Toilet Repair & Installation in Roanoke, VA

A constantly running toilet is almost always a worn flapper or a failing fill valve — parts that wear out with age. It’s usually a quick, inexpensive fix, but it’s worth doing promptly: a running toilet can quietly waste hundreds of gallons a week, which adds up on your water bill. We replace the worn parts, check the flush and fill for proper operation, and make sure the whole mechanism seats cleanly so it doesn’t start ghost-flushing again in a month. Call (540) 302-5580 and describe it.

Yes — a rocking toilet or one leaking at the base usually means a failed wax ring or a corroded closet flange, both common over the old cast-iron drains in older Roanoke homes. Left alone, that slow leak rots the subfloor and can spread to the framing, so it’s worth fixing before it becomes a floor-replacement job. We pull the toilet, replace the wax ring, and repair or replace the flange so the toilet seals to the drain and sits solid on the floor — no rocking, no seepage. If the subfloor’s already soft, we’ll show you and talk through the repair before resetting the fixture.

Usually yes. Older toilets can use three to five gallons per flush, while a modern high-efficiency unit uses around 1.28 — a large, ongoing saving, especially with several toilets in the house. Beyond water use, newer toilets flush more effectively and have better-sealing, easier-to-service parts that outlast the mineral-fouled valves in an aging unit. The upgrade typically pays for itself over time, and we set the new toilet properly — including a fresh wax ring and flange repair where the old one has corroded — so it seals and doesn’t rock. We haul the old one away, too.
