Common problems
- Never stops running. Usually a tired flapper, a float set wrong, or a fill valve that never closes.
- Weak flush, or a second flush needed. Too little water in the tank, clogged rim holes, or a partial blockage in the trap.
- Water at the base. A failed wax ring under the bowl or a cracked bowl.
- Rocking. Loose closet bolts or a damaged flange.
- Phantom refills. The tank refills on its own because water is seeping past the flapper.
How we repair
We start inside the tank. Flappers, fill valves and flush valve seals are replaced with parts suited to your model. If water appears at the base, we pull the toilet, check the flange and floor, replace the wax ring or seal, and reset the bowl firmly and level.
When a toilet is worth replacing
Cracks in the bowl or tank cannot be safely fixed. Older toilets can use several times the water per flush of current models, and replacement parts may be hard to find. If repairs keep adding up, a new toilet may be the better value. See toilet installation.
North York toilets
Many older homes still have toilets from the 1980s and 1990s, along with older closet flanges set into cast-iron drains. Rusted flanges are a common cause of rocking and leaks. We can repair or replace the flange without breaking the floor in many cases. For diagnosis help, read our running toilet guide.
Questions we get about this
Why does my toilet keep clogging?
Older low-flow toilets, a partial blockage in the trap or a slow branch drain are typical causes. A closet auger or a look at the drain usually tells us which.
