Running Toilet Repair in Astoria, IL

A toilet that runs between flushes can waste a couple hundred gallons a day, and most people only notice when the water bill jumps. A-1 Plumbing Services connects Astoria, IL homeowners with plumbers who fix the cause instead of jiggling the handle.

The usual suspects are few. A warped flapper lets water seep into the bowl, so the tank refills on its own every so often (the ghost flush). A fill valve set too high spills water down the overflow tube. A lift chain that is too short holds the flapper open a crack.

Here is a check you can do tonight. Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait 15 minutes without flushing. Color in the bowl means the flapper or the flush valve seat is leaking.

If the seat under the flapper is pitted, the plumber will tell you whether a seal kit or a full valve swap makes more sense.

Toilet repair FAQs

Common questions about toilet repair and toilet installation

Questions we hear most often about Running Toilet Repair in Astoria, IL.

Talk to a person
Is water around the base of my toilet serious?
It can be. If it shows up after flushing, the seal under the toilet has likely failed and water is reaching the subfloor. Get it checked before the floor goes soft.
What size toilet do I need for my bathroom in Astoria, IL?
Measure the rough-in from the finished wall to the center of the floor bolts. Most homes are 12 inches, and some older houses are 10 or 14 inches. Buy a toilet that matches.
What is the difference between a 1.28 and a 1.6 gallon toilet?
1.6 gallons per flush is the federal maximum. 1.28 gallons is the high-efficiency standard used by WaterSense and required by law in several states, including California, Texas, Colorado and Georgia.
Should I repair or replace my toilet?
Repair when the problem is a valve, flapper, seal or bolt. Consider replacing when the bowl or tank is cracked, parts are discontinued, or an older toilet flushes poorly even with new parts.
How long does toilet installation take?
A straight swap on a sound flange usually takes a couple of hours. Flange repairs, a damaged subfloor or a wall-hung carrier add time.
