Drain Cleaning
Slow, gurgling or backed-up drains in kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
A toilet that runs all night, rocks when you sit or leaves a puddle at the base. We repair toilets and install new ones, with a flat price before we start, from our office on West Goodale Boulevard.

Most are quick repairs. A few mean it's time for a new toilet:
A worn flapper or a fill valve gummed up with mineral scale lets water trickle into the bowl all day.
A failed wax ring or loose bolts. Left alone, it rots the subfloor.
Some older low-flow toilets clog easily. Frequent clogs can also mean a problem in the drain or the lateral.
A wobble can be reset. A crack in the tank or bowl means replacement.
In older Columbus homes, the toilet is often the newest thing in the bathroom. What's under it and behind it is a different story.
Hard water leaves scale on fill valves and flappers, which is one reason toilets start running. A new fill valve is usually a quick fix.
If toilets gurgle or the basement floor drain bubbles when the washer drains, the clog is in the main line. Roots in older clay laterals are a common cause. See sewer rodding.
Replacing a toilet in a home built before 1960 often means a new flange or shutoff valve too. We check both so the new one sits solid and doesn't leak.
A toilet repair should be quick, clean and priced up front.
We tell you plainly whether a new flapper fixes it or the toilet has reached the end.
You get a flat price before we open the tank.
Floors covered while we work, the old toilet hauled off if we replace it.

"Anthony was our technician to take out our old water heater and install a new one as well as install new inside parts to two of our toilets. He was very professional, courteous, respectful of our home, and very pleasant with whom to deal. We were very happy to have had Anthony as our plumber."
"Stephen and Brendon were great. Explained the options, transparent pricing on parts, had quick support from management on bid questions and great communication from scheduling to job completion. Efficient, cleaned up the area and worked well together even though they came at different times for different portions of the job. Definitely recommend them."
"Edgar Herrera , was amazing, outstanding customer service! Definitely recommend J.Blanton Plumbing!!."
Usually, for running or tank leaks. Cracks or constant clogs mean it's time to replace it.
Usually, if the problem is a running tank, a tank leak or a loose seat. Those are quick repairs. A crack in the bowl or tank, or an older toilet that clogs every week, is worth replacing.
Usually a worn flapper or a fill valve with mineral buildup. A quick repair.
Usually a worn flapper, a fill valve that doesn't shut off or a float set too high. In Columbus, mineral scale on the fill valve is a common cause. These are quick, inexpensive repairs.
Air is being pulled through the toilet, usually from a main line blockage or a vent problem.
When another drain pulls air through the toilet, the main line is often partly blocked or the vent isn't doing its job. In older homes, roots in the lateral are a common cause. See drain cleaning.
It depends on the toilet and any flange or valve work. You get a flat price first.
It depends on the toilet, whether the flange or shutoff valve needs replacing and hauling away the old one. We give you a flat-rate price before any work begins.
