Toilet Problems We Fix
Most toilet trouble falls into a few groups.

-
Phantom flushing:The toilet refills on its own because water slips past the flapper.
-
Weak flush:Mineral buildup under the rim or a low water level cuts the flush power.
-
Leaks at the base:A failed seal lets water seep onto the floor, and a toilet leaking at base joints can soften the subfloor.
-
Rocking:A loose toilet strains the seal and the flange.
-
Cracked tank:A hairline crack can seep for weeks before it shows.
-
Clogs that return:A stubborn clog may sit deeper in the drain than a plunger reaches.

How We Fix a Leaking Base
When water shows up around the base, the seal is the first suspect.
Shut off and drain
We close the supply and empty the tank and bowl.
Lift the toilet
The toilet comes up so we can see the flange.
Check the flange

New seal and bolts
A fresh wax or foam seal and new bolts go in.
Reset and tighten
We set the toilet level and snug it down evenly.
Caulk and test
A bead of caulk finishes the base, and we flush several times to check for leaks.
New Toilet Installation
A new toilet is a clean, quick swap. Toilet installation Middletown CT homes schedule often takes under two hours.
We remove the old toilet, check the rough in distance, set the new one, connect a new supply line and haul the old unit away. Ask about a WaterSense model, which is tested by the EPA to use less water per flush.
Running Toilets and Your Water Bill
Residential water bills in Middletown come quarterly. A slow leak can run for months before the bill shows it.
Try this dye test. Drop a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait 15 minutes without flushing. If color shows in the bowl, the flapper is leaking. It is a cheap fix that stops wasted water.
