A running toilet can waste water and increase utility bills, but fixing it is often straightforward.
The most common cause is a leaking flapper or issues with the fill valve, which wear out over
time due to regular use and age. Here’s how GPS Plumbing can help:
Fixing a Running Toilet
- Test for Leaks: Use dye tablets or food coloring to check for leaks.
- Replace the Flapper: Shut off the water, remove the old flapper, and install a new one.
- Replace the Fill Valve: Drain the tank, remove the old valve, and install and adjust the
new one.
Rebuilding Your Toilet
At GPS Plumbing, our comprehensive toilet rebuild service includes:

When to Consider a Rebuild
Toilets generally need a rebuild every 6 to 10 years, depending on the manufacturer and
regular use. If you notice your toilet running constantly or filling randomly, it’s time to consider
a rebuild to avoid wasting water and prevent more significant issues.
