Problems We Solve
Running and Phantom Flushing
A running toilet fix usually means a new flapper or fill valve. If the tank refills on its own, the leak is slow and the flapper is the likely cause.
Leaking at the Base
A toilet leaking at base joints needs a new wax ring. We also check the flange and the floor around it.
Rocking Bowls
A loose toilet needs bolts tightened or shims set. A damaged flange gets repaired first.
Weak Flush and Clogs
When a toilet clogged plumber call comes in, we clear the blockage and check for a deeper issue in the drain.
Cracked Tanks
A cracked tank cannot be repaired well, so we replace the tank or the whole toilet.

- Pressure assist. Stronger flush, louder, and parts cost more.
