Toilet repair and replacement
Toilet repair fixes running toilets (flapper, fill valve), leaks at the base (wax ring, flange), weak flushes and clogs; replacement installs a new toilet with a new seal and supply line. A leak at the base should be fixed quickly because it can rot the subfloor.

- Under an hour; replacement about two hours.
- Repair or replace
- Repair parts; replace cracked toilets.
A running toilet can waste a lot of water every day. Most internal repairs take under an hour.
A toilet that rocks or leaks at the base needs a new seal and a secure flange.
