Can you repair the toilet wax ring?

Yes. A failing wax ring (the seal between the toilet base and the floor flange) causes water to seep around the toilet base during flushing. We pull the toilet, replace the wax ring and inspect the flange, and reset the toilet — a 2-3 hour job.

How much does toilet repair cost in Portland?

Most toilet repairs run $120–$250 depending on which components need replacing. A simple flapper swap is on the low end; replacing the fill valve and flapper assembly is mid-range; wax ring and flange repair is higher. Flat-rate quoted on diagnosis.

When should I replace instead of repair a toilet?

Replace if: the toilet is cracked (tank or bowl), it uses 3.5+ gallons per flush (pre-1994 model), it has persistent slow flushing despite repair attempts, or repair costs approach the cost of a new low-flow toilet ($300–$600 installed).

Q: Why is my toilet running constantly?

The most common cause is a worn flapper that doesn't seat properly — allowing tank water to leak into the bowl continuously. Other causes: a defective fill valve that doesn't shut off, a float set too high (water runs into the overflow tube), or a waterlogged float ball. A running toilet wastes 200+ gallons per day.
