A running toilet, a stubborn clog, or a wobbly bowl might seem minor, but small toilet issues can waste thousands of gallons of water a year. Our Greenville plumbers fix it fast or install a brand-new unit correctly the first time.
Most toilet problems fall into a handful of categories β here's what we see most often.
A toilet that keeps running is usually caused by a worn flapper or fill valve, and can waste hundreds of gallons of water a day if left unrepaired.
Recurring clogs may point to a partial blockage in the toilet's trap or the drain line beyond it, not just what's currently stuck in the bowl.
A toilet that rocks when you sit down often has a broken wax ring seal or a damaged flange, which can lead to leaking beneath the floor if ignored.
Water pooling around the base of a toilet usually means the wax ring seal has failed and needs to be replaced before it damages the subfloor.
If your toilet is more than 15-20 years old, upgrading to a modern low-flow model can significantly cut water usage without sacrificing flush performance β many older toilets use over twice as much water per flush as current WaterSense-certified models.
Our team handles removal of the old unit, proper disposal, and installation of your new toilet with a fresh wax ring seal and correctly torqued bolts, so you don't end up back here in six months with a wobble or a slow leak.
Many homes in Greenville's established neighborhoods still have their original toilets from the 1980s or 1990s, which use significantly more water per flush and are more prone to internal component wear after decades of use. Replacement rubber flappers and fill valves degrade over time, especially with the mineral content in Greenville's water supply, leading to that classic running-toilet sound.
Homes on a crawl space foundation, common throughout the Greenville area, can also experience more flange and subfloor issues over time due to moisture exposure, which is part of why a wobbly toilet should be addressed promptly rather than left to worsen.
Cost depends on the specific issue β a flapper or fill valve replacement is typically inexpensive, while a wax ring reseal or flange repair involves more labor. We provide a written estimate before starting.
Most standard toilet installations in Greenville homes take under two hours, including removal of the old unit and disposal.
