Toilet Repair
A running toilet or a wobble at the base fixed before it becomes a bigger repair.
A toilet that runs constantly, rocks slightly at the base, or leaks at the floor is usually traced to worn internal tank parts, a failing wax ring, or loose mounting bolts. Repair visits work through these possibilities in order, starting with the least invasive fix.
Rental properties and older shore homes see a lot of toilet wear from frequent turnover and aging fixtures, and a leak at the base that's ignored can lead to subfloor damage over time. Identifying whether a leak is coming from the tank, the base, or the supply line early on helps prevent that.
Full toilet replacement is a common request when a unit is outdated, cracked, or a homeowner wants a water-saving model. Installation includes checking the existing flange and floor condition, since a damaged flange needs proper repair before a new toilet is set.
Problems we get called about
Running or constantly refilling toilet
Usually caused by a worn flapper, fill valve, or float that no longer seals or shuts off properly.
Wobbly or rocking toilet base
Loose mounting bolts or an uneven floor that lets the toilet shift slightly when sat on.
Leaking at the base
Often a sign of a failing wax ring seal, which allows water to seep out where the toilet meets the floor.
Weak or incomplete flush
Reduced flush performance from mineral buildup, a partially clogged trap, or a worn flush valve.
