Toilet Repair and Installation in Columbus, OH
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.
Common Toilet Problems We Fix
Most are quick repairs. A few mean it's time for a new toilet:
It Runs or Refills by Itself
A worn flapper or a fill valve gummed up with mineral scale lets water trickle into the bowl all day.
Water at the Base
A failed wax ring or loose bolts. Left alone, it rots the subfloor.
Frequent Clogs
Some older low-flow toilets clog easily. Frequent clogs can also mean a problem in the drain or the lateral.
Cracked or Wobbly
A wobble can be reset. A crack in the tank or bowl means replacement.
Toilets in Columbus Homes
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.
Mineral Buildup in Tanks
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.
Toilets That Gurgle When the Washer Runs
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.
Old Flanges and Shutoff Valves
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.

Toilet Questions From Columbus Homeowners
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.
