Common Toilet Problems We Fix
- Constantly running toilets
A toilet that runs nonstop often has worn internal components such as flappers, fill valves, or overflow issues. This problem can waste hundreds of gallons of water each day. We identify the cause and replace faulty parts to restore proper operation and efficiency.
- Leaks at the base or tank
Leaks around the base may indicate a failing wax ring, while tank leaks can come from loose or deteriorated seals and bolts. Left unaddressed, these leaks can damage flooring and subflooring. We locate the source and perform secure, lasting repairs.
- Weak or incomplete flushes
Poor flushing performance can result from clogged jet holes, low water levels, or internal valve issues. We diagnose the issue and restore strong, effective flushing to prevent repeat problems.
- Frequent clogs or backups
Toilets that clog often may have internal obstructions, improper flushing power, or underlying drain issues. We clear blockages and assess the system to prevent ongoing backups and disruptions.
- Cracked or damaged porcelain
Cracks in the toilet bowl or tank can lead to leaks and sudden failure. In these cases, replacement is often the safest solution. We remove damaged units and install new toilets securely and correctly.
- Toilet won’t refill or shut off properly
Problems with refilling or shutting off are usually caused by faulty fill valves, floats, or supply issues. We repair or replace these components to ensure reliable water control and proper tank operation.
