Toilet repair and replacement in Sacramento, CA

What toilet repair covers

Toilets are simple machines, and most problems come down to a few parts: the flapper that seals the tank, the fill valve that refills it, the wax ring that seals the base to the drain, and the flange that holds it all to the floor. We carry those parts and fix most toilets on the first visit.

When a toilet is cracked, an old high-volume model, or clogs constantly because of its design, replacement is the better value. We remove the old toilet, check the flange and the drain, set the new one level and sealed, and haul the old one away.

Toilet Repair in Sacramento: what we see locally

California only allows high-efficiency toilets to be sold new, at 1.28 gallons per flush or less. If your toilet is an older 3.5 or 5 gallon model, a replacement can noticeably cut your water bill now that Sacramento bills by meter.

In 1950s and 1960s homes across Arden-Arcade, Carmichael and North Highlands, we often find corroded cast iron flanges under the original toilets. We repair those with flange kits or replace them, so the new toilet sits on a solid base.

What you can safely do before we arrive

1. Close the stop valve behind the toilet.
2. Stop using the toilet if water appears at the base.
3. Remove rugs and items from around the toilet.
