Toilet repair

Running, leaking or rocking — fixed the same visit

Most toilet problems are internal parts, a failed wax seal, or a flange that's given up. We identify which one you have and tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement is the better spend.

Running, leaking or rocking — fixed the same visit from Hot Water Express

Why homeowners call us

What you get

Stops the water waste

A silently running toilet can waste water continuously — usually a quick fix.

Seal and flange work

Rocking or seeping at the base is a seal or flange issue, not a mop issue.

Replacement when it's due

Cracked tanks and bowls aren't repairable; we'll say so plainly.

What the visit covers

  • Fill valve, flapper and flush mechanism diagnosis
  • Supply line and shutoff valve inspection
  • Wax seal and closet flange evaluation
  • Bowl and tank inspection for cracks
  • Proper reset and leak test after any seal work

How it works

  1. 1

    Identify the symptom

    Running, leaking, weak flush and rocking each point somewhere different.

  2. 2

    Repair or replace

    We give you both costs before choosing a path.

  3. 3

    Test

    Multiple flush cycles and a base check before we call it done.
