Common Problems

Common Toilet Problems We Fix

Toilet keeps running

A flapper or fill valve that won't shut off. Wastes hundreds of gallons a day and adds to your water bill. Usually a quick fix.

Weak or incomplete flush

Low water in the tank, clogged rim jets or a partial clog in the drain.

Toilet won't stop flushing (phantom flush)

A worn flapper lets water slowly drain out of the tank, and the fill valve kicks on to refill it. Sounds like a flush every hour or so.

Leaking at the base

The wax ring seal between the toilet and the floor flange has failed. You might see water around the base or smell sewer gas.

Toilet rocks or wobbles

Loose mounting bolts or a deteriorated floor flange. Can lead to a failed wax ring and water damage if ignored.

Cracks in tank or bowl

A hairline crack can cause a slow leak that damages the floor over time. If the toilet is cracked, replacement is usually the right answer.

Toilet clogs frequently

A partial clog in the drain trap or a problem with the main drain line. If it keeps coming back, see below.

Handle is loose or broken

The flush handle, chain or trip lever has worn out. A simple repair.

Water on the floor around the base

Can be a wax ring failure, a crack, or condensation from a cold tank in humid weather.

Toilet overflowing

A clogged drain that needs to be cleared. If the water is still rising, see below for what to do right now.

Toilet overflowing right now? Take the lid off the tank and push the flapper down to stop more water entering the bowl. Then turn the shut-off valve behind the toilet clockwise until it stops. If the water doesn't stop, turn off the main water supply. For serious backups see our emergency plumber in Tigard page.

New Installation

Toilet Installation in Tigard

Whether you're replacing a broken toilet, upgrading to a water efficient model or adding a bathroom, we handle the full installation.

Standard replacement

Remove the old toilet and install the new one. We check the flange, set a new wax ring, make sure everything is level and test for leaks.

Flange repair or replacement

A broken or rusted floor flange needs to be repaired before the new toilet goes in or the wax ring won't seal.

Water efficient models

High efficiency toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush vs the 3.5 or more gallons that older Tigard toilets use. We supply and install them.

New rough-in

Adding a bathroom or moving the toilet? We rough in the new drain and supply line location as part of the project.

Toilet rocks or the flange is damagedRepair first, then evaluate if the toilet is worth keeping

Multiple Toilets

More Than One Toilet Won't Flush?

One toilet clogged is a toilet problem. Two or more at the same time almost always means the main drain line is blocked or backing up. Don't keep plunging. Call us — it's a sewer or drain line problem, not a toilet problem.

Drains draining slowly throughout the house

Sinks, tubs and toilets all running slow usually points to the main sewer line getting full.

Sewage coming up in tubs or floor drains

That's a main line backup. Stop using all water and call right away. See our emergency plumbing page for what to do.

Just the toilets drain slow

Could be a partial main line clog or a venting issue. Our drain cleaning service clears the clog and a camera inspection shows if there's more going on.

One toilet always clogs

If the same toilet clogs over and over while others don't, it may have a partial clog in the trap or the line from that toilet.

Local Knowledge

Toilets in Tigard: What to Know

A running toilet can add $100+ to your water bill

Tigard Water (which serves most of Tigard) does offer leak adjustment credits, but only if you fix the leak. Get it repaired, save the invoice and contact Tigard Water to request an adjustment for the billing period when the leak was running.

Free dye tablets: Tigard Water gives out free dye tablets to check if your toilet flapper is leaking silently. Put one in the tank and don't flush. If color shows up in the bowl in 15 minutes, the flapper needs to be replaced. See our leak detection and repair page for more on water waste and bill credits.

Older Tigard homes with crawl spaces

Many Tigard homes built in the 1970s and 1980s have crawl spaces under the bathroom floor. A toilet that leaks at the base for a long time can rot the subfloor without being obvious from above. We check the floor around the base when we reseat a toilet.

High water use toilets cost money

If your home has toilets that use 3.5 gallons per flush or more — common in homes built before 1994 — replacing them with 1.28 gpf models can cut toilet water use by more than half. Over a year with a family of four, the savings can be real.

Common Questions

Toilet Questions

Most toilet repairs run $100 to $350. A running toilet is usually $100–$200. A wax ring replacement is $175–$350. You get the exact price before we start.
A toilet that keeps running is almost always a worn flapper or a fill valve that won't shut off. Both are quick repairs.
The most common cause is a failed wax ring between the toilet and the floor flange. We remove the toilet, install a new wax ring and reseat it.
Repair if it's a single mechanical issue and the toilet is in good shape. Replace if it's cracked, very old and keeps failing, or using 3.5+ gallons per flush.
Frequent single toilet clogs are usually a partial drain clog. If multiple toilets or drains are backing up, the main sewer line may be the problem.
Yes. Tigard Water offers leak adjustment credits. Get the leak repaired, save the invoice and contact them to request an adjustment for the billing period when the leak was running.
Put food coloring or a dye tablet in the tank. Don't flush. If color appears in the bowl in 10–15 minutes, your flapper is leaking silently. Tigard Water hands out free dye tablets.
A standard replacement takes about an hour. If the flange needs repair, add another 30–60 minutes.
Either works. You can pick out the model you want and we install it, or we can supply a quality toilet and include it in the price.
Replacing a toilet in the same location does not usually require a permit. Moving the toilet or adding a new bathroom does. We'll tell you when a permit is needed.
