(253) 378-0055A Running or Leaking Toilet Costs More Than It Looks
A toilet that runs continuously can waste 200 gallons of water or more per day — often without the homeowner noticing until the water bill arrives. The usual culprit is a worn flapper valve, a misadjusted fill valve, or a cracked flush valve seat that no longer seals.
A toilet leaking at the base is a different and more serious problem — it usually means the wax ring seal between the toilet and the drain flange has failed. Left unaddressed, this allows water (and sewage) to seep into the subfloor, which leads to rot, mold, and a far more expensive repair than the toilet itself.
Kent homes with original 1970s-through-1990s toilets often use 3.5 to 5 gallons per flush, compared to today's 1.28-gallon high-efficiency models — an upgrade that pays for itself in water savings within a few years for an active household.
Repair When It Makes Sense, Replace When It Doesn't
We diagnose the specific failure — flapper, fill valve, flush valve, wax ring seal, cracked tank or bowl, or a clogged trap — before recommending anything. Most running-toilet and minor leak issues are resolved with a straightforward internal parts repair.
When the toilet is old, cracked, or the wax ring seal keeps failing due to a settled or damaged flange, we recommend and install a full replacement. We carry standard and high-efficiency toilets and can match your existing rough-in and bolt pattern so installation is clean and level.

Toilet Service in Kent, WA
Many Kent homes built before the mid-1990s still have original high-flow toilets using 3.5 to 5 gallons per flush. Washington State's plumbing code has required 1.6-gallon or lower toilets since 1994, so any pre-1994 toilet is both inefficient and often near end of life on internal components.
We carry WaterSense-certified high-efficiency toilets that meet current Washington State code and can reduce a household's toilet water use by more than half compared to older fixtures.
Service Coverage
We provide toilet services throughout Kent and the surrounding South King County area.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is almost always a worn flapper that no longer seals the flush valve, or a fill valve that isn't shutting off at the correct water level. Both are inexpensive, quick repairs.
If you see water pooling around the base of the toilet, especially after flushing, the wax ring seal has likely failed. This requires removing the toilet, inspecting the flange, and installing a fresh seal.
If the toilet is over 15 years old, uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush, or has recurring internal part failures, replacement is usually more cost-effective long term than continued repairs.
Yes. We measure your existing rough-in (typically 10, 12, or 14 inches) before ordering a replacement toilet to ensure proper fit.
A standard toilet replacement typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, including removal of the old unit, flange inspection, and installation of the new toilet.
