Common Toilet Problems in Elgin Homes
Most are fixed in one visit:
It Keeps Running
A worn flapper or fill valve lets water trickle into the bowl.
Water on the Floor
The wax ring or flange has failed. Fix it before the subfloor is damaged.
It Clogs All the Time
An old low-flow design, something stuck in the trap or a line problem.
Cracks in the Tank or Bowl
Even a hairline crack can leak. That's a replacement.
Toilets in Elgin Homes
The age of the bathroom says a lot about what goes wrong.
Old Flanges in Historic Homes
In homes built before 1940, the flange under the toilet may be cast iron or lead and decades old. When it fails, the toilet rocks and leaks.
Odd Rough-In Sizes
Some older bathrooms have a toilet set farther from or closer to the wall than today's standard. We measure before you buy.
Gurgling Means Check the Main
If the toilet bubbles when the tub drains, the main line may be partly blocked. In older neighborhoods, roots are a common cause. See drain cleaning.

Toilet Questions From Elgin Homeowners
Water is leaking past the flapper or the fill valve isn't shutting off.
Usually the flapper isn't sealing or the fill valve isn't shutting off at the right level. Both are quick, inexpensive repairs.
Yes. A failed seal soaks the subfloor over time.
Yes. Water from a failed wax ring soaks into the subfloor and can rot it or damage the ceiling below. Fix it early.
Measure the rough-in. We can do it for you.
Measure from the wall to the center of the floor bolts. Most are 12 inches, but older bathrooms sometimes differ. We can measure before you buy.
If it's cracked, clogs often or uses a lot of water, yes.
If it's cracked, clogs often or is an older high-water model, a new toilet is worth it. Running and minor leaks are usually repairs.

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.
