A broken toilet is one of those problems that hits you at the worst possible moment. Maybe it's running constantly, wasting water and money. Maybe it won't flush properly, or water's leaking around the base. Whatever's happening, you need it fixed, and you need it fixed now.
The good news is that most toilet problems are straightforward to repair. You don't need to replace the entire toilet in most cases. Our plumbers in Denver handle all kinds of toilet issues quickly and without the hassle of replacement when repair is the better option.
From running toilets that waste hundreds of gallons monthly to clogs that won't clear, we've seen and fixed it all. We understand how frustrating these situations are, which is why we prioritize fast response times and permanent solutions.
Understanding the root cause helps explain why your toilet's acting up and what we need to do to fix it.
Inside your toilet tank, there are moving parts that wear down over time. The flapper is a rubber seal that lets water flow into the bowl. When it gets old, brittle, or mineral deposits build up on it, water keeps running even after the tank is full. The fill valve controls water entering the tank. If it malfunctions, you get a running toilet that just won't stop. Both parts wear out eventually, and that's normal. We replace them with quality components that'll last years.
Sometimes the problem isn't inside the toilet tank but in the drain line itself. Clogs from excessive toilet paper, hair, or other debris prevent water from draining. The toilet backs up, drains slowly, or won't drain at all. In Denver homes, we also deal with tree root intrusion in older pipe systems. Our plumbers use proper diagnostic tools to identify exactly where the blockage is, then clear it effectively without damaging your pipes.
Cracks in the porcelain bowl or tank lead to steady water leaks. Sometimes you notice water pooling at the base of the toilet. Other times the leak happens inside the tank itself, and you only notice when water keeps running into the bowl. Leaks can cause significant water damage to subfloors and structural materials if left alone. If the crack is small and the toilet is otherwise solid, repair is possible. If damage is extensive, replacement is more cost-effective and reliable.
Your toilet sits on a wax ring that creates a watertight seal between the toilet and the floor drain. Over time, this wax can harden, crack, or deteriorate, allowing water to leak underneath. This is a common issue in Denver homes that are older or have had recent plumbing work. You might notice soft spots in the floor, bad odors, or water damage. Replacing the wax ring involves removing the toilet, installing a fresh seal, and resetting it properly so it sits flush and level.
Our technicians follow a clear process to diagnose and fix the problem right.
We arrive on time and start by observing how the toilet's actually behaving. Is it running? Is the flush weak? Is water leaking? We'll ask about how long this has been happening and whether you've noticed any changes. Then we inspect the inside of the tank, check the flapper and fill valve, and make sure everything is functioning as it should. We look at the bowl for cracks and examine the base for any signs of leaking.
We perform tests to isolate the exact problem. If the toilet's running, we might listen for the fill valve or flapper to pinpoint the issue. If there's a drain problem, we check water movement and may use a plumbing snake to feel for blockages. If there's a leak, we trace its source. We explain what we find in plain language so you understand what's wrong and why we need to fix it a certain way.
Based on our findings, we proceed with the fix. This might mean replacing the flapper kit, replacing the fill valve, clearing the drain line, replacing the wax ring and resetting the toilet, or patching a crack if it's minor. We use quality parts that come with proper warranties. If we recommend replacement instead of repair, we explain why and give you the option to proceed or seek a second opinion.
Once we've made the repair, we run multiple flush cycles to confirm everything works properly. We check that the fill valve stops when the tank is full, that the flapper holds water and releases it completely, and that there are no new leaks. We clean up our work area and show you what we've done. If you have questions, we answer them before we leave.

The cost varies depending on what's actually wrong with your toilet. A simple flapper or fill valve replacement runs less than replacing a wax ring or dealing with a cracked bowl. We can give you an estimate once we've diagnosed the problem. Most toilet repairs fall in the moderate range and are far less expensive than full toilet replacement.
If the toilet is relatively new and the problem is an internal component like the flapper or fill valve, repair is almost always the right choice. If the toilet is very old (15+ years), has a cracked bowl, or multiple problems, replacement might be more economical long-term. We'll advise based on the specific situation and your preferences.
A running toilet is almost always the flapper or fill valve. The flapper might be stuck or worn out, or the fill valve isn't shutting off when the tank reaches full capacity. Both are fixable quickly. The problem wastes water and increases your water bill, so getting it repaired soon is worth the effort.
Yes. If your toilet has weak flushing or constant clogs, the issue might be in the bowl's trap or further down your drain line. We diagnose and clear clogs. If it's a consistent problem that keeps recurring, we investigate to see if there's a bigger blockage in your system. Our drain cleaning service can address persistent issues.
Leaking from underneath the toilet usually means the wax ring seal has failed or there's a crack in the bowl. You need this addressed promptly because water damage happens quickly. We'll remove the toilet, replace the wax ring, and reset the toilet properly. If there's a crack, we can usually determine if repair or replacement is better.
