Toilet Repair & Installation reviews from Winston-Salem
Third 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.Winston-Salem, NCCalled about a running toilet and mentioned the slow tub while they were there. Both fixed in one visit, one invoice, no second trip fee. Small thing but it saved me a whole afternoon.
Danielle S.Winston-Salem, NCWe run a small restaurant and the kitchen line backed up during dinner service. They came out after we closed, jetted the whole run, and had us open on time the next morning. Now on a quarterly schedule with them.
Hector M.Winston-Salem, NCToilet Repair & Installation in Winston-Salem: 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 Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem toilet replacement we do.
