Quick answer: The most common cause is a worn or misaligned flapper that lets water leak from the tank into the bowl, triggering the fill valve. A fill valve set too high, a faulty fill valve or a tangled chain can also cause it. A running toilet wastes a lot of water, so it is worth fixing quickly.
Toilets are simple machines, but when one part fails, it can waste a lot of water or cause real damage. A worn flapper can let water run constantly. A failing fill valve can hiss and refill on its own. A broken wax ring lets water seep under the floor every time you flush, which rots the subfloor and stains the ceiling below. Fullerton Plumbing repairs all of it, from small part replacements to resetting a toilet on a new wax ring and flange.
We also clear clogs that a plunger will not touch. If the blockage is in the toilet itself, we use a closet auger. If several fixtures are backing up, the problem is likely further down the line, and we clear the main drain. When a toilet is cracked, very old or constantly clogging, replacing it with a modern, efficient model may be the better investment. We give you an upfront quote for repair or replacement before any work starts, and we leave your bathroom clean.

How it works
Our Toilet Repair Process
Diagnose the Problem
We check the flush mechanism, fill valve, flapper, supply line and shutoff valve, then look at the base and floor for signs of leakage. For clogs, we determine whether the toilet or the drain line beyond it is blocked.
Quote the Fix
We explain what is wrong and whether a repair, a rebuild of the tank parts, a reset on a new wax ring or a replacement makes the most sense. You get an upfront quote before work begins.
Repair or Replace
We replace worn parts, clear the clog, or pull and reset the toilet with a new seal and secure flange. For replacements, we install the new toilet, connect a new supply line and make sure it sits solid.
Test and Clean
We flush several times to check fill level, flush strength and the seal at the base. We confirm there are no leaks at the supply connection or floor, then clean up the bathroom.

Toilet Problems Common in New York Homes
Older homes across New York bring their own toilet troubles. In Albany, Troy, Buffalo, Rochester and the older neighborhoods of New York City, many bathrooms sit on aging cast iron drain lines and closet flanges that corrode or crack over time, making it hard to keep a toilet sealed and solid. Old wooden subfloors can soften from years of slow leaks. Hard water in western New York and the Finger Lakes builds mineral deposits in fill valves and rim jets, weakening the flush. Frequent clogs in an older home can also point to buildup in the main line.
When a toilet is overflowing or leaking, call Fullerton at (518) 776-7838. We answer 24/7 from our Albany base and serve all of New York State. We will repair the problem, explain whether the drain line needs attention too, and give you an upfront quote before work starts, so you are not paying for anything you did not approve. We clean up the bathroom before we leave.
Pricing
What Affects the Cost of Toilet Repair
Toilet repair cost depends on what is wrong and how involved the fix is. Replacing a flapper or fill valve is a quick job. Resetting a toilet on a new wax ring is more involved, and a corroded or broken flange or soft subfloor adds work. Clogs in the toilet itself are simpler than main line blockages. If you choose replacement, the toilet model you pick affects the price. We give you an upfront quote before any work starts.

Called Fullerton for a sewer main backing up into my basement on a Sunday night and they had someone sent out within an hour. Shaquille was incredibly helpful with clearing out the line and showing us a live view of our sewer line. Shaquille even went above to help us clean out the water mess from the issue. Overall great experience and fast help!

FAQ
Toilet Repair Questions, Answered
The most common cause is a worn or misaligned flapper that lets water leak from the tank into the bowl, triggering the fill valve. A fill valve set too high, a faulty fill valve or a tangled chain can also cause it. A running toilet wastes a lot of water, so it is worth fixing quickly.
Turn the shutoff valve behind the toilet clockwise to stop the water. If you cannot reach it, lift the tank lid and push the flapper down. Do not flush again. If water is backing up from other drains too, the main line may be blocked, so call a plumber.
Usually the wax ring that seals the toilet to the drain has failed, often because the toilet rocks or the flange is damaged. Leaks can also come from a loose supply connection or a cracked bowl. Water at the base can damage the floor, so do not ignore it.
Repair makes sense for running, leaking or wobbling toilets in good condition, since most parts are inexpensive. Replacement is often better when the bowl or tank is cracked, the toilet clogs constantly, or it is an old high water use model. We will tell you which makes sense.
Call Fullerton Plumbing at (518) 776-7838. We answer 24 hours a day and dispatch the nearest available technician. We are based in Albany and serve all of New York State. You get an upfront quote before work starts and a clean bathroom when we leave.
Frequent clogs can come from a low flow toilet with a weak flush, flushing wipes or paper towels, mineral buildup in rim jets, a partial blockage in the drain line, or a venting problem. If the toilet clogs often, we check both the fixture and the line beyond it.
