Diagnosing Running Toilets, Weak Flushes, and Leaks
A running toilet wastes hundreds of gallons of water each week and spikes your utility bill. Common culprits include deteriorated flappers, misaligned flush valves, mineral-crusted fill valves, and corroded overflow tubes. We carry OEM replacement parts for Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Mansfield toilets.
If water pools around the porcelain base on your bathroom floor, the wax ring seal has degraded or the toilet closet flange is cracked. We lift the toilet, inspect the subfloor, install a reinforced wax-free or heavy wax seal, and secure the bowl with solid brass closet bolts.
Clearing Severe Toilet Clogs & Object Obstructions
When a home plunger fails to clear a stubborn toilet backup, the obstruction is either lodged in the internal porcelain trapway or trapped in the main branch line. We deploy specialized closet augers with vinyl guards that clear the obstruction without scratching or cracking your porcelain bowl.
Water-Saving High-Efficiency Toilet Installations
Looking to upgrade an outdated 3.5-gallon water-guzzler? We install high-performance 1.28-gallon EPA WaterSense certified toilets with dual-flush options that deliver powerful siphon jet flushes while lowering your monthly water bill.

Why does my toilet spontaneously turn on and run for a few seconds?
This 'phantom flushing' occurs when water slowly leaks through a worn flapper into the bowl, causing the fill valve to cycle on to replenish the tank.
Can water leaking at the base of a toilet damage the subfloor?
Yes. Water leaking beneath the base rots wood subflooring and destabilizes the toilet flange, eventually requiring structural floor repairs if ignored.
Do you provide Written Estimates before repairing or replacing toilets?
Always. We evaluate the repair or replacement options and present an upfront Written Estimate before beginning any work.
