Running, Rocking, or Leaking Toilets
A toilet that runs constantly is almost always a worn flapper or fill valve, both inexpensive parts, but left unfixed it can waste real money on the water bill month after month.
A toilet that rocks slightly when you sit on it usually means the wax ring underneath has failed or the flange has cracked, which lets water seep out at the base and, over time, damage the subfloor underneath.
Repair or Full Replacement
Most running or leaking toilets are a same-visit repair, a new flapper, fill valve, or wax ring. A cracked tank or bowl, or a toilet that's simply decades old and inefficient, is where full replacement makes more sense, especially since newer models use a fraction of the water per flush.
Older vs. Newer Toilets
A toilet installed before the mid-1990s often uses 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush, compared to 1.28 gallons for a modern WaterSense-certified model. That difference adds up fast on a water bill, which is part of why we usually recommend replacement over repair once a toilet is past 20 years old regardless of its current condition.
Newer models also use a different flush mechanism that clogs less often with normal household waste, which is worth factoring in beyond the water savings alone.
What We Check Beyond the Obvious
We check the wax ring and flange condition on any older toilet we service, even if the original complaint was just a running fill valve, since a failing ring underneath isn't always obvious until the toilet is lifted.
We also check the shutoff valve's condition during any toilet visit, since a seized or corroded shutoff becomes its own emergency the day someone actually needs to use it.
A Straightforward Visit
Most toilet repairs are diagnosed within minutes of a technician looking at the actual fixture, since the common failure points, flapper, fill valve, wax ring, are quick to check by hand.
We carry standard replacement parts and a couple of common toilet models on the truck, which is why most repair and even some installation calls finish in a single visit.
Fixtures We Carry and Install
We stock standard two-piece toilets from major manufacturers for same-day installation, along with the comfort-height and low-flow models that have become the norm in newer Westminster construction.
If you have a specific model or brand preference, we're glad to special-order it, though that typically adds a day or two to the installation timeline.

Toilet Repair & Installation FAQ
Why is my water bill higher than usual?
A running toilet is one of the most common causes of an unexplained jump in a water bill, and it's often silent enough that homeowners don't notice until the flapper has been leaking for weeks.
Can I replace just the wax ring myself?
It's a doable DIY job for some homeowners, but a toilet that's already rocked loose from a failed ring can crack the flange on removal, which turns a simple part swap into a bigger repair. We're glad to quote it either way.
How long does a toilet installation take?
A standard swap of an existing toilet for a new one, same footprint, typically takes 45 minutes to an hour once the new fixture is on-site.
