Common Toilet Repair Issues We Handle

Toilet Constantly Running

A running toilet can be an annoying and costly problem, often caused by worn-out parts like flappers, fill valves, or even internal components. If your toilet constantly runs, it’s likely wasting gallons of water each day. Typically replacing the “guts” of the toilet tank, also known as a toilet rebuild, is enough to get the toilet back up and running.

Toilet Leaking Around Base of Toilet

If you’ve noticed water pooling around the base of your toilet, it’s important to get it checked immediately. This type of leak can indicate issues with the wax ring seal, flange, or other components. Our toilet repair plumbers are experienced in identifying the cause of leaks around the base and providing long-lasting solutions to prevent further damage to your flooring.

Flushing and Drainage Problems

Clogged or slow-draining toilets can be caused by a variety of issues, including obstructions, mineral build-up, or venting problems. Our toilet repair service includes thorough diagnostics and removal of blockages, ensuring smooth, powerful flushing with each use.

Info to Keep in Mind When Purchasing a Toilet

Choosing the right toilet for your home is an important decision that can impact your bathroom’s functionality and efficiency. Here are some key factors to consider when purchasing a new toilet:

Toilet Rough-In Dimensions

The rough-in dimension is the distance between the wall behind the toilet and the center of the toilet’s flange. This measurement is crucial for ensuring that your new toilet will fit properly in your bathroom. Standard rough-in dimensions are 12 inches, but some bathrooms may have 10-inch or 14-inch rough-ins, so it’s important to measure before purchasing a toilet.

Water Efficiency

With growing concerns about water conservation, it’s important to choose a toilet that is water-efficient. Look for toilets with a WaterSense label, which use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less, compared to older toilets that can use up to 3.5 gpf. High-efficiency toilets not only conserve water but also reduce your water bill.

Flushing System

Different toilets use different flushing mechanisms, such as gravity-fed, pressure-assisted, or dual-flush systems. Consider which system will provide the best performance for your needs. Pressure-assisted and dual-flush systems offer stronger flushes and greater water efficiency, making them a popular choice for modern homes.

Comfort and Height

Toilets come in various heights, and choosing the right one can make a big difference in comfort, especially for elderly or disabled individuals. Standard toilets are typically 12-13 inches high, while comfort-height toilets are 14-15 inches high, which can be easier to use for those with mobility issues.

Style and Design

Toilets are available in various styles and designs, from traditional to contemporary. Consider the overall design of your bathroom when choosing a toilet to ensure it complements your space.

FAQ

How do I know if my toilet needs to be repaired or replaced?

Common signs that your toilet needs repair include constant running water, water leaking around the base, weak flushing, or frequent clogs. If your toilet is older, cracked, or requires frequent repairs, it might be more cost-effective to replace it.

How long does it take to install or repair a toilet?

Most toilet repairs, like fixing a running toilet or replacing a wax ring, can be completed in under an hour. A full toilet installation typically takes 1-2 hours, including removing the old toilet and ensuring the new one is properly sealed and functional.

What is the cost of toilet repair or installation?

Toilet repair costs vary based on the complexity of the issue, such as fixing a leak, replacing parts, or addressing base leaks, though we’re usually around $225-275. Toilet installation costs depend on factors like the type of toilet, additional plumbing adjustments, or new components like shut-off valves. Give us a call for over-the-phone estimates!

Can I supply my own toilet for installation?

Yes, we’re happy to install homeowner-supplied toilets! If you haven’t purchased one yet, we can also supply and install high-quality toilets that match your preferences and budget. Our team will ensure proper installation regardless of whether the toilet is provided by you or us.

What are the benefits of hiring a professional plumber for toilet services?

Professional plumbers ensure the job is done right the first time, preventing common issues like leaks, improper seals, or inefficient flushing. They have the expertise to troubleshoot and resolve problems quickly and can provide guidance on selecting the best toilet for your home if needed. Hiring a licensed professional also gives you peace of mind and long-lasting results.

"Mark and Sam installed a water backup sump pump. They did an excellent job with the installation and my new back up pumps are working great! In addition to their exceptional service, Mark and Sam were very professional and answered all my questions. Golden rule plumbing is very reasonably priced for their services! I would highly recommend them to anyone for plumbing issues or requests. Thank you Mark and Sam for all your hard work!"

"Matthew fixed a slow shower drain. This is the 2nd time I've used Golden Rule for a plumbing issue. I tried a number of things before contacting them but couldn't get it done. He came out the same day I called and took care of it. What I realized is that professionals have better tools of the trade and a better understanding of the problem."

"Kyle and Mark were great to deal with. Kyle was super upfront about costs and the scheduling process was really simple. Mark did a fabulous job on the install - new sink, new garbage disposal and new faucet as well as rebuilding the under part of the cabinet. We couldn’t be happier with the result! Great attitudes and reasonable prices. Will definitely be using them again in the future!

"Had an issue with hot water heater, so reached out to our go-to for all plumbing needs…Golden Rule (GR). From our initial call to GR on a Sunday afternoon, with an immediate response from Tim; to our service advisor, Mark, who showed up promptly on Monday morning. They could not have been more friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. This is ALWAYS our experience with GR and their crew. Hot water heater and parts were under warranty, which were replaced in short order, and we were up and running like new. Thanks again for all your assistance!"
