Toilet Repair & Clogged Toilets in the Triangle, NC

The most common cause is a worn flapper that no longer seals the flush valve, so water leaks from the tank into the bowl and the fill valve keeps refilling. A misadjusted float or a faulty fill valve can also cause it. We replace the failing part and adjust the tank for a proper flush.

Mineral buildup in the rim jets — the small holes under the rim — restricts the water flow that creates the flush. A worn flapper or a partially clogged trap can also weaken it. We clean the jets and replace worn parts to restore a strong flush.

Water at the base usually means the wax seal between the toilet and the floor flange has failed, or the toilet is loose and rocking. Left alone it can rot the subfloor. We reset the toilet with a new seal and secure it properly.

A plunger is fine for an occasional clog. If the toilet clogs repeatedly, or if plunging doesn't clear it, there may be a deeper blockage or an issue with the trap or drain line. We clear it and inspect to find the cause.
