Repair of running, weak-flushing, clogged, and leaking toilets — fill valves, flappers, flush valves, and wax rings. We rebuild the tank internals or reset the bowl so it flushes strong and stops wasting water.
Toilet Repair is one part of our plumbing maintenance coverage in Virginia. For the full picture — symptoms, costs, and when to repair vs. replace — start with the complete Plumbing Maintenance guide, or browse every plumbing maintenance service we offer.
A running toilet is the most wasteful common plumbing fault in a home — a worn flapper or fill valve can silently pass hundreds of gallons a day, and it's the single biggest driver of a mysteriously high water bill. Toilet repair fixes the everyday failures: the tank that runs, the weak or incomplete flush, the clog that keeps coming back, and the leak at the base. Nearly all of it comes down to inexpensive internal parts — a flapper, a fill valve, a flush valve, or a wax ring — and rebuilding them restores a strong, quiet, water-tight toilet in a single {city} visit.
Each symptom points to a specific part. A toilet that runs or refills on its own (a phantom flush) has a worn flapper not sealing or a fill valve that won't shut off; a weak or incomplete flush is a partly clogged rim jet, a flapper closing too early, or a low water level; a clog that returns points past the bowl to the branch or trap; and water at the floor is a failed wax ring. We diagnose which it is, rebuild the tank internals with quality valves, clear the jets or the line, or reset the bowl on a new ring — and confirm a full, clean flush before we leave across {county}.
Toilet repair almost always beats replacement — the parts are cheap, the fix is fast, and a quality toilet is built to be rebuilt many times over. We'll tell you honestly when a tank or bowl is cracked, or when an old 3.5-gallon guzzler is worth replacing with a 1.28-gallon model that pays back on the {areas} water bill — but for the running, weak, or leaking toilet, a rebuild is the right call. And because a running toilet wastes water around the clock, fixing it promptly usually pays for itself on the next {city} bill.
Signs you need toilet repair
Toilet runs constantly or cycles on its own
A tank that keeps running or refills without a flush is a worn flapper or fill valve wasting hundreds of gallons a day. Rebuilding the internals stops the silent waste on the the United States water bill.
A flush that won't clear the bowl points to clogged rim jets, an early-closing flapper, or a low water level. We restore a strong flush at the the United States toilet without replacing it.
Water pooling at the base
Water at the floor when you flush is a failed wax ring letting the seal weep. Resetting the bowl on a new ring stops it before the your area subfloor rots.
Toilet clogs repeatedly
A toilet that clogs again and again has a partial blockage in the trap or the branch beyond it. We clear it fully rather than plunging the same the United States clog weekly.
The bowl rocks or the handle sticks
A rocking bowl breaks its seal and a sticking handle is a worn flush lever or chain. Both are quick fixes that prevent a leak or a running tank in the the United States home.
Common causes & what we fix
Worn flapper
The rubber flapper that seals the flush valve hardens and warps until it leaks by, causing the tank to run and refill. A new flapper is the fix for most the United States running-toilet calls.
Failed fill valve
The fill valve that refills the tank wears until it won't shut off cleanly or refills slowly. Replacing it stops the running and restores a proper fill in the the United States tank.
Clogged rim jets or trap
Mineral scale blocks the rim jets that drive the flush, and a partial trap blockage weakens it. Clearing them brings back the your area toilet's flush power.
Failed wax ring
The wax ring sealing the bowl to the floor dries or breaks when the toilet rocks, leaking at the base. Reseating on a new ring stops the the United States floor leak.
Cracked or worn internals
Flush levers, chains, and overflow tubes wear and break, and a cracked tank or bowl leaks outright. We replace the worn parts, or flag a cracked fixture for replacement in the the United States home.

Frequently asked about toilet repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Toilet Repair near me ask us:
Why does my toilet keep running?
A constantly running toilet is almost always a worn flapper not sealing or a fill valve that won't shut off. Both are inexpensive parts we replace in a single visit, and fixing it stops hundreds of wasted gallons a day on your the United States water bill.
Can you fix a toilet that won't flush strongly?
Yes — a weak flush usually comes from clogged rim jets, an early-closing flapper, or a low tank water level. We clear the jets and rebuild the internals to restore a strong, complete flush at the the United States toilet.
Should I repair or replace my toilet?
Repair almost always wins — the internal parts are inexpensive and a quality toilet is built to be rebuilt. We recommend replacement only when the tank or bowl is cracked, or when swapping an old guzzler for a 1.28-gallon model pays back on the your area bill.
Water is leaking around the base — what is it?
That's a failed wax ring, often because the bowl rocked and broke the seal. We reset the toilet on a new ring and check the flange so it seals for good, before the water damages the the United States subfloor.
How long does a toilet repair take?
Most toilet repairs run 30–60 minutes — rebuilding the tank internals, clearing a clog, or resetting the bowl on a new wax ring. We confirm a full, clean flush before finishing and serve ZIPs across the United States.
