Common Toilet Problems We Solve

Toilets can develop a variety of issues over time. Our skilled plumbers are adept at diagnosing and repairing all common problems, including:

• Running Toilets: If your toilet continues to run long after flushing, or randomly starts running, it's likely wasting significant amounts of water. Common culprits include faulty flappers, fill valves, or flush valves. We can identify the exact cause and replace the worn or broken components.
• Clogged Toilets: Stubborn clogs that can't be cleared with a plunger require professional attention. We use specialized tools like augers and, if necessary, Hydro Jetting for more severe blockages further down the drain line, ensuring your toilet flushes freely again.
• Leaking Toilets: Leaks can occur at the tank, around the base, or at the supply line connection. Even a small leak can cause water damage, mold growth, and inflate your water bill. We pinpoint the source of the leak and make the necessary repairs, such as replacing worn seals, gaskets, or the wax ring at the base.
• Weak or Incomplete Flush: A toilet that doesn't fully clear the bowl might have issues with the flushing mechanism, low water levels in the tank, or partial clogs in the trap or drain line. We diagnose the issue and restore powerful, efficient flushing.
• Strange Noises: Gurgling, hissing, or whistling sounds coming from your toilet can indicate problems with the fill valve, drain line venting, or even issues within your broader Plumbing Services system. We investigate the source of the noise and provide a solution.
• Loose or Wobbling Toilets: A toilet that isn't securely fastened to the floor can indicate issues with the flange, loose bolts, or subfloor damage. This can lead to leaks and further damage. We secure the toilet and address any underlying problems.
• Cracked Porcelain: Cracks in the tank or bowl require immediate attention as they can lead to significant leaks and are typically beyond repair. In such cases, Toilet Installation & Replacement is often the necessary solution.

Signs Your Toilet Needs Professional Repair

Ignoring minor toilet issues can lead to more significant, costly problems down the line. Be on the lookout for these warning signs that indicate it's time to call a professional plumber:

• You notice water pooling around the base of the toilet or near the supply line.
• The toilet runs constantly, even when not in use.
• You have to hold down the handle or flush multiple times to clear the bowl.
• The toilet feels unstable or wobbles when you sit on it.
• You hear unusual sounds (like gurgling from the drain) when the toilet is not flushing.
• There's a persistent, unpleasant odor coming from the toilet drain.
• You see visible cracks or chips in the porcelain of the tank or bowl.
• Your water bill has unexpectedly increased.

Our Comprehensive Toilet Repair Services

Our approach to toilet repair is thorough and effective. When you schedule service with us, here's what our expert plumbers will do:

• Detailed Diagnosis: We start by carefully inspecting your toilet and its components, flushing the unit, and checking for leaks or inconsistencies to accurately identify the problem.
• Fixing Running Toilets: We replace worn or damaged flappers, adjust or replace faulty fill valves, and ensure all internal components are functioning correctly to stop water waste.
• Clearing Clogs: For stubborn blockages, we utilize professional-grade augers that can navigate the toilet trap and drain line. If the clog is deeper or related to the main sewer line, we can perform a Sewer Camera Inspection to assess the situation and recommend further steps like Drain Cleaning or Sewer Line Repair + Replacement.
• Repairing Leaks: We replace deteriorated wax rings, tighten or replace loose supply lines, repair or replace faulty flush valves and gaskets within the tank, and reseal connections to eliminate leaks at the source.
• Repairing or Replacing Flushing Mechanisms: We service and replace all parts of the flushing system, including handles, chains, flappers, and fill valves, to ensure a smooth and complete flush every time.
• Sealing Toilet Base: If the toilet is loose or the wax ring needs replacement, we remove the toilet, clean the flange, install a new wax ring, and carefully reseat and secure the toilet to the floor.
• Replacing Internal Tank Components: Over time, the plastic and rubber components inside the tank can wear out. We replace faulty fill valves, flush valves, and other parts to restore proper tank operation.

Professional Toilet Installation & Replacement

Sometimes, repair isn't the most cost-effective or long-term solution. If your toilet is old, constantly breaking down, inefficient, or cracked, replacing it with a new unit is often the best course of action.

When to Consider Replacement:

• Your toilet was installed decades ago and is inefficient.
• You face frequent repairs for different issues.
• The porcelain has cracks or significant damage.
• You want to upgrade to a more water-efficient model to save money on your utility bills.
• You are remodeling your bathroom and want a new style or feature, such as a comfort-height toilet or a dual-flush model.

Benefits of Upgrading:

Modern toilets offer numerous benefits, including significant water savings with low-flow and dual-flush options, improved flushing power, enhanced comfort features, and a refreshed bathroom aesthetic.

Our Installation Process:

Our expert plumbers handle the entire Toilet Installation process seamlessly. This includes:

• Carefully shutting off the water supply and disconnecting the old toilet.
• Removing the old toilet and disposing of it properly.
• Inspecting the flange and surrounding area for any damage.
• Preparing the area and properly seating a new wax ring or other seal.
• Carefully setting the new toilet onto the flange and securing it firmly.
• Connecting the water supply line and ensuring all connections are tight and leak-free.
• Testing the toilet multiple times to ensure proper flushing and fill cycles.
• Cleaning up the work area completely, leaving your new toilet ready for immediate use.

We can also assist you in selecting a new toilet that meets your needs regarding water efficiency, style, and features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q. How much does toilet repair or installation cost?

A. The cost varies depending on the nature of the problem or the complexity of the installation. We provide fair, transparent pricing and offer detailed estimates after diagnosing the issue or assessing the installation requirements. We discuss all options with you before starting any work.

Q. How long does a typical toilet repair or installation take?

A. Most standard toilet repairs, like fixing a running toilet or clearing a simple clog, can be completed within an hour or two. A full toilet installation typically takes 2-3 hours, assuming no complex issues like subfloor damage are present.

Q. What's the difference between fixing and replacing a toilet?

A. Repairing addresses specific issues with the existing toilet components (like a faulty flapper or fill valve). Replacing involves removing the old toilet and installing a completely new fixture. Replacement is recommended for older, inefficient toilets, those with cracks, or units requiring frequent, costly repairs.

Q. Can I fix a constantly running toilet myself?

A. Simple fixes like adjusting the chain length on the flapper can sometimes resolve a running toilet. However, often the issue is a worn-out or faulty internal component that requires proper replacement. Attempting complex repairs without experience can lead to leaks or further damage. A professional can quickly diagnose the exact cause and ensure a lasting repair.

Q. Do you offer emergency toilet repair services?

A. Yes, toilet problems can be emergencies. We offer fast response for urgent toilet issues to prevent water damage and restore function as quickly as possible.

Q. What causes a toilet to clog repeatedly?

A. Frequent clogs can be caused by flushing non-flushable items, issues with the toilet's trap design, or blockages further down the drain or Sewer Line Repair + Replacement. A plumber can identify the root cause, potentially using a Sewer Camera Inspection, to recommend the correct solution.

Q. Are your plumbers licensed and insured?

A. Absolutely. All our plumbers are fully licensed and insured, ensuring you receive professional, reliable service that complies with all local codes and regulations.

Q. Do you offer options for water-saving toilets?
