Toilet Repair & Installation reviews from Hillsborough
Our main line backed up into the downstairs shower on a Saturday. They cleared it, then put a camera down and showed me the roots coming in at a joint about thirty feet out. No pressure to do the repair that day, just the footage and a quote. Booked it for the following week.
Tanya R.Hillsborough, NCWhole house repipe. Four days, minimal mess, and they patched every opening they cut. Water pressure is better than it has been since we bought the place.
Nadia F.Hillsborough, NCSewage 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.Hillsborough, NCToilet Repair & Installation in Hillsborough: 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 Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough toilet replacement we do.
