Common Toilet Problems We Fix
Don't ignore these warning signs. Early intervention can prevent costly water damage and major repairs.
Constantly running
Medium PrioritySymptoms:
You can hear it refilling every 20 minutes even when nobody has flushed. The flapper is leaking, the fill valve isn't shutting off, or the flush lever is stuck.
Our Solution:
Flapper and/or fill valve swap — usually 30-45 minutes and under $200 all-in.
Weak or phantom flush
Low–Medium PrioritySymptoms:
You push the lever and the bowl half-empties. The siphon jets are clogged with mineral deposits, or the fill tube is pointed wrong.
Our Solution:
Descale the jets, adjust the fill tube, and check the flapper chain length.
Clogged bowl
High PrioritySymptoms:
Water rises when you flush instead of dropping. If a plunger doesn't clear it in two attempts, don't keep plunging — call us.
Our Solution:
Closet-auger from the bowl usually does it. If the clog is past the toilet, we cable the branch.
Leak around the base
High PrioritySymptoms:
Water or a damp spot appears on the floor around the toilet after every flush. The wax ring has failed or the flange is cracked.
Our Solution:
Pull the toilet, assess the flange, replace the wax ring, set it back level. 90 minutes in most cases.
Our Toilet Services
New toilet installation
New-fixture install with a proper wax ring (or waxless seal), fresh supply line, and level setting. If the floor flange is rotted or broken, we rebuild it — skipping that step causes a leak within a year.
What's Included:
- New toilet set to a proper level
- Wax ring or waxless seal — whichever suits the floor
- New braided stainless supply line (no old plastic)
- Floor flange rebuild if the existing one is bad
- Old toilet hauled away
Timeframe:
1–2 hours
Toilet repair
A running toilet is an expensive drip. A rocking toilet is a wax-ring leak waiting to stain a ceiling downstairs. Both usually fix in under an hour.
What's Included:
- Fill valve, flapper, and flush-lever replacement
- Tank-to-bowl gasket when it starts sweating
- Angle-stop shutoff valve replacement
- Wax ring reset if the toilet rocks
- Auger-clear internal clogs
Timeframe:
30–90 minutes
Full toilet replacement
Old toilet out, new one in. We check the floor flange, flatness, and any subfloor issues before setting the new unit — and tell you straight if repair is the better call.
What's Included:
- Old toilet removal and haul-away
- Subfloor and flange condition check
- Help choosing the right height, bowl shape, and efficiency
- Level set with proper seal
- Water-efficient models standard now
Timeframe:
2–3 hours
Overflow and urgent clogs
When water is going where water shouldn't, we drop everything. Same-day availability during business hours, after-hours availability for active overflows.
What's Included:
- Closet-auger to clear the bowl
- Snake the branch if it's upstream of the bowl
- Camera if the clog keeps coming back
- Mop-up and quick drying recommendations
- Honest assessment of whether you need a new toilet
Timeframe:
Same day
Toilet Options We Install
Two-piece standard
Separate tank bolted to the bowl. Easiest to service, most affordable, the default on 90% of replacements we do in Pittsburgh homes.
Best For: Most homes, especially in older Pittsburgh housing where existing rough-in measurements vary.
One-piece
Tank and bowl fused as one. Cleaner lines, no tank-to-bowl gasket to leak, but heavier to set and harder to replace individual internals.
Best For: Bathroom remodels where looks matter and the rough-in is known good.
Comfort height (ADA)
17-19" bowl height instead of the standard 15". Easier to sit and stand — almost every modern toilet offers this option.
Best For: Aging-in-place homes, tall users, mobility concerns.
Dual flush
Two buttons: one for liquid (0.8 GPF), one for solid (1.6 GPF). Saves real water over the life of the fixture.
Best For: Water-conscious households, especially in homes already on PWSA metered water.
