A Running Toilet Wastes Real Money
A toilet that keeps running after the tank refills can waste 5 to 10 gallons an hour. Left alone for a year, that is tens of thousands of gallons on your bill for a repair that is usually straightforward.
Why Components Fail
Harsh water conditions and in-tank cleaner tablets break down flappers, seals and fill valves faster than most people expect. If yours is more than a few years old and running, the parts are usually the cause.
Replacing With a Water-Efficient Model
California requires high-efficiency toilets at 1.28 gallons per flush for new installations — against 3.5 gallons or more on older fixtures. Across a household flushing several times a day each, that adds up quickly on the water bill.

Common Questions
Repair or replace?
If the tank components are worn, a repair usually makes sense. If the bowl is cracked, the flange has failed, or it is a high-volume older fixture, replacement is normally the better value.
Can you supply the toilet?
Yes, or we can install one you have bought. We will tell you honestly if the model you picked is a poor fit for the rough-in.
