FAQs
What are the most common reasons a toilet keeps running?
A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a worn-out flapper that no longer seals properly, a damaged fill valve, an improperly adjusted float, or a leaky flush valve seat. Mineral buildup on internal parts can also prevent the tank from refilling and shutting off correctly. Our Rockwood plumbers inspect each component, identify the faulty part, and repair or replace it to stop the water loss.
How can I tell if my running toilet needs a simple repair or a full replacement?
If the tank or bowl is cracked, the porcelain is deteriorating, or multiple internal parts have corroded, replacing the entire toilet is often more cost-effective. However, if only the flapper, fill valve, or handle assembly is worn, a targeted repair will restore proper function. During a service call, we perform a comprehensive evaluation and provide a clear recommendation so you can decide between repair and replacement with confidence.
Will a running toilet really make my water bill go up?
Yes. A toilet that runs continually can waste 150–300 gallons of water per day—adding $30–$70 or more to a monthly bill in Rockwood. Fixing the problem promptly not only conserves water but also prevents hidden moisture damage around the base of the toilet and inside the walls or floor.
Do you offer same-day service for running toilets in Rockwood?
We do. Calls received before 1 p.m. Monday–Saturday are typically handled the same day, subject to parts availability. Our stocked service vans carry the most common toilet repair and replacement components, allowing us to resolve 90 % of running-toilet issues on the first visit.
What other plumbing fixtures can you replace during the same visit?
In addition to toilets, our technicians can replace faucets, showerheads, shut-off valves, supply lines, and garbage disposals while on site. Combining multiple fixture replacements in one appointment saves on trip fees and ensures every fixture meets current efficiency standards and local Rockwood plumbing codes.
How much does it cost to repair a running toilet or replace it in Rockwood?
A basic flapper or fill-valve repair generally ranges from $125–$200, including parts and labor. More extensive rebuilds with new flush valves, handles, and supply lines average $250–$350. Full toilet replacement, which includes removing the old unit, installing a new water-efficient model, and disposal, typically costs $450–$750, depending on the model you select. All prices are quoted upfront with no hidden fees.
