Toilet repair: running, leaking and weak flushes
Toilets are simple machines, but they're easy to get wrong. Here are the problems we fix most often and what usually causes them.
- Toilet runs on and offA worn flapper, a bad fill valve or a chain that's too tight lets water leak into the bowl.
- Water at the baseA failed wax ring or loose closet bolts. It can damage the floor, so fix it soon.
- Weak or incomplete flushClogged rim jets, a low water level or a partial blockage.
- Toilet keeps cloggingA blockage in the line, or an older toilet that can't move waste well.
- Rocking toiletLoose bolts or a floor that has softened under the toilet.
- Tank sweats or leaksA cracked tank or worn tank-to-bowl bolts and gaskets.
- Phantom flushThe flapper is leaking enough to refill the tank on its own.
- Won't stop fillingA failed fill valve or float.
Most fixture repairs are done the same day you call.
Is your running toilet costing you money?
A toilet that runs is quietly using water around the clock. You may not hear it, because a slow leak past the flapper makes almost no sound. The simplest check is a few drops of food coloring in the tank. Wait fifteen minutes without flushing. If color shows in the bowl, the flapper is leaking.
The fix is often an inexpensive part, and we replace it in a short visit. If the toilet is old or has had repeated problems, we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it or whether a new toilet makes more sense. A modern toilet can use less water per flush than an older one. The EPA's WaterSense program labels toilets that use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, and that is a general benchmark worth asking about when you replace one.
Faucet repair and replacement
A dripping faucet wastes water, and a spray that goes sideways annoys everyone. Most faucet problems are inside the faucet, in a cartridge, washer, seal or aerator.
- Dripping spout: usually a worn cartridge, washer or seat.
- Low flow: a clogged aerator, which in Florida is often scale from hard water or well water.
- Leak at the handle or base: worn O-rings or seals.
- Stiff or loose handle: mineral buildup or a worn part.
- Corroded or pitted finish: salt air and minerals wear finishes, particularly near the coast.
- Old and discontinued models: when parts can't be found, replacement is the practical choice.
We repair when repair makes sense and replace when it doesn't. If you've bought a new faucet, we install it. If you'd like help choosing, we explain what to look for, without pushing any brand.
Garbage disposals: jams, leaks and replacement
The sound of a disposal humming but not turning means a jam. A leak under the sink can mean worn seals or a cracked housing. A tripped breaker or a reset button that keeps popping means the motor is struggling.
Kelly Jean Jones wrote after her sink collapsed and her pipes and garbage disposal snapped:
"Hands down the best plumber we've ever had. Came right to my house same day that sink collapsed and pipes and garbage disposal snapped. Can't beat your prices either."

Same-day service is a promise we try to keep. When we arrive, we see whether the disposal can be freed, repaired or needs replacement, and we give you an upfront price before we touch it. Replacement includes the mounting, the drain connection and the dishwasher hookup if you have one. Our tip: keep fibrous and starchy foods, grease and coffee grounds out of the disposal, and run cold water while it works. For clogs beyond the disposal, see drain cleaning.
We install what you've picked, or help you choose. Estimates are free.
Fixture upgrades: toilets, faucets, showers and sinks
Upgrading a fixture is one of the easiest ways to refresh a bathroom or kitchen. It is also where a poor installation shows up later, as a slow leak, a wobbly toilet or a faucet that sprays the wall.
- We install what you picked. Bring your own faucet, toilet or showerhead, or ask us what to look for before you buy.
- We replace the small parts. New supply lines and shutoff valves matter, and old ones can fail after the upgrade.
- We check the rough-in. We make sure the existing plumbing fits the new fixture.
- We test everything. Every connection is checked for leaks before we leave.
- Bigger project? For a full remodel, see kitchen and bathroom remodel plumbing.
Fixture problems common in Southwest Florida
- Hard and well water scale. Minerals clog aerators and showerheads and stiffen cartridges. A softener or filter reduces repeat problems.
- Salt air. Coastal homes in Cape Coral canal areas, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Marco Island see finishes pit and corrode faster.
- Seasonal homes. Fixtures that sit unused for months can dry out seals, so leaks may start when you return.
- Older homes. Original toilets and faucets from decades ago may use more water and be hard to find parts for.
- Manufactured and mobile homes. Fixture types and connections can differ, and we're familiar with them.
Fixture leaks that go unnoticed under cabinets and behind toilets can lead to bigger damage. If you see a stain, smell mustiness or find soft flooring, call us. For hidden leaks, see leak detection.

Toilet, faucet and disposal FAQ
Why does my toilet keep running?
A running toilet is most often caused by a worn flapper, a failing fill valve or a chain that's too short or too tight. You can test the flapper by adding food coloring to the tank. If color reaches the bowl without flushing, the flapper is leaking.
Is it better to repair or replace a toilet?
Repair is usually the right answer for a worn flapper, fill valve or wax ring. Replacement makes sense if the toilet is cracked, clogs repeatedly or is an older model with a high water use. We'll give you an honest recommendation.
What causes a leaking faucet?
Most leaks come from a worn cartridge, washer, O-ring or valve seat inside the faucet. Mineral scale from hard or well water speeds up the wear. A repair usually fixes it, and replacement is the choice when parts are not available.
My garbage disposal hums but won't spin. What does that mean?
It usually means something is jammed in the grinding chamber. Turn it off, don't put your hand inside, and call us. We'll free the jam, or tell you if the motor has failed and replacement is needed.
Can you install a faucet or toilet I bought myself?
Yes. We install customer-supplied fixtures and replace the supply lines and shutoff valves that go with them. If you'd like help choosing before you buy, ask us what to look for.
Do you offer same-day service for fixture repairs?
Often yes. Many fixture repairs are done the same day you call, and overflowing toilets and active leaks are treated as priorities, with emergency calls answered 24/7.
Do your fixture repairs come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our work is covered by a 1-year personal guarantee on parts and service, and we give you an upfront price before work begins.
