A toilet that runs, whistles or refills on its own usually needs a new flapper or fill valve. A toilet that rocks or leaks at the base needs a new wax ring and a flange check before the subfloor rots.

What you can do before we arrive
Lift the tank lid and watch a flush. If water keeps running into the overflow tube, the fill valve needs adjusting or replacing; if the bowl slowly drains and refills, the flapper is leaking.
What we see in Upstate homes
In crawl space homes around Greenville, a leaking toilet seal shows up as rot under the bathroom floor long before it shows on the tile. When we reset a toilet we look at the subfloor from below if there is access.
Keeping it from coming back
Replace flappers every three to five years, avoid in-tank cleaning tablets that eat rubber parts, and fix a rocking toilet right away before the seal fails.
Questions about toilet repair
Why does my toilet keep running?
Usually a worn flapper or a fill valve that will not shut off. Both are inexpensive parts.
Is a rocking toilet a big deal?
It can break the wax seal and let water soak the subfloor. Fix it early.
Should I repair or replace an old toilet?
If the bowl and tank are sound, repairs are cheap. If it is cracked or clogs constantly, replacement is worth considering.
