Toilet Repair & Replacement
Fix the Problem. Know When to Replace.
A running toilet may need a flapper or fill valve. Water around the base could mean a failed seal or flange. Repeated clogs may point to a drain problem—not the toilet itself.
We inspect the problem, explain whether repair or replacement makes sense, and quote the work before starting.
If multiple fixtures are backing up, drain cleaning or main sewer line cleaning may be the right first step.
Start With the Symptoms
What Is Your Toilet Doing?
Running, leaking, clogging, or rocking? These common warning signs can help us identify the problem and recommend the right toilet repair.
Toilet Keeps Running
The tank refills on its own, water trickles into the bowl or you have to jiggle the handle. Worn flappers and fill valves are common causes.
Running Toilet RepairsWater Around the Base
Water on the floor can involve the wax seal, a loose toilet, a tank connection or the supply. We identify the leak before choosing a repair.
Find the LeakWeak Flush or Frequent Clogs
Poor flushing can come from fixture parts or an obstruction. A recurring blockage may need a drain diagnosis.
Compare the SymptomsLoose or Wobbly Toilet
A toilet that rocks can compromise its seal or indicate loose mounting hardware or a damaged closet flange.
Toilet Reset & FlangeDripping Shutoff or Supply
A leaking stop valve or supply connection behind the toilet deserves attention before water damages the floor.
Supply RepairsDamaged or Outdated Toilet
Cracked porcelain, repeated component failures or a planned bathroom upgrade may make a new fixture more practical.

From Running Toilets to Leaking Seals
From running toilets and leaking seals to worn parts and stubborn clogs, we diagnose the problem and recommend the right repair.
Fill Valves & Flappers
Troubleshoot constant running, ghost flushing, slow tank refills and water that will not shut off correctly.
Flush Valve & Tank Parts
Inspect trip levers, handles, bolts, tank-to-bowl gaskets and flush mechanisms for leaks or poor operation.
Wax Seals & Toilet Resets
Remove and reset a toilet when appropriate, replace the seal and check for signs of movement or flange trouble.
Toilet Flange & Mounting
Evaluate loose fasteners, damaged or unstable mounting conditions and flange repair needs.
Shutoff Valves & Supply Lines
Diagnose and repair or replace accessible toilet stop valves and leaking supply connections.
Clogged Toilets & Toilet Augering
Clear suitable fixture-trap obstructions, or determine if the clog is likely in the branch or main drain.

When Does a New Toilet Make More Sense?
Some toilet problems need a simple part replacement. Cracked porcelain may require a new toilet, while repeated clogs can point to a drain issue. We help you choose the right fix.
Repair the Existing Toilet
If the porcelain is sound and the trouble is limited to a replaceable valve, seal or connection, a focused repair may solve the problem.
What We RepairConsider Toilet Replacement
Cracked porcelain, repeated repairs, or an older toilet you’re ready to upgrade can make replacement worth considering.
Installation OptionsCheck the Drain First
If a toilet repeatedly clogs or wastewater backs up in other fixtures, replacing the toilet alone may not resolve a branch or main sewer blockage.
Toilet or Sewer?Toilet Installation
New Toilet Installation, Done With Care
A proper toilet installation starts with checking the fit, flange, and water connections. We then install the fixture securely and test flushing, filling, and leaks.
Confirm Fixture Compatibility
Review replacement options and verify a customer-supplied toilet suits the rough-in, available space and existing plumbing.
Check Flange & Sealing Surface
When removing an old toilet, assess the exposed flange and connection before setting the new fixture.
Set & Secure the Toilet
Use appropriate seal and mounting hardware, connect the supply and secure the fixture without over-tightening the porcelain.
Test the Completed Installation
Check filling, flushing and accessible connections, and explain any issues uncovered during installation.
We’ll explain whether old-toilet removal and disposal, shutoff replacement, or flange repairs are included in your quote before work begins.
Find the Right Cause
When the Problem Is Bigger Than the Toilet
A clogged toilet may be a fixture issue, a branch drain blockage, or a main sewer problem. We check what’s affected before recommending the right solution.
Only One Toilet Is Clogged
An obstruction may be in the fixture trap or nearby branch. Fixture drain cleaning may be the right starting point.
The Shower or Another Toilet Backs Up
Water rising in another fixture when the toilet flushes may point to a shared branch or main sewer restriction.
The Same Toilet Keeps Stopping Up
Repeated clogs may call for proper cleaning or a sewer camera inspection where access allows, rather than simply replacing the fixture.
If the toilet is overflowing, stop flushing and close its water supply valve if it is safe to operate. If wastewater is backing up elsewhere, stop using affected fixtures and call for service.

Toilet Repair & Installation FAQs
Questions About Toilet Repair & Installation
Can you repair a toilet that keeps running?
Yes. We check the flapper, fill valve, flush valve and other tank components and quote the repair that addresses the actual cause.
Why is water leaking around the bottom of my toilet?
A failed wax seal, movement at the flange, a supply or tank leak, or another plumbing condition could be responsible. We identify the source before recommending a toilet reset or repair.
Should I repair my toilet or replace it?
A toilet in good condition with one failed component is often a reasonable repair candidate. Cracks in the porcelain, frequent part failures or a planned upgrade may justify replacement. We can review the options.
Can DrainBusters install a toilet I bought myself?
In many cases, yes. A customer-supplied toilet must be compatible with the existing rough-in, supply connection and bathroom space. We can evaluate the setup first.
What if my toilet keeps clogging?
A repeated clog may be in the fixture, its branch or the main sewer. Drain cleaning or camera inspection can help when the symptoms point beyond the toilet.
Do you repair leaking toilet shutoff valves and supply lines?
Yes. We can evaluate and repair or replace accessible leaking toilet shutoff valves and water-supply connections.
How much does a toilet repair service visit cost?
Our standard assessment fee is $49, waived when you approve a quoted service option. The repair or installation price depends on the parts, access, plumbing condition and scope of work.
