Toilet Repair and Installation in Joliet, IL
A toilet that runs all night, rocks on the floor or keeps clogging. We repair toilets and install new ones, with a flat price before we start. From our office on Ottawa Street in downtown Joliet.
Common Toilet Problems We Fix
Most are quick fixes:
It Runs or Refills on Its Own
Mineral scale on the flapper and fill valve keeps them from sealing. A very common Joliet repair.
Water at the Base
A failed wax ring. Fix it before the subfloor rots.
Stains in the Bowl
Rings and stains from iron and minerals in the water.
It Rocks or Is Cracked
A wobble can be reset. A crack means replacement.
Toilets in Joliet Homes
In Joliet, toilet repairs usually come down to the water or the age of the bathroom.
Scale on Tank Parts
Mineral-heavy water builds scale on fill valves and flappers. Once they stop sealing, the toilet runs. New parts fix it fast.
Old Flanges in Old Bathrooms
In homes built before 1940, the floor flange under the toilet may be cast iron or lead and decades old. Replacing a toilet there often means a new flange too.
When Toilets Gurgle
If toilets gurgle when the washer drains, the main line is likely partly blocked. In older neighborhoods, roots in a clay lateral are common. See sewer rodding.

Got Questions?
Toilet Questions From Joliet Homeowners
Usually scale on the flapper or fill valve. A quick, inexpensive repair.
Usually the flapper or fill valve isn't sealing, often because of mineral scale from Joliet's well water. Replacing those parts is quick and inexpensive.
Mineral and iron stains come from the water. A softener or iron filter helps prevent them.
Rings and brown or dark stains usually come from minerals and iron in the water. A cleaner made for mineral stains removes them, and a water softener or iron filter helps keep them from coming back.
Running and leaking are repairs. Cracks and constant clogs mean replacement.
Running, tank leaks and loose seats are repairs. A cracked bowl or tank, or an old toilet that clogs all the time, is worth replacing.
An older low-flow model, a partial blockage in the line or something stuck in the trap.
Some early low-flow toilets from the 1990s just don't flush well. If a newer toilet clogs often, something may be stuck in the trap, or the drain line may be partly blocked. If more than one fixture is slow, see drain cleaning.
It depends on the toilet and any flange work. 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.
