Toilet Repair: Fast
Fixes for Every Toilet Problem
A toilet that runs constantly, rocks on the floor, or won’t stop clogging isn’t just annoying, it’s wasting water and often signals a bigger problem underneath. South East Total Service repairs every part of a residential or commercial toilet, from the fill valve and flapper down to the wax ring and closet flange, and we get it done right the first time so you’re not calling us back for the same issue next month.
Common
Toilet Problems
We Fix
Toilet issues rarely show up alone. Our technicians diagnose the full fixture, not just the symptom you noticed, so a running toilet repair doesn’t turn into a second visit for a leak you didn’t know was there.
Running Toilets
A toilet that keeps running after the tank fills usually points to a worn flapper, a misadjusted fill valve, or a float set too high. We repair or replace the internal tank hardware and test the fill and flush cycle before we leave, so the fix holds.
Clogged Toilets
Not every clog clears with a plunger. When a toilet backs up repeatedly, the blockage may sit further down the line or point to a venting or sewer issue. We clear stubborn clogs and, when a clog keeps coming back, inspect the drain line to find out why.
Leaking Toilets and Tanks
Water pooling at the base of the toilet is most often a failed wax ring or a cracked flange, while water inside the tank usually traces back to a bad fill valve or supply line connection. Left alone, a base leak can damage subflooring, so we treat this as a priority repair.
Flange and Wax Ring Repair
A damaged or misaligned closet flange is one of the most common reasons a toilet rocks, leaks, or smells faintly of sewer gas. We repair or replace the flange, reset the toilet on a new wax ring, and re-secure it to the floor so it sits level and sealed.
Fill Valve and Flush Valve Repair
Fill valves and flush valves wear out over years of daily use. We repair or replace both components as needed, matching parts to your specific toilet model so the repair lasts rather than failing again within a few months.
Toilet Installation and Replacement
When a toilet is cracked, outdated, or simply due for an upgrade, we install high-efficiency and WaterSense-certified models that cut water use without sacrificing flush performance. Installation includes removing the old fixture, resetting the flange and wax ring, and confirming a solid, leak-free seal before we consider the job finished.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my toilet keep running after the tank fills?
A running toilet is almost always caused by a worn flapper that isn’t sealing, a fill valve that isn’t shutting off, or a float set too high. Our technicians identify which component has failed and repair or replace it so the toilet stops running for good.
Why is water leaking from the base of my toilet?
Water at the base of the toilet is typically caused by a failed wax ring or a cracked or corroded closet flange. This should be repaired quickly, since ongoing leaks can damage the subfloor beneath the toilet.
Can you fix a toilet that clogs repeatedly, or does it need to be replaced?
Most repeat clogs can be resolved by clearing the blockage and checking for a partial obstruction or venting issue further down the line. Replacement is only necessary if the toilet itself has an outdated, low-flow design that can’t clear waste effectively.
How much does toilet repair cost?
Cost depends on what’s failed, whether it’s a simple fill valve swap or a full flange and wax ring replacement. We provide an upfront, flat price before starting any work, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Do you install high-efficiency or WaterSense toilets?
Yes. We install WaterSense-certified and high-efficiency toilets that reduce water use while maintaining strong flush performance, and we handle the full installation including flange and wax ring replacement.
