“The toilet keeps turning on and off in the middle of the night.”

It's one of the problems that drives homeowners the most crazy, and one of the easiest to fix.

A running toilet usually means a worn flapper or fill valve letting water leak into the bowl. A toilet that rocks or leaks at the base often needs a new wax ring or flange. Bubbling in the bowl can mean a clog is building further down the line.

Our trucks carry genuine replacement parts, so most toilet repairs are finished the same visit. If a new toilet makes more sense, we'll explain why and install it.

Every job is done to code and to the manufacturer's specifications by licensed, trained plumbers, backed by a 30-day labor warranty plus the manufacturer's parts warranty.

Repair or replace

New parts, or a new toilet?

Most toilets just need a part. Sometimes a new toilet is the better buy, and we'll tell you which.

Drives them insane is when the toilet's running. They'll hear that thing turning on and off in the middle of the night. It's a very easy fix.

Toilet repair FAQs

Questions about toilet repair

Running, sweating, clogging and when to replace.

How much does a toilet repair cost? +
Why does my toilet keep running? +

Usually a worn flapper lets water leak from the tank into the bowl, so the fill valve keeps topping it up. Sometimes the fill valve itself or the float is set wrong. Both are quick fixes.

Why does my toilet keep clogging? +

Too much paper, “flushable” wipes, an older low-flow toilet or a partial clog further down the drain. If the toilet and a sink clog at the same time, the problem is likely in the main line, and you may need drain cleaning.

Why is my toilet tank sweating? +

Cold water in the tank meets warm, humid air and condensation forms on the outside, like a cold glass. Better ventilation helps. If water is pooling at the base, check it isn't actually a leak.

Is a gurgling toilet a problem? +

It can be. Gurgling or bubbling often means air is being pushed past a partial clog in the drain or vent. Our Wilmington plumbing manager puts it simply: bubbling in the toilet usually means it's getting ready to clog.

What warranty comes with a toilet repair? +

Every repair is done to code and to the manufacturer's specifications by licensed, trained plumbers. It's backed by a 30-day labor warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on any new parts.
