FAQs
What are the most common reasons a toilet keeps running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper, a mis-adjusted fill valve, a faulty float, or mineral buildup on internal parts. These issues prevent the tank from sealing or filling correctly, so water continuously flows into the bowl. Our Dunlap technicians can quickly diagnose which component has failed and replace or adjust it to stop the water loss.
Why is it important to repair a running toilet right away?
Even a slow, silent leak can waste up to 200 gallons of water per day, which shows up on your Dunlap water bill and strains local water resources. Continuous running also puts extra wear on valves and seals, increasing the chance of an emergency overflow. Prompt repairs save money, conserve water, and protect your bathroom from moisture damage.
How do I know if I should upgrade or completely replace my toilet instead of just repairing it?
Consider a replacement when the porcelain is cracked, the bowl or tank has recurring leaks, parts are no longer made, or the toilet was manufactured before 1994 and uses more than 3.5 gallons per flush. Upgrading to a modern 1.28 GPF or dual-flush model can cut water use by up to 60 percent, qualify for local rebates, and improve flushing power and comfort.
What high-efficiency or comfort features can you install during a toilet upgrade?
We offer WaterSense-certified 1.28 GPF toilets, dual-flush models, skirted designs for easier cleaning, ADA-height comfort bowls, soft-close seats, and bidet or washlet attachments. Our Dunlap plumbing team will review your water-saving goals, bathroom layout, and budget to recommend the ideal combination of efficiency, style, and comfort.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off the whole time?
Most standard replacements in Dunlap homes take about two to three hours from shut-off to final cleanup. We only turn off water to the toiletâs supply line, not the entire house, minimizing disruption. If flooring repairs or flange adjustments are needed, weâll let you know up front and schedule accordingly.
Do you provide warranties or guarantees on toilet repairs and replacements in Dunlap?
Yes. All parts we supply are backed by the manufacturerâs warrantyâtypically one year on mechanical components and up to ten years on porcelain. Our labor comes with a one-year workmanship guarantee. If you experience any issues related to the service within that period, we return promptly to make it right at no additional cost.
