A toilet that runs continuously is one of the most water-wasteful plumbing problems a Gurnee homeowner can have. A single running toilet can waste 200 gallons of water per day — which adds up to 6,000 gallons monthly and a significantly inflated water bill. The most common cause is a worn or warped flapper — the rubber seal at the bottom of the tank — that no longer creates a watertight seal. We also repair and replace fill valves (ballcocks), float arms, and flush valves. In most cases, a running toilet can be fixed in 30–60 minutes for a modest cost.
Poor flush performance can result from a clogged toilet, a low water level in the tank, a worn or bent flapper that closes too quickly, clogged rim jets (the small holes under the rim that direct water into the bowl during flushing), or a partially clogged drain. We diagnose the specific cause and repair it correctly. Rim jet cleaning is often overlooked but can dramatically improve flush performance, especially in hard water areas like Lake County where mineral deposits accumulate in the jets.
Toilet clogs range from simple blockages cleared with a plunger to deep blockages in the toilet trap or drain line that require a plumbing auger (toilet snake). If your toilet is backing up despite plunging, or if the clog has returned multiple times, the issue may be further down the drain line — possibly even in the main sewer line. We diagnose toilet clogs thoroughly and use the right tool to clear them completely rather than just pushing the clog deeper.
Water pooling at the base of your toilet after flushing is a sign that the wax ring seal between the toilet and the floor flange has failed. This allows sewage-contaminated water to escape at the base during flushing. A failed wax ring should be repaired promptly — standing sewage water can damage subfloor materials and create mold. We pull the toilet, replace the wax ring (and floor bolts if corroded), reset the toilet, and caulk the base properly.
A toilet that rocks or feels loose is usually caused by corroded or loose floor bolts. Left unaddressed, a rocking toilet will eventually break the wax ring seal, causing a leak at the base. We tighten or replace floor bolts and re-stabilize rocking toilets quickly.
A cracked porcelain tank or bowl cannot be repaired — the entire toilet needs replacement. We carry a selection of quality replacement toilets including water-efficient 1.28 GPF models and comfort-height styles that are particularly popular with Gurnee homeowners upgrading an older bathroom.
We handle toilet repairs and replacements throughout Gurnee (60031) and surrounding communities: Waukegan, Libertyville, Round Lake Beach, North Chicago, Zion, and Beach Park. Our plumbers are respectful of your home — they wear shoe covers in the bathroom and clean up before leaving.
