Toilet Repair and Installation in Northbrook, IL
A toilet that runs all night, rocks when you sit or leaves water on the floor. We repair toilets and install new ones in every bathroom of the house, with a flat price before we start. From our headquarters on Techny Road in Northbrook.
Common Toilet Problems We Fix
Most toilet problems are quick repairs. A few mean it's time for a new one:
It Runs or Refills on Its Own
A worn flapper or fill valve lets water leak into the bowl. It's quiet, but it wastes water all day.
Water on the Floor
A failed wax ring or loose bolts let water out under the toilet. Left alone, it rots the subfloor.
It Clogs Every Week
Some older low-flow designs clog easily. Frequent clogs can also point to the drain line or the main sewer.
Cracks or a Wobble
A wobble can be reset. A crack in the tank or bowl means replacement.
Toilets in Northbrook Homes
Many Northbrook homes have a bathroom on every floor, sometimes including the basement. More toilets means more flappers, wax rings and shutoff valves to wear out.
Basement Toilets and Ejector Pumps
A basement toilet that drains slowly or backs up may be pointing at the ejector pump, not the toilet. We check both.
When Every Toilet Gurgles
If toilets on different floors gurgle when the washer drains, the clog is in the main line. Postwar clay lines with root intrusion are the usual cause. See sewer rodding.
Old Flanges Under New Toilets
Replacing a toilet in a 1960s or 1970s bathroom often means a new flange or shutoff valve too. We check both so the new toilet sits solid and doesn't leak.

Toilet Questions From Northbrook Homeowners
Most running and leaking problems are repairs. Cracks or constant clogs usually mean replacement.
Running, leaking at the tank or a loose seat are repairs. A cracked bowl or tank, constant clogs on an old design or a toilet that no longer fits your bathroom usually mean replacing it.
Usually a worn flapper, fill valve or float. A quick repair.
Usually a worn flapper, a fill valve that doesn't shut off or a float set too high. These are quick, inexpensive repairs.
The washer is overloading a partly blocked line or an ejector pump. We check which.
A washer sends a lot of water down at once. If the basement toilet backs up when it drains, either the main line is partly blocked or the ejector pump that serves the basement isn't keeping up. We'll find out which one and fix it.
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 removal of the old one. We give you a flat-rate price before any work begins.
