A running toilet wastes up to 200 gallons of water per day — that's over $70 a month added to your water bill. Whether your toilet runs constantly, rocks on the floor, won't flush properly, or needs complete replacement, we fix it right the first time.
Most toilet problems come down to a handful of common components that wear out over time. We carry all standard parts on our trucks for same-visit repairs.
A toilet that runs constantly is almost always caused by a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve, or an improperly adjusted float. We diagnose the exact cause and replace the worn component — usually a 30-minute fix.
If your toilet requires multiple flushes or doesn't clear the bowl completely, the issue is usually a clogged rim jet, a worn flapper that closes too quickly, or low water level in the tank.
A toilet that rocks or has water at its base usually has a failed wax ring seal. This allows sewer gases and water to leak under the toilet. We reset the toilet with a new wax ring and check the flange condition.
We clear toilet clogs using professional closet augers that reach deeper than plungers and won't scratch your porcelain. For severe blockages, we use a drain snake to clear the drain line.
We replace fill valves, flappers, flush valves, trip levers, tank bolts, and all internal tank components. We also repair or replace cracked tanks and lids.
When repair isn't cost-effective or you want to upgrade to a water-efficient model, we remove the old toilet and install your new one including wax ring, supply line, and seat.
Upgrading your toilet can reduce water usage by 20-60% compared to older models. Modern 1.28 GPF toilets perform better than the old 3.5 GPF units while using far less water. We install all major brands including Kohler, American Standard, TOTO, and Gerber.
Most toilet repairs are completed in a single visit. Call us today and we'll get your toilet working properly — and stop wasting water and money.
The toilet is the most frequently used plumbing fixture in any home, and toilet problems are among the most common service calls we receive throughout Jefferson City and Mid-Missouri. From a running toilet that wastes hundreds of gallons per day to a complete clog that renders the bathroom unusable, toilet issues demand prompt attention. At Affordable Plumbing Sewer and Drain Services, we handle all types of toilet repairs and replacements quickly and professionally, restoring full function to your bathroom with minimal disruption.
A running toilet is one of the most common and most wasteful plumbing problems. The sound of water continuously running in the tank is caused by a faulty flapper, fill valve, or float assembly that allows water to leak from the tank into the bowl. This seemingly minor issue can waste 200 gallons or more per day — adding significantly to your water bill and, for homes on septic systems, overloading the septic system with excess water. In most cases, a running toilet can be repaired quickly and inexpensively by replacing the internal tank components. We carry replacement parts for all major toilet brands and can typically complete the repair in under an hour.
Toilet clogs range from minor blockages that respond to a plunger to severe obstructions deep in the drain line that require professional equipment to clear. When a plunger doesn't work, our technicians use professional toilet augers (also called closet augers) to reach blockages that are beyond the reach of a standard plunger. For clogs that extend into the main drain line, we use electric drain machines or hydro jetting equipment to clear the obstruction completely. We also perform sewer camera inspections to identify the cause of recurring toilet clogs, which are often caused by root intrusion, pipe damage, or improper items being flushed.
Toilet replacement is often the most cost-effective solution for older toilets that are cracked, constantly requiring repairs, or simply inefficient. Modern toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush compared to the 3.5 to 7 gallons used by toilets manufactured before 1994. Upgrading to a high-efficiency toilet can save a family of four up to 16,000 gallons of water per year — a significant reduction in water bills and a major benefit for septic system health. We install all styles of toilets including standard two-piece, one-piece, wall-hung, comfort height, and smart toilets with integrated bidet functions.
We also address toilet rocking, which is caused by a deteriorated wax ring seal at the base of the toilet. A failed wax ring allows sewer gases to escape into the home and can allow wastewater to leak under the toilet, causing floor damage. Replacing the wax ring and resetting the toilet is a straightforward repair that eliminates odors and prevents water damage to the subfloor.
