Frequently Asked Questions
How much water does a running toilet waste?
A running toilet wastes 200+ gallons of water per day. At Austin Water utility rates, that adds $30–$60 per month to your bill. Most running toilet repairs involve replacing the flapper or fill valve — a job that takes under an hour.
Can I replace a toilet flapper myself?
Yes. Flapper replacement is a DIY-able task — turn off the water supply, flush to empty the tank, remove the old flapper, install the new one. If the toilet continues running after flapper replacement, the fill valve or flush valve seat may need attention — that's when to call a plumber.
What does a rocking toilet mean?
A toilet that rocks when you sit on it has a failed wax ring — the seal between the toilet base and the floor drain. Every flush leaks water at the base, which damages the subfloor over time. This needs repair before the floor damage becomes significant.
When should I replace a toilet instead of repairing it?
Repair makes sense for flapper, fill valve, or handle issues. Replacement makes sense for a cracked tank or bowl, a toilet that rocks combined with floor damage, or a toilet over 20 years old with multiple issues. We give you an honest recommendation after diagnosing the problem.

"Kitchen drain was completely blocked. They came out, diagnosed it as a grease buildup 20 feet down the line, and cleared it the same day. Explained exactly what they found. Fair price, no upsell pressure."

"Water heater stopped heating on a Thursday. They had a replacement installed by Friday afternoon. Walked me through the options without pushing the expensive unit. Exactly what you want from a plumber."
Carrie B.
Round Rock
"Noticed my water bill jumped by $40 in one month. They found a slow slab leak under the master bathroom. The detection process was thorough — moisture meter, pressure test, the whole thing. Leak fixed, bill back to normal."
