Toilet Service

Toilet repair & flat-rate replacement across Fond du Lac.

Running toilets, leaks, wobbling fixtures, weak flushes, or a full install — we handle it with flat-rate pricing on most jobs, clean workmanship, and no surprise charges at the end.

Most toilet problems are simpler than you think.

The good news about toilets: most of what goes wrong is fixable in under an hour. The bad news: ignoring small issues turns into water on the floor, ruined subfloors, and a much bigger bill. Catch it early.

What we fix and replace

  • Running toilets — usually a flapper, fill valve, or chain issue. Quick and cheap.
  • Leaking toilets — at the base, the supply line, or the tank-to-bowl gasket
  • Weak or incomplete flushes — could be the fill level, the flush valve, or a clog
  • Wobbling or rocking toilets — usually a bad wax ring or rotted closet flange. Fix it before it leaks into your floor.
  • Toilet replacement — flat-rate install on most standard models, including hauling the old one away
  • Upgrade installs — comfort-height, dual-flush, or low-flow models
DIY Warning

Don't pull a stuck shower cartridge yourself.

This is the most expensive DIY mistake we see. People try to swap a leaky shower cartridge, it won't come out cleanly, they damage the cartridge, and now they have to shut off water to the entire house. It's usually a Saturday. The emergency-call cost dwarfs what a planned repair would have been. Same advice applies to anything where one wrong move means killing water to your whole home — call us first.

When to repair vs. replace.

If your toilet is under 10 years old and it's a single component (flapper, fill valve, supply line), repair it. Those parts are cheap and the toilet has plenty of life left. If it's older, leaking at the base, or you're tired of constantly fixing things on it — replace it. Modern toilets use less water, flush better, and run reliably for 15+ years.

Common Toilet Problems

The six toilet calls we get most often.

These cover most of what we see in homes around Fond du Lac. If your problem isn't on the list, send us a quick text — we'll tell you straight.

SIGN 01

Won't Stop Running

Almost always the flapper or the fill valve.

SIGN 02

Water at the Base

Usually a failed wax ring. Don't ignore — this rots subfloors fast and turns into a major repair.

SIGN 03

Wobbles or Rocks

Bad wax seal or a loose closet flange. Fix before it leaks into the floor and damages the joists below.

SIGN 04

Weak Flush

Could be the fill level, the flush valve, mineral buildup in the jets, or a partial clog. We diagnose first.

SIGN 05

Phantom Flushes

Toilet refills randomly when no one's used it. Always a flapper that's not sealing. Easy fix.

SIGN 06

Constantly Clogging

On modern toilets, this often means the trapway is undersized or the unit is just old. A replacement may be the cure.

How We Work

What a Remedy toilet job looks like.

New toilet installation
Flat-Rate Install

New toilet, installed clean.

Standard toilet replacement is flat-rate. We pull the old unit, replace the wax ring, install the new toilet, hook up the supply, test the flush, and haul the old one away. We keep the area clean the whole time.

Most installs take about an hour.

Common Questions

Toilet questions, answered straight.

Standard flat-rate installs cover most common toilet swaps — we quote the exact number when you call or text us with the details. Pricing includes pulling the old unit, replacing the wax ring, installing the new toilet, and hauling the old one away.

If it's under 10 years old and a single component is failing, yes — repair makes sense. If it's pre-1994 (so likely a 3.5+ gallon-per-flush model) or constantly needs work, replacement is usually the better long-term call. Modern toilets use less water, flush more reliably, and last longer.

Yes — fast. A slow leak at the base wicks under the toilet and into the subfloor. By the time you notice the soft spot, you're looking at subfloor replacement on top of the toilet repair. If you see any water at the base of a toilet, call us.

Yes — we install all of it. If you've already purchased the unit, send us a photo and we'll quote the install. If you're still shopping, we're happy to recommend models that work well for your home.

It's the seal between the toilet and the drain pipe in your floor. Wax rings dry out over time, and once they fail, water and sewer gas leak around the base. Replacing one is cheap when caught early. Letting it leak into your subfloor is expensive.
