Toilet Problems We Fix
Clogged toilets
We clear stubborn blockages with the right tools and check whether the clog is only in the toilet or further down the line. If the problem is bigger, we can help with drain cleaning.
Running toilets
We replace worn flappers, fill valves and float parts so the toilet stops running and stops wasting water.
Leaks at the base or tank
We replace failed wax rings, tighten or replace bolts and fix leaking supply lines and tank connections before water damages the floor.
Toilet replacement
When a toilet is cracked, constantly failing or very old, we install a new one and make sure it is level, sealed and flushing properly.
Repeated Clogs? It May Not Be the Toilet
If one toilet keeps clogging, the toilet itself may be the cause. If several drains are slow, or you hear gurgling when you flush, the problem may be in the line or the plumbing vent instead. A blocked vent stops air from moving through the system and can make drains behave strangely. Learn more about a clogged plumbing vent.

- We test itWe flush, check for leaks and confirm the toilet is stable and working before we leave.
What Affects the Cost of Toilet Repair
We do not guess a price over the phone, because the cost depends on what is wrong. The main factors are:
- Which part failed (flapper, fill valve, wax ring, supply line and so on)
- Whether it is a clog in the toilet or further down the line
- Floor or subfloor damage from a long-term leak
- Repair versus full toilet replacement
- Emergency or after-hours service
You get a clear estimate before work begins, and we do not charge call-out fees.

Toilet Repair FAQs
Why does my toilet keep running?
A running toilet is most often caused by a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve or a float set at the wrong height. These parts wear out over time and let water keep flowing into the bowl. A running toilet can waste a lot of water, so it is worth fixing early.
Why is water leaking around the base of my toilet?
A leak at the base usually means the wax ring seal has failed, the toilet is loose on the floor, or a supply line or tank bolt is leaking. Do not ignore it, because water can damage the flooring and subfloor over time.
What should I do if my toilet is about to overflow?
Lift the tank lid and lift the flapper closed, or turn the shutoff valve behind the toilet clockwise to stop water flowing in. Then call us. Avoid flushing again until the clog is cleared.
My toilet keeps clogging. Is something else wrong?
Frequent clogs can point to a slow drain line, a blocked plumbing vent or a problem further down the line. If other drains are slow or gurgling too, see our guides to a clogged plumbing vent and drain cleaning.
Should I repair or replace my toilet?
Simple fixes such as a flapper, fill valve or wax ring are usually worth repairing. A cracked bowl or tank, constant leaks, repeated clogs or a very old toilet are often better replaced. We give you honest options for both.
How long does a toilet repair take?
Many common toilet repairs are done in one visit. A full replacement or repairs that involve the floor take longer. We give you a realistic timeline when we look at the problem.
