From a quick repair to a full replacement, our Master Plumber-licensed team handles it all — including same-day availability.
Toilet Leak Repair
Water pooling at the base, a tank that never stops running, or a slow drip from the supply line — we locate the source fast and seal it right. Leaks that go unaddressed waste thousands of gallons and can damage your subfloor.
Clogged Toilet Repair
If a plunger hasn't solved it, the blockage is likely deeper than it looks. We clear stubborn clogs safely — no harsh chemicals, no guesswork — and identify whether recurring clogs point to a larger drain issue.
Toilet Replacement
Old toilets use 3–7 gallons per flush. Modern high-efficiency models use as little as 1.28 GPF. We supply and install your new toilet, haul away the old one, and leave the bathroom cleaner than we found it.
New Toilet Installation
Adding a bathroom or remodeling? We handle the full installation — rough-in measurement, wax ring, supply line, and seat — with everything up to code. We work with your contractor or handle it as a standalone job.
Know Your Problem
We've Seen Every Toilet Issue.
Identify what's going on with your toilet — then call us. We've fixed every one of these more times than we can count.
Running Toilet
Water That Never Stops
If your toilet sounds like it's constantly refilling, a faulty flapper, fill valve, or float is usually to blame. A running toilet can waste 200+ gallons per day — and you'll see it on your water bill before you notice anything else.
We diagnose and replace the faulty component — most running toilet repairs are completed in under an hour.
Leaking Toilet
Water on the Floor or in the Wall
Puddles at the base usually mean a failed wax ring or loose floor bolts. A leak inside the tank or at the supply line connection is a different issue. Either way, water in the wrong place causes floor damage fast.
We identify the exact leak source, replace seals or the wax ring as needed, and test before leaving.
Clogged Toilet
Won't Flush, or Flushes Slowly
Most clogs happen near the trap, but some go deeper into the drain line. If plunging hasn't worked, you likely have a blockage that needs professional clearing — especially if multiple fixtures are draining slowly at the same time.
We clear the clog and check whether the issue points to a deeper drain or sewer line problem.
Weak Flush
Doesn't Flush the Way It Should
Partial flushes or water that barely moves usually point to a clogged rim, low tank water level, or a worn flapper that's releasing water too quickly. In older toilets, mineral buildup around the jet holes is a common culprit in South Jersey's hard water areas.
We clean the rim jets, adjust tank levels, or replace internal components to restore a strong flush.
Stop Waiting
5 Signs It's Time to Call a Plumber
Some toilet problems are easy DIY fixes. These are the ones that aren't — and waiting only makes them worse.
01
The clog won't clear after plunging and snaking — it's likely deeper in the drain or sewer line.
02
Water is pooling around the base after flushing — the wax seal or floor bolts have failed.
03
Your toilet needs repairs every few months — age and wear have made it unreliable.
04
You can see cracks in the tank or bowl — a cracked toilet will eventually fail completely.
05
Multiple fixtures are backing up at the same time — you likely have a main drain issue.

Common Questions
Toilet Repair FAQ
Cost depends on the issue. A flapper or fill valve swap is typically quick and inexpensive — repair visits include a standard service call to diagnose the issue. If a full toilet installation makes more sense, we'll give you a free estimate before that work begins — no surprises on the invoice.
If the toilet is less than 10–15 years old and the issue is isolated (a worn flapper, a loose bolt), repair makes sense. If it's older, requires frequent fixes, uses 3+ gallons per flush, or has a cracked tank or bowl, replacement is usually the better investment. We'll give you an honest assessment — we're not going to push a replacement if a repair does the job.
In most cases, yes. We prioritize same-day service for toilet repairs because we understand it's not a problem you can just ignore. Call us in the morning and we'll do our best to be there that day.
No — a toilet that clogs repeatedly is telling you something. It could be a low-flow toilet that's under-powered for your usage, a partial blockage further down the drain line, or a buildup issue in the trap. If you're plunging more than once a month, it's time for a professional look.
The most obvious signs are water on the floor and a toilet that keeps running after you flush. For a silent tank leak, add a few drops of food coloring to the tank — if color appears in the bowl without flushing, the flapper is leaking. A spike in your water bill is another common indicator of a slow but persistent leak.
Either works. We can supply and install a toilet that fits your bathroom's rough-in measurement and your budget — we'll discuss options when we give you a quote. Or if you've already purchased one, we're happy to install it. We'll haul away the old toilet either way.
