Toilet Repair and Installation
Toilets: What’s the big deal?
Your toilet is one of the most essential plumbing fixtures in your home or business. It’s used multiple times a day and expected to work reliably every time. When a toilet malfunctions—whether it’s constantly running, leaking, clogging, or not flushing properly—it can waste water, increase utility bills, and quickly disrupt daily life.
Because toilets rely on several components working together, even a small failure can affect the entire system. Professional repair and proper installation are key to long-term performance and efficiency.
That being said, let’s start with the basics..
Why hire MPG Plumbing for toilet service?
Unlike companies that only replace toilets, MPG Plumbing can inspect, diagnose, repair, and install toilets of all types and brands. Our licensed plumbers understand how every component works together and can determine whether a repair is sufficient or if replacement is the better option.
From minor adjustments to complete toilet installations, we handle everything in-house—so you work with one trusted team from start to finish.
What are the components of a functioning toilet?
A properly working toilet depends on several key components, including:
Toilet bowl – Holds water and directs waste into the drain
Toilet tank – Stores water for flushing
Fill valve – Refills the tank after each flush
Flush valve – Releases water from the tank into the bowl
Flapper or seal – Controls water flow during flushing
Overflow tube – Prevents tank overflow
Trip lever/handle – Activates the flush mechanism
Supply line – Delivers water from the home’s plumbing system
Shut-off valve – Allows water to be turned off for service
Wax ring or sealing gasket – Creates a watertight seal between the toilet and drain flange
Closet flange – Connects the toilet to the drain pipe and anchors it to the floor
When any of these components fail or are improperly installed, the toilet may leak, run continuously, clog frequently, or fail altogether.
What causes toilet problems?
Toilet issues commonly result from:
Worn or damaged flappers and seals
Failing fill or flush valves
Loose or corroded supply lines
Cracked tanks or bowls
Improper installation or shifting
Mineral buildup from hard water
Aging components
Over time, normal wear and tear can reduce efficiency and reliability—especially in high-use bathrooms.
What is toilet service and how does it help?
Toilet service may include:
Replacing flappers, valves, and seals
Repairing leaks and supply connections
Clearing clogs and improving flush performance
Re-seating toilets and replacing wax rings
Installing new toilets and upgrading to high-efficiency models
Ensuring proper alignment, sealing, and code compliance
Professional service ensures your toilet operates efficiently, safely, and reliably.
What happens if toilet issues are ignored?
Ignoring toilet problems can lead to:
Ongoing water waste and higher bills
Damage to flooring or subflooring
Mold or mildew growth
Structural damage
Emergency repairs or replacements
Small toilet issues rarely fix themselves and usually get worse over time.
How do I know if my toilet has a problem?
Common warning signs include:
Constantly running toilet
Weak or incomplete flush
Water leaking at the base
Frequent clogs or slow flushing
Toilet rocking or moving
Unusual noises after flushing
Rising water bills
Addressing these issues early can prevent water damage and costly repairs.
