Toilet Repair & Installation reviews from Chapel Hill
Sewage smell in the crawlspace turned out to be a cracked cast iron section. They showed me on camera, explained what would happen if we left it, and gave me three options with prices. No scare tactics.
Robert A.Chapel Hill, NCThird plumber we tried and the first one who actually found the leak. Used listening equipment, marked a spot on the floor, cut one small opening, and there it was. Everyone else wanted to start opening walls.
Priya N.Chapel Hill, NCWoke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling. Called at 5am and had someone at the house before 7. He found the split line, showed me the failed fitting, and had it repaired and pressure tested by mid-morning. The price he quoted at the start is what I paid.
Marcus D.Chapel Hill, NCToilet Repair & Installation in Chapel Hill: common questions
Why does my toilet keep running?
Nine times out of ten it is a worn flapper or a fill valve that no longer shuts off cleanly. A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day, so a $185 repair in Chapel Hill usually pays for itself quickly.
My toilet overflows when the washing machine drains. Why?
That is a main line problem, not a toilet problem. The toilet is simply the lowest opening in the Chapel Hill house, so a blocked main pushes water back up through it.
Should I repair or replace the toilet?
Internal parts are cheap and worth replacing. A cracked tank, a cracked bowl, or a low-flow model from the 1990s that never flushed properly is worth replacing outright.
Why does my toilet rock?
Either the flange sits below finished floor level or the closet bolts have pulled loose. Shimming alone hides it; we fix the flange so the seal stops breaking.
Do you take the old toilet away?
Yes, removal and disposal is included in every Chapel Hill toilet replacement we do.
