Running Toilet Repair

A running toilet may seem small, but it can waste a surprising amount of water over time. If you hear the toilet refilling often, water constantly trickling, or the tank never seems to stop, it may be an issue with the flapper, fill valve, chain, handle, or water level.

Shanks Onsite Services can check the toilet, explain what is causing the issue, and repair or replace the needed parts.

Helpful tip: If your toilet is running constantly, you can usually turn off the small shutoff valve behind the toilet until it can be repaired.

Toilet Leak Repair

Water around a toilet is something you do not want to ignore. A leak may come from the tank, supply line, shutoff valve, base, wax ring, or even the flange underneath the toilet.

If the leak is at the base, it may also allow water to get under the flooring, which can lead to damage over time.

Signs you may have a toilet leak:

Water around the base
Soft flooring near the toilet
Sewer smell near the toilet
Toilet rocks or moves
Water dripping from the tank or supply line
Staining around the toilet

We can inspect the toilet and surrounding plumbing to find the source of the leak and recommend the right repair.

Clogged Toilet

A one-time clog may not always be serious, but repeated toilet clogs can point to a deeper issue. It may be the toilet itself, something stuck in the trap, a drain line issue, or a larger sewer/main line problem.

Shanks Onsite Services can help with toilet clogs and let you know if the issue appears to be isolated to the toilet or connected to a bigger drain problem.

Helpful tip: Avoid using chemical drain cleaners in toilets. They can be harsh, messy, and may damage plumbing or create unsafe conditions when a plumber has to work on the fixture.

Loose or Rocking Toilet Repair

A toilet should not move when you sit down. If it rocks, shifts, or feels loose, it may need to be reset. Sometimes the issue is loose bolts, but other times it can involve the wax ring, flange, flooring, or previous installation.

A loose toilet can eventually lead to leaks or sewer gas smells, so it is worth having it checked.

Toilet Replacement & Installation

Sometimes replacing the toilet makes more sense than continuing to repair an older or problematic one.

We install customer-supplied toilets and can help with toilet replacement when your current toilet is cracked, leaking, outdated, constantly clogging, or no longer working properly.

A proper toilet installation may include:

Removing the old toilet
Checking the flange
Installing a new wax ring or seal
Setting the new toilet securely
Connecting the supply line
Testing for leaks
Hauling away the old toilet, if included in the job

Before any work is done, we’ll go over what is needed and answer your questions.

Toilet Installation Estimate Calculator

Thinking about replacing a toilet? Use this calculator to get a general estimate for a toilet installation or replacement.

Toilet installs can vary depending on the toilet style, the condition of the flange, the shutoff valve, the flooring, and whether the toilet is supplied by us or the homeowner. This tool gives a helpful starting range, but a firm quote is best done in person.

For a firm price, we offer a free, no-pressure in-home quote with a licensed master plumber for toilet installations and replacements.

Important note for customer-supplied toilets

Customer-supplied toilet note:
We can install many customer-supplied toilets, but customer-supplied fixtures usually do not carry our full parts/workmanship coverage the same way a toilet supplied by Shanks Onsite Services would.

If a customer-supplied toilet has a defect, missing parts, fitment issue, or future failure, the homeowner is responsible for the product warranty, replacement parts, return/exchange process, and any additional labor needed to remove, reinstall, or correct issues related to the supplied product.

When we supply the toilet, we can help make sure the product is appropriate for the home and it is covered under our workmanship warranty.

When Should You Call a Plumber for a Toilet Problem?

The toilet rocks or moves
The toilet runs constantly
The shutoff valve does not work
You smell sewer gas

Frequently Asked Questions About Toilet Repair

Why does my toilet keep running?

A running toilet is often caused by a bad flapper, fill valve, chain issue, or water level problem. It is usually repairable, but it should be fixed because it can waste water.

Why is there water around the base of my toilet?

Water around the base may be from a failed wax ring, loose toilet, flange issue, or another leak. It is best to have it checked so water does not damage the floor.

Why does my toilet keep clogging?

Frequent clogs may be caused by the toilet itself, something stuck in the trap, flushing the wrong items, drain line buildup, or a main line issue.

Can you install a toilet I already purchased?

Yes, Shanks Onsite Services can install customer-supplied toilets. We can also check the shutoff valve, flange, and connections during installation.

Should I repair or replace my toilet?

If the toilet is newer and the issue is minor, repair may make sense. If it is older, cracked, leaking repeatedly, or clogging often, replacement may be the better option.

Do you repair toilet shutoff valves?

Yes. If the shutoff valve behind the toilet is leaking, stuck, or will not turn off, we can help repair or replace it.
