Quick answer
A toilet that keeps running is almost always caused by a worn or warped flapper that lets water leak from the tank into the bowl, a fill valve that's set too high or failing, or a chain that's too short or tangled. These are inexpensive parts, and the repair is usually quick.
Toilets are simple machines with a handful of parts that wear out: the flapper, fill valve, flush valve, tank-to-bowl gasket, supply line, and the wax ring that seals the toilet to the drain. Most toilet problems — running, phantom refills, weak flushes, leaks — come down to one of those parts.
Leaks at the base deserve fast attention. When the wax ring fails, water seeps under the toilet every time it's flushed, often without leaving an obvious puddle. Over months, that rots the subfloor around the flange, which turns a simple repair into a floor repair. A toilet that rocks is often an early warning.
For clogs, we use a closet auger that won't scratch the porcelain, and if a toilet keeps clogging, we look further — a partial blockage in the drain line, a failing main sewer line, or an older low-flow model that simply can't move waste well. Sometimes the honest answer is that toilet replacement will solve a problem that repairs won't.

Our reviews come from real emergencies — and how we handled them.
“We had a sewer backup on a Sunday night — our laundry room was completely flooded. I called Rooter Rescue at 9 PM and they had a tech at the door within 45 minutes. He cleared a major root intrusion in the main line and had everything flowing again by midnight. I couldn't believe the response time. They're the only plumber I'll ever call.”

“My water bill had been climbing for months and I couldn't figure out why. Rooter Rescue used electronic detection equipment to find a slab leak under my kitchen floor without ripping up a single tile — found it in under an hour. The repair was clean, fast, and came in exactly at the estimate. These guys are total pros.”
Mike T.

“My water heater died on a Friday morning. I called three plumbers — two couldn't get to me until next week. Rooter Rescue had a new unit installed that same afternoon. The tech explained every option clearly, gave me a fair price without any pressure, and left the work area cleaner than he found it. Five stars isn't enough.”

Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most about toilet repair.
Replace instead of repair when the bowl or tank is cracked, the toilet clogs constantly even after the drain line is cleared, it's an older model that uses far more water per flush than modern high-efficiency toilets, or repairs keep piling up. Simple problems like a running toilet or a leaking wax ring are almost always worth repairing.
