Common Toilet Problems We Fix

These are the issues we see most often on toilet calls in Aurora:

• Toilet running constantly - water trickling into the bowl nonstop. Almost always a worn flapper or a fill valve that won’t shut off. A running toilet can waste 200 gallons a day and add $30 to $70 to your monthly water bill.
• Ghost flushing - the toilet refills on its own every few minutes without anyone touching it. Same culprit: a flapper that’s not sealing completely. Water slowly leaks into the bowl until the tank gets low enough to trigger the fill valve.
• Leaking from the base - water pooling around the bottom of the toilet after you flush. That’s a failed wax ring. The seal between the toilet and the floor flange has broken down. It needs to come off, get a new ring, and get reset properly.
• Leaking from the tank - water running down the outside of the tank or dripping at the connection point. Usually a failed tank-to-bowl gasket or a cracked fill valve. Could also be condensation if the tank is cold - but if you’re seeing actual drips, it’s a seal issue.
• Weak flush - toilet flushes but doesn’t clear the bowl well. Could be a partially clogged drain, a worn flapper that drops too fast, low water level in the tank, or clogged rim holes under the toilet bowl.
• Toilet won’t flush at all - handle works but nothing happens, or it flushes but barely. Check the flapper chain first - sometimes it gets disconnected or stuck. If the chain is fine, it’s likely the flush valve or the handle mechanism.
• Wobbly toilet - rocks when you sit on it. Could be loose toilet bolts, a damaged floor flange, or a deteriorated wax ring. Don’t ignore this one. Every time it moves, it works the wax seal looser.
• Toilet makes noise after flushing - a whining or hissing fill sound that goes on too long usually means a slow fill valve. A foghorn-like noise is typically a worn fill valve ballcock. Both are parts replacements.
• Toilet overflowing - either a clog or a float set too high in the tank. If it’s backing up regularly, you may have a main line issue rather than a toilet problem.

If you’re not sure which of these you’re dealing with, just call (720) 903-1527). We’ll ask a couple of questions and usually have a good idea before we even show up.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Toilet

Repair is almost always the right call when it’s a single component - a flapper, fill valve, handle, or wax ring. These parts are inexpensive and the labor is straightforward. Even a wax ring replacement on a toilet that’s otherwise in good shape is worth doing.

Replacement makes more sense when:

• The toilet is 15 years or older and you’re dealing with multiple issues at once
• There’s a crack in the porcelain - tank or bowl. Cracks don’t seal, they grow.
• The floor flange is damaged and the toilet has been rocking for a while - if the subfloor is compromised, you’re looking at a bigger repair regardless
• You’ve called us twice this year for the same toilet. At some point the math tips toward a new one.

Newer toilets also use significantly less water - 1.28 gallons per flush vs. 3.5 gallons on a toilet from the 1990s. If your toilet is that old, replacement pays for itself in a couple of years on water bills alone.

We’ll give you our honest take when we’re there. We’re not going to push a new toilet if a $150 repair handles it.

Toilet Problems in Aurora Homes

A few things we see regularly in Aurora that are worth knowing about:

Hard water. Aurora’s water is high in calcium and magnesium. That mineral buildup deposits inside fill valves and supply lines over time, restricting flow and causing fill valves to stick or fail early. It’s one reason toilet internals in Aurora homes wear out faster than the manufacturer’s ratings suggest. If your toilet is slow to fill, hard water is often part of the reason.

Older homes in Hoffman Heights and Aurora Hills often have original toilets that are 30 or 40 years old. These still work - but the tank internals have usually been cobbled together with replacement parts over the years, and at some point it makes more sense to start fresh.

Newer builds in Saddle Rock and Tallyn’s Reach sometimes have builder-grade toilets that were installed as cheaply as possible. Fill valves and flappers in these toilets can fail within 5 to 7 years. Not a structural problem, just low-quality parts that need upgrading.

Finished basements. A lot of Aurora homes have basement bathrooms with toilets that see light use. These actually develop more seal problems than primary bathrooms because the wax ring dries out when a toilet sits unused for months at a time.

What to Expect When We Show Up

We diagnose the toilet, show you what we found, and give you a flat-rate price before we touch anything. No hourly billing. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Most repairs take 30 to 60 minutes. A wax ring replacement takes a bit longer because the toilet comes off the floor - figure 1 to 2 hours. If we’re replacing the whole toilet, that’s 1 to 3 hours including hauling out the old one.

We carry common parts on the truck - flappers, fill valves, supply lines, wax rings, flush valves. Most repairs happen on the first visit.
