Common Toilet Repairs We Handle
There’s nothing worse than coming home from a fun day exploring El Cajon’s local parks, trails, or attractions to find your toilet overflowing or leaking water all over your home. Whether it’s a broken component, stubborn clog, or faulty installation, our expert plumbers can quickly diagnose and repair your toilet troubles. Discover some of the most common problems we fix below.
Leaking or constantly running toilets
If your toilet sounds like it’s constantly running or you notice water pooling around the base, there’s likely a faulty flapper, cracked seal, or valve issue that requires repair. Our plumbers will assess your toilet to find the underlying cause and find a quick solution that stops the leak, prevents water damage, and keeps your utility bills from rising.
Clogs and blockages
Debris buildup, hard water, and tree root invasion can cause clogs or blockages that prevent your toilet from flushing properly, leading to slow drainage and potential backups. Our experts use professional clogged toilet repair techniques like drain snaking and hydrojetting to clear stubborn blockages and prevent them from recurring.
Loose, wobbly, or rocking toilets
If you sit down on your toilet and find it rocking or wobbling side to side, there may be a loose bolt, a damaged flange, or an uneven surface causing it to shift. Without repair, these wobbles can lead to leaks, flooring damage, and even more costly issues over time. You can count on our specialists to quickly diagnose the problem and secure your toilet in place for lasting stability.

When should you replace your toilet?
Most toilets last between 15 and 30 years before showing signs that they’re due for an upgrade, such as:
- Visible cracks or corrosion: While small cracks or rust on the porcelain may not be initially concerning, they can eventually lead to leaks and extensive water damage.
- Frequent leaks: Worn-out seals, internal damage, and component failure can cause your toilet to leak constantly, making full replacement necessary.
- Recurring clogs: If your toilet clogs keep coming back, there’s likely mineral buildup or outdated components that can’t keep up.
- Costly repairs: When repair bills start to add up, it may make more sense to invest in a new, reliable toilet than to continue fixing your old one.
- Constant running: If your toilet won’t stop running, it’s often a sign that the components are wearing out and require replacement.
