Running, rocking, or leaking? Fixed right the first time.
A running toilet quietly wastes up to 200 gallons a day — you're paying for it on every water bill. We fix what's actually broken, and when a replacement makes more sense, we'll show you the math.
Toilet problems we fix every week.
- • Constantly running or "phantom flushing" (flapper, fill valve, flush valve seat)
- • Weak or incomplete flush (rim jets clogged with hard-water scale, low tank level)
- • Water at the base (wax ring failure, cracked flange, loose bolts)
- • Rocking toilet (broken or corroded flange — a leak waiting to happen)
- • Tank leaks and condensation (tank-to-bowl gasket, supply line, shut-off valve)
- • Frequent clogs (often the toilet's trapway — or a drain line problem downstream)
- • Cracked tanks and bowls (replacement — a cracked bowl can't be safely patched)
Repair vs. replace — the honest call.
Repair if…
- • The issue is a flapper, fill valve, wax ring, or supply line.
- • The porcelain is sound — no cracks in tank or bowl.
- • It flushes well when the parts work.
Replace if…
- • The tank or bowl is cracked.
- • It's a pre-1994 high-volume unit — a modern toilet pays for itself in water savings.
- • It clogs constantly even after the line checks clean.
- • You're repairing it for the second or third time.
A toilet that clogs weekly — especially with gurgling in nearby drains — usually points at a partial blockage or root intrusion in the drain line, not the fixture. We'll check before selling you a toilet you don't need. See drain & sewer service.
What's included in a toilet install.
- • New toilet of your choice — we'll recommend models that handle our hard water well
- • New wax ring, bolts, and supply line — never reused parts
- • Flange inspection and repair if it's cracked or corroded
- • New shut-off valve if yours won't fully close
- • Leak test, level check, and caulked base
- • Haul-away of the old toilet

Flappers, fill valves, wax rings, supply lines, shut-off valves — we stock the parts that fix 90% of toilet problems. Most repairs are done the same visit.
We Check the Line First
A toilet that clogs constantly might have a main line problem, not a fixture problem. We won't sell you a replacement until we've ruled that out.

Questions Homeowners Ask
Why does my toilet keep running?
A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a bad flapper, a worn-out fill valve, or a float that needs adjustment. We can replace these parts quickly to stop the water waste — most are same-visit fixes.
What does it mean if water is pooling around the base of my toilet?
That typically indicates a failed wax ring or a cracked flange. Address it quickly before the leak damages your subfloor — we pull the toilet, inspect the flange, and set a new wax ring.
Do I need to replace my whole toilet or just the parts?
If the porcelain bowl and tank aren't cracked, replacing the internal parts is usually enough. We only recommend a full replacement if you want an upgrade or the toilet itself is damaged.
My toilet bubbles and gurgles when the shower runs. Is that normal?
No, that's a sign of a main line clog or a venting issue. The air is trying to escape through the toilet trap. We'll inspect the drain lines before selling you a new toilet.
Do you install customer-supplied toilets?
Yes. If you've purchased a toilet from a big box store, we can professionally install it, set a new wax ring, and haul the old one away.
How much water does a running toilet waste?
A running toilet can waste 200 gallons a day or more — quietly, without any visible sign. On a typical New Braunfels water bill, that adds up to real money fast. A simple flapper fix pays for itself in days.
