Toilet Installation and Repair in Prescott, AZ

While many issues, like a faulty handle or fill valve, are quick repairs, certain signs point toward replacement. If your toilet has a crack in the porcelain tank or bowl, it is a ticking time bomb for a flood and should be replaced immediately. You should also consider replacement if the toilet requires frequent repairs, is consistently wobbling, or if it is an older model that uses an excessive amount of water per flush. Upgrading to a modern, high-efficiency model can pay for itself over time through significantly lower water bills.

Common signs your toilet needs repair include constant running, weak flushing, frequent clogs, water leaking around the base, or unusual noises.

Not all leaks result in a puddle on the bathroom floor. A "silent leak" occurs when water escapes the tank into the bowl via a faulty flapper. You can test this by dropping a few drops of food coloring into the tank; if the color appears in the bowl after 15 minutes without flushing, you have a leak. Other signs include the sound of water running when the toilet hasn't been used, a bubbling or gurgling sound coming from the pipes, or a sudden, unexplained increase in your monthly water utility costs.
