsive local service
- Clear, upfront quotes
- Reliable workmanship
The Usual Suspects
Most toilet complaints come down to a handful of areas: the parts inside the tank that control filling and flushing, the seal where the toilet meets the floor, the supply connection, or a restriction in the drain below.
A toilet that keeps running is quietly using water the whole time. A toilet that is loose or leaking at the base is a different concern, because water escaping there reaches the floor rather than the drain.
Repair Or Replace
Many toilets are worth repairing, the failing parts are replaceable and the fixture itself is sound. Replacement comes into the conversation when the fixture is cracked, when repairs are stacking up, or when you are updating the bathroom anyway.
If a toilet clogs again soon after being cleared, the drain line serving it may be the real issue rather than the fixture, and clearing the drain is the part that needs attention.
Signs A Toilet Needs Work
- The toilet keeps running after the flush finishes
- You have to hold or repeat the flush for it to work properly
- Water or dampness appears around the base
- The toilet rocks or feels loose on the floor
- Repeated clogs in the same toilet
When To Bring In A Plumber
- The toilet runs constantly and adjusting the tank parts has not stopped it
- There is water on the floor around the fixture
- The fixture is cracked or moves when used
- The same toilet clogs repeatedly after being cleared

Toilet Repair FAQ
+What causes a toilet to keep running?
It usually comes back to the parts inside the tank that control filling and sealing. Several components can be involved, so it is worth having it looked at rather than assuming a single cause.
+Is a leaking toilet base serious?
Water at the base means water is reaching the floor instead of the drain, so it is worth addressing promptly. The seal, the connection, or the fixture itself may be involved.
+Should a toilet be repaired or replaced?
Many toilets are worth repairing when the fixture is sound and the failing parts are replaceable. Replacement is usually discussed when the fixture is cracked, repairs keep recurring, or the bathroom is being updated.
+Why does my toilet clog again after being cleared?
A toilet that clogs repeatedly can point to the drain line serving it rather than the fixture. In that case, clearing the drain is the part that needs attention.
