FAQ Page: Your Toilet Repair

Q1.The Leakage Refuses To Stop. What Should I Do?

The constant leakage means that a lot of water has already been wasted and you should be prepared for a utility bill that may upset you with a whopping amount. But you can handle the situation:

Try to Identify The Source Of The Leak

Try to identify the source of the leak. Is your tank refilling without any breaks? Or is the location somewhere else, which might be within or far from your reach?

Check The Flapper

The flapper is the rubber seal at the bottom of the tank that helps in closing the flush valve once the tank is filled. If you were unaware of the rubber seal ten there are bright chances that you never checked it too. A flapper’s worn out, damaged, and misalignment can contribute to a potential leak. Therefore, examine the flapper and see if it has any type of major or minor cracks, and see whether it fixes on the flush valve opening or not.

The Fill Valve Needs to be Inspected

If the flapper is doing its job correctly, then inspect the fill valve. The fill valve controls the flow of water that gets filled into the tank, now if the valve is assumed to be the culprit then it won’t shut off properly. Not shutting off will lead to constant trickling. Notice wear and tear symptoms and before the situation gets out of hand call a plumber. Otherwise, the leak will create a small pool and whoever enters the toilet can slip and injure themselves.

Q2.How Much Will A Toilet Leak Repair Cost?

Toilet leak repair’s cost depends on the severity of the leakage. If the issue will not settle down just by repairing and needs specific parts to replace the older ones with. There can also be a possibility that the parts are not widely available then which can impact your bill. However, to give you peace of mind, we have broken down the cost:

Simple Fixes

Replacing a flapper or adjusting the fill valve might cost around $20-$50 for parts and minimal labor.

Moderate Repairs

Replacing a cracked fill valve or toilet seat might cost $50-$100 for parts and labor.

Complex Repairs

Fixing leaks involving the supply line, wax ring, or toilet flange can cost $100-$300 or more depending on the extent of the work.

Q3. How Long Will The Toilet Leak Repair Take?

Usually, simple toilet leak repairs demand a maximum of thirty minutes, but again it depends on how bad the situation is. If it asks to replace the toilet itself or some other major changes that will not be fixed in half an hour then you can expect that it might take hours to see the end outcome.

Q4: How Can I Prevent Future Toilet Leak Repair?

Regularly inspect your toilet. Listen if the water is leaking from anywhere in the toilet. Properly flush when you have used the bathroom.
