Toilet Overflowing? Do This First
Stop the water before it reaches the floor below.
1. Turn Off the Water
Turn the small valve on the wall behind the toilet clockwise until it stops. If it is stuck, lift the tank lid and raise the float to stop the fill.
2. Do Not Flush Again
Flushing a clogged toilet adds more water. Try a plunger with a good seal, but stop if the bowl is close to the rim.
3. Call (610) 489-2717
If the clog will not clear or water is leaking through the floor, call us. We answer 24/7.
Toilet Repair
Most toilet problems come down to a few parts: the flapper, fill valve, flush valve, wax ring or the bolts that hold the toilet down. A running toilet alone can waste a large amount of water every day.
We find the worn part and replace it, and we tell you honestly when a toilet is old enough that replacing it makes more sense.
Running Toilet
Worn flapper, fill valve or flush valve.
Leaking at the Base
Failed wax ring or cracked flange.
Weak or Double Flush
Clogged rim jets, low tank level or worn parts.
Rocking Toilet
Loose bolts or a damaged flange underneath.
Food coloring in the tank is a quick leak test. If color reaches the bowl without flushing, the flapper needs replacing.
Toilet Installation & Replacement
We remove the old toilet, check the flange and floor for damage, and set the new toilet with a new wax ring, bolts and supply line so it does not leak or rock.
Choosing a new toilet? A WaterSense model uses 1.28 gallons per flush or less, and comfort-height toilets sit higher and are easier to use.
Low-Flow Toilets
WaterSense models that save water every flush.
Comfort Height
Taller seats that are easier to use.
Customer-Supplied
We install toilets you bought yourself.
Flange Repairs
Damaged flanges fixed before the new toilet goes in.
Measure from the wall to the center of the floor bolts before you buy. Most toilets need a 12-inch rough-in, but some older homes have 10 or 14 inches.
Toilet Keeps Clogging?
A toilet that clogs again and again, or gurgles when another fixture drains, may have a problem further down the line, such as tree roots or a blocked sewer lateral. In older Montgomery County homes that is often the real cause.
What not to flush, and when to call.
That points to a main line clog. Call (610) 489-2717.
Never Flush These
- Wipes, even ones labeled flushable
- Paper towels and tissues
- Feminine products and cotton swabs
- Dental floss and hair
- Grease and food
- Cat litter

Toilet Repair FAQs
Why does my toilet keep running?
Usually a worn flapper lets water leak into the bowl, or the fill valve does not shut off. Both are inexpensive parts to replace.
Why is water leaking around the base?
Most often the wax ring under the toilet has failed, or the toilet is rocking on loose bolts. Stop using it and have it reset before the subfloor is damaged.
Should I repair or replace my toilet?
Repair it if the bowl and tank are sound and the problem is a part. Replace it if the porcelain is cracked, it clogs constantly, or it is an old high-volume model.
Do you install toilets I bought myself?
Yes. We install customer-supplied toilets and bring the wax ring, bolts and supply line.
Why does my toilet clog so often?
An older low-flow toilet, a partial clog in the drain, or a problem in the main sewer line are common causes. If plunging only helps for a while, have the line checked.
