Toilets in Madison, WI
Running, wobbly, and weak-flushing toilets repaired — and full replacements seated level and bolted solid so the bowl doesn't move.
A toilet that runs all night wastes water quietly, and a toilet that wobbles every time you sit down is telling you something beneath the bowl isn't right. Most running toilets come down to a worn flapper or a misadjusted fill valve — small parts we replace so the tank fills and stops cleanly. A wobble usually points to a loose flange, corroded bolts, or a softened floor, and we fix what's underneath before re-seating the bowl.
When it's time for a new toilet, we remove the old one, replace the wax ring, set the new bowl and tank level, and bolt it down so it sits solid. We also handle weak flushes — often mineral buildup in the rim holes or a low tank level — so the flush gets its full force back.

How a Toilet Repair or Replacement Proceeds
Describe the symptom
A note on whether the toilet runs, wobbles, flushes weakly, or needs replacing is usually enough for an initial estimate by phone or email.
Identify the cause
We figure out whether it's a flapper, a fill valve, mineral buildup, or a loose flange so we fix the real cause.
Shut off and protect
The supply valve is turned off and the floor around the toilet is protected before any disassembly.
Repair or replace
Worn internals are swapped, the rim jets are cleared, or the old toilet comes out and the new one is set level with a fresh wax ring.
Test and clean up
We flush, check the base and supply line for leaks, and leave the bathroom clean.
What Madison-Area Homeowners Should Know About Toilets
A running toilet is usually a $2 part. The flapper is the most common cause of a running toilet, and replacing it stops the silent waste long before the whole fixture needs attention.
Don't ignore a wobble. A wobbly toilet works the wax seal loose over time, and a leaking seal rots the subfloor beneath. Re-seating it early prevents the bigger floor repair.
Hard water clogs the jets. Dane County's water leaves mineral buildup in the rim holes, which weakens the flush. Clearing those jets restores full force without replacing the toilet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix a toilet that keeps running?+
Yes. A running toilet is usually a worn flapper, a misadjusted fill valve, or an overflow tube set too high. We replace or adjust those parts so the tank fills and stops the way it should, rather than running all night.
My toilet wobbles — is that a big problem?+
A wobble usually means the flange is loose, the bolts have corroded, or the floor beneath has softened. We re-seat the toilet securely and address the floor or flange underneath before tightening it down.
Do you replace an old toilet with a new one?+
Yes. We remove the old toilet, inspect and replace the wax ring, set the new bowl and tank level, and bolt it down so it sits solid. We clean up and test for leaks before we leave.
Why does my toilet weak-flush?+
A weak flush is often mineral buildup in the rim holes or a partially clogged trap, sometimes a low tank water level. We clear the jets and adjust the fill so the flush has its full force back.
How is toilet repair estimated?+
A note on the symptom — running, wobbly, weak flush, or a replacement — is usually enough for an initial estimate by phone or email. A photo of the toilet helps us confirm the style.
