Signs Your Toilet isn’t Working Properly

Toilets give clear clues, and these three are the common ones.

Running Long After the Flush

Water that keeps running after the flush points to something worn. We pinpoint which part, then replace it. Tell us how long it runs.

A Toilet That Rocks or Shifts

A toilet that rocks is worth checking before it turns into something bigger. Tell us when you first noticed it.

Water Leaking at the Base

Water around the base of the toilet should not be ignored. Tell us where you see it and when it appears.

A drain that is slow, gurgling, or backing up belongs to drain cleaning. If repair no longer makes sense, toilet installation seats a new one. Tell us what you notice, and we will point you to the right service.

How We Find and Fix the Problem

The goal is a toilet that works, so we start with the cause.

Hearing What You Have Noticed

We start with what you have seen and heard. Running, rocking, and leaking each point to a different place.

Telling You What We Found and the Price

Before we touch the toilet, you know the cause and the cost.

Pinpointing the Part That Has Worn

Our plumbers work out which part has worn out before replacing anything. That keeps the repair small and aimed.

Replacing the Part and Testing the Flush

We replace the worn part, then test the flush. If the toilet is past repair, we tell you plainly.

What Changes Once Your Toilet Is Repaired

Once the worn part is replaced and the flush is tested, you can expect:

  • A flush that stops cleanly instead of running on
  • A toilet that sits steady on the floor
  • A dry floor around the base
  • A clear answer on which part had worn out
  • One less thing to think about in the bathroom
Results depend on the age of the toilet and which part has worn.

Our technician Solomon Lopez was great. He was very thorough in walking me through what needed to be done and why. The price was on the low end compared to other estimates that I received too!

I called my go to company alternative Aire to help me with an issue with my HVAC and Phil came out and did a great job! Great customer service, he diagnosed the issue quickly and had it fixed within 15 minutes. He even took a look to make sure everything else was looking Okay. Cool air coming into the house now feels great. Thanks for your help Phil!
