Nobody thinks about their toilet—until it stops working. While it seems a simple enough device, several components in every toilet must work in harmony to get the job done.
That’s why it makes sense to trust the professional at Apollo Plumbing when a toilet gives you problems. Toilet Installation and repair is our specialty!
Toilet Repair or Toilet Replacement?
A clean, screened, trained, and timely Apollo Plumber starts by first assessing how well your toilet’s components are working together. Many times simply replacing or adjusting a part or two can get this most trusted seat back to doing what it was mean to do.
On the other hand, it may be a better move to consider toilet replacement. That’s because an old one can nickel and dime you with repeated needs for repair. Fact is, toilets have a useful lifespan. When should you consider replacing your toilet?
- It doesn’t flush completely
- It runs constantly—or sounds that way
- It leaks at the base
- It’s loose to the floor
While advances in toilet design and function may not seem obvious to you, chances are a new one will work better and probably save you money. Newer units are more efficient, offer more height, and shape options. There are even ones that remember to put the seat down all by themselves. Talk about advanced technology.

FAQ About Toilet Repair and Installation
Why does my toilet keep running?
A running toilet usually means a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve, or a float that sits too high. These parts lose their seal over time. A simple adjustment or replacement often fixes the problem.
What does it mean if my toilet leaks at the base?
A leak at the base often points to a failed wax ring or a loose toilet. It can also mean the flange is damaged. The longer the leak goes on, the more floor damage it causes, so it’s something a plumber should check right away.
Why won’t my toilet flush all the way?
Weak flushes come from clogs, low water levels in the tank, worn flappers, or mineral buildup in the bowl ports. Old toilets often struggle with consistent flushing because their internal parts wear down over time.
Should I repair my toilet or replace it?
A repair works when the toilet still sits solid, flushes well, and has no major cracks or leaks. Replacement makes more sense when the toilet is old, needs frequent repairs, wastes water, or sits loose to the floor.
How long should a toilet last?
Most toilets last 15–25 years, but the internal parts wear out sooner. If repairs become common or the toilet shows signs of age, replacing it can save money and water.
What causes a toilet to wobble or feel loose?
A loose toilet may come from worn bolts, a cracked flange, or a wax ring that no longer seals. A wobbling toilet should be fixed quickly to avoid leaks and floor damage.
