A toilet that runs, leaks, or clogs is more than an annoyance. Our toilet repair plumber team fixes the problem fast for Orange County homes and installs new toilets when repairs no longer make sense.
A toilet that runs nonstop can waste hundreds of gallons of water a day. You may hear it refill on its own in the middle of the night or need to jiggle the handle after every flush. These small problems add up on your water bill month after month. Many homeowners try a few store bought parts, only to hear the toilet running again a week later.
Precision Plumbing finds the exact part causing the problem instead of guessing. Our technicians check the flapper, fill valve, flush valve, and chain to see where water is escaping. We replace worn parts with quality components that fit your specific toilet model. Before we leave, we test several flushes to make sure the tank fills and shuts off properly.

Water around the base of a toilet often points to a failed seal underneath. Every flush can push a little water onto the floor, where it soaks into the subfloor and grout. A sewer smell in the bathroom is another common sign of a broken seal. Left alone, the leak can rot the floor and spread to the ceiling below in two story homes.
We pull the toilet, clean the area, and inspect the floor for soft spots or water damage. Our wax ring replacement service installs a fresh seal and new closet bolts for a tight fit. If you prefer, we can use a waxless seal, which handles small shifts better and is easier to reset. The toilet is then secured in place and checked with several test flushes.

Diagnosis starts before any tool comes out. Our plumber flushes the toilet, watches the tank cycle, and looks for signs around the bowl, base, and supply connection.
Findings get explained in plain terms, along with what each option involves. Some toilets need a single replacement part, while others have damage that changes the scope of the work.
The necessary work gets completed, followed by several full flush cycles. Our technician confirms that the tank refills correctly, the fixture stays secure.
The flange is the fitting that anchors your toilet to the drain pipe in the floor. In older homes, cast iron flanges rust and break, while plastic flanges can crack under pressure. A damaged flange lets the toilet rock, loosens the seal, and causes leaks that keep coming back. New flooring can also leave the flange too low, which makes a proper seal hard to achieve.
Our team fixes broken flanges with repair rings or replaces the fitting entirely when needed. We make sure it sits at the correct height for your finished floor and is fastened securely. This gives the toilet a solid base and lets the new seal do its job. Solving the flange problem first saves you from replacing seals over and over.
Some toilets clog far more often than they should. Older low flow models from the 1990s often struggle to clear waste in a single flush. Toys, wipes, and hygiene products can also lodge deep in the trap where a plunger cannot reach. Pushing too hard with the wrong tool can crack the porcelain or force the blockage further down.
We use a toilet auger designed to clear the trap without scratching the bowl. If the blockage is out of reach, we pull the toilet and remove the object from below. When several drains back up at once, the problem is usually beyond the toilet, and drain cleaning on the main line may be needed. We tell you what caused the clog and how to keep it from happening again.
Choosing a new toilet involves more than picking a style. Rough in size, bowl shape, and seat height all affect how well it fits your bathroom and your family. A poor install can leave the toilet uneven, leaking, or flushing weakly from day one. Many homeowners also want a model that suits a remodel or matches new fixtures.
Our team helps you choose a toilet replacement that fits your space and needs, including comfort height and dual flush models. We remove and dispose of the old toilet, then set the new one level on a fresh seal. Supply lines and shutoff valves are replaced if they show wear. If you are updating the whole bathroom, we can also handle bathroom faucet installation during the same visit.

Add a few drops of food coloring to the tank and wait 15 to 30 minutes without flushing. If color shows up in the bowl, the flapper is letting water slip through. This simple test catches leaks that make no noise but still raise your water bill.
Hard water minerals often clog the small rim holes and siphon jet that push water into the bowl. A low water level in the tank or a partial clog in the trap can also weaken the flush. Cleaning the jets or adjusting the fill level usually restores flushing power.
The porcelain bowl and tank can last for decades if they do not crack. The parts inside the tank, such as the flapper and fill valve, usually need replacing every 5 to 10 years. Hard water can wear these parts out even faster.
Toilets made before 1994 can use 3.5 gallons or more per flush. New toilets sold in California use no more than 1.28 gallons, which can cut toilet water use by more than half. Some local water agencies also offer rebates on high efficiency models.
In most cases, the toilet can be used right after installation and testing. If caulk was applied around the base, it may need about 24 hours to fully cure. Avoid rocking or leaning on the toilet during that time.
