A running toilet can waste a large amount of water every day without anyone noticing, especially in a seasonal home. A leak at the base can soak the subfloor before it shows.

Signs you need a plumber

  • Toilet runs or refills on its own
  • Water on the floor around the base
  • Toilet rocks when you sit on it
  • Weak flush or frequent clogs
  • Water rising toward the rim after flushing

Common causes

Worn flapper or fill valve

The most common reason a toilet runs. Rubber parts harden and stop sealing.

Failed wax ring or loose flange

Water or odor at the base usually means the seal between the toilet and the drain has failed.

Clog in the trap or drain

Too much paper, wipes or a dropped object. Wipes labelled flushable still cause clogs.

Cracked tank or bowl

Hairline cracks can leak slowly. A cracked toilet needs replacing.

What you can safely do first

  • Close the shutoff valve behind the toilet if water is rising
  • Use a flange plunger for a simple clog
  • Don't flush again if the bowl is already full
  • Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank; color in the bowl without flushing means the flapper leaks

How we diagnose it

We check the fill valve, flapper, flush valve, supply line and shutoff, then the seal at the base and the floor around it. If clogs keep happening, we check whether the problem is the toilet or the drain line beyond it.

What affects the price

  • Parts needed and the toilet's make and model
  • Flange condition
  • Your choice of replacement toilet if replacing
  • Haul-away of the old toilet

Frequently asked questions

Should I repair or replace an old toilet?

If the bowl and tank are sound, repair is usually the better value. Replacement makes sense for cracks, chronic clogging or when parts are no longer available.

Can you install a toilet I bought?

Yes. We'll check it's the right rough-in size for your drain before installing it.

Need a plumber you can trust in your home?

Call now. We'll ask a few questions, give you an honest arrival window and send a background-checked, licensed plumber in uniform.
