Know the Signs

Common Toilet Problems We Fix

Most toilet problems are quick fixes:

It Runs or Refills on Its Own

A worn flapper or fill valve lets water leak into the bowl. It can waste a lot of water.

Water Around the Base

A failed wax ring or a cracked flange. Fix it before the subfloor rots.

It Clogs Often

An early low-flow model, a partial clog in the trap or a problem further down the line.

It Rocks

A loose or broken flange. Rocking breaks the seal and leads to leaks.

Local Knowledge

Toilets in Arlington Heights Homes

Bathrooms in Arlington Heights range from original 1950s tile to recent remodels, and the toilet problems follow the age of the room.

Old Flanges in Postwar Bathrooms

In homes from the 1940s through the 1960s, the floor flange under the toilet is often cast iron and decades old. When it breaks, the toilet rocks and the seal fails. We repair or replace it.

Early Low-Flow Toilets

Many toilets installed in the 1990s were early low-flow models that clog easily. A modern high-efficiency toilet uses less water and flushes better.

When Toilets Gurgle

If the toilet gurgles when the washer drains or the tub empties, the main line may be partly blocked. In older neighborhoods, roots in clay pipe are a common cause. See drain cleaning.

Toilet Questions From Arlington Heights Homeowners

Usually the flapper or fill valve isn't sealing.

Usually the flapper at the bottom of the tank or the fill valve isn't sealing, so water keeps trickling into the bowl. Replacing them is a quick, inexpensive fix.

It can be. A failed seal can rot the subfloor over time.

It can be. Water at the base usually means the wax ring or flange has failed. Over time it soaks the subfloor and can damage the ceiling below. Fix it early.

Running and minor leaks are repairs. A cracked bowl or constant clogging means replace.

Running, small leaks and loose seats are repairs. A cracked bowl or tank, or an older toilet that clogs all the time, is usually worth replacing.

Yes. Most toilets in Arlington Heights homes have a standard 12-inch rough-in, but older bathrooms sometimes differ. We'll confirm before installing.

It depends on the toilet and flange. You get a flat price first.

It depends on the toilet, whether the flange or shutoff needs replacing and removal of the old one. We give you a flat-rate price before any work begins.
