A running toilet might not seem like an emergency, but it can waste hundreds of gallons of water every day and add a noticeable amount to the monthly water bill. A toilet that rocks on its base may have a failing wax seal that is allowing water to seep into the subfloor with every flush, and that kind of hidden damage gets expensive fast. Even a toilet that flushes weakly creates daily frustration and often points to internal components that are worn out and overdue for replacement.

On the installation side, modern toilets offer significant improvements in water efficiency, flushing power, and overall design compared to older models. Replacing an aging toilet with a newer unit can reduce water usage by thousands of gallons per year while delivering stronger, more consistent flushes. Tim Ferguson Plumbing, Air & Electric helps homeowners decide whether repair or replacement is the better path and handles either option with straightforward pricing and skilled workmanship.

Toilet problems are easy to live with until they get worse, and most of the common issues homeowners deal with are straightforward for a licensed plumber to resolve. Watch for these signs that your toilet is ready for service.

• Toilet runs constantly or intermittently: A running toilet usually means the internal components need repair.
• Weak or incomplete flushes: Toilets that do not clear the bowl fully may have mineral buildup, a failing flush valve, or internal parts that are worn out.
• Rocking or wobbling on the floor: A toilet that moves when you sit on it often has a failing wax seal or loose mounting bolts that need attention.
• Water pooling around the base: Moisture around the bottom of the toilet can signal a broken wax ring, a cracked base, or a loose supply line connection.
• Frequent clogs: Toilets that clog regularly may have a partial blockage in the trap or drain line, or the toilet itself may not be performing the way it should.
• Cracks in the tank or bowl: Any visible crack in the porcelain is a replacement situation, as cracks worsen over time and can lead to sudden failure.
• Outdated toilet using excessive water: Older toilets can use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush compared to 1.28 gallons for modern high efficiency models.
• Ghost flushing: A toilet that seems to flush on its own is usually losing water through a worn flapper, wasting water around the clock.

Every toilet visit starts with evaluating the fixture and understanding what the homeowner has been experiencing. For repairs, our plumbers check the internal components, the seal, the connections, and the drain to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. For installations, we evaluate the bathroom layout, discuss the options that fit your needs and budget, and make sure the new toilet is compatible with the existing plumbing.

Findings and recommendations are explained in clear terms with straightforward pricing before work begins. Repairs are completed with quality parts and tested to confirm the toilet flushes properly, fills correctly, and shows no signs of leaking. New installations include removing the old toilet, setting the new unit on a fresh wax seal, connecting the supply line, and testing everything thoroughly. We leave the bathroom clean and make sure you are satisfied with the results before we wrap up.

Most toilet installations are completed in about an hour, including removal of the old unit, setting the new toilet, and testing all connections. We also offer emergency plumbing services to get your toilet up and running again.

How do I know if repairing is better than replacing?

If your toilet is cracked or leaking often, it might be time to replace it for a new one. Many of the newer models are also more efficient so it can save you money in the long-run. 

Can you install a toilet I already purchased?

Yes, we install customer supplied toilets as well as models we recommend based on your bathroom layout and household needs.

Do you repair all brands of toilets?

Yes, our plumbers work on all major toilet brands and have the parts and experience to handle repairs on standard, low flow, and high efficiency models.

What causes a toilet to leak at the base?

A leak at the base usually means the wax ring seal has failed, though loose mounting bolts or a cracked base can also be the cause. Our plumbers diagnose the exact issue and recommend the right fix.
