Dispatch online, 24/7
A running toilet, a rocking base, or a leak at the floor, traced to its actual part and tested with a full flush cycle.
What causes a toilet to run constantly, and what fixes it?
Most toilet problems trace back to one of a small set of parts inside the tank: a worn flapper that will not seal, a fill valve that runs too long, or a flush valve seat that no longer closes fully. A running toilet almost always means one of those three, not a problem with the bowl itself.
A toilet that rocks at the base, or leaks at the floor when flushed, usually points to a failed wax ring or a cracked flange rather than a tank component, and that is a different repair entirely, one that involves lifting the bowl rather than opening the tank lid.
Either kind of repair gets tested with a full flush cycle and a check at the base before the visit is considered finished, not just a quick look inside the tank.
Signs worth a call
Tank issues and base issues look different from the start.
A flapper or fill valve that is not sealing or shutting off the way it should.
A loose base connection, often from a worn wax ring or a cracked flange underneath.
A seal failure at the base, which needs attention before it damages the surrounding floor.
A partially closed flush valve or a chain that is set with too much or too little slack.
A slow leak from the tank into the bowl that periodically triggers the fill valve.
Working in this area
A few facts about this area’s plumbing history shape how these repairs actually get approached.
A toilet flange original to a 1950s or 1960s home is often cast iron rather than PVC, and a cracked cast-iron flange is repaired differently than a modern plastic one, which matters for the part brought along.
A toilet inside a mid-rise or high-rise unit ties into a shared waste stack, so a persistent leak at the base sometimes involves confirming the issue is local to the unit rather than the building’s own line.
Bathrooms in some 55-plus communities west of the interstate still run toilets original to construction, old enough that a repair sometimes turns into a full fixture replacement instead.

Before you call
Yes, a constantly running fill valve wastes a meaningful amount of water over the course of a month; the fix behind it is usually a quick, inexpensive part.
Worth addressing soon. A failed seal there can let water reach the subfloor, which turns a simple fix into a bigger repair.
Yes, most tank repairs replace only the flapper, fill valve, or flush valve rather than the whole toilet.
Yes, whichever part is actually failing gets addressed in the same visit, tested with a full flush before finishing.
