Toilet Repair in Schenectady, NY

Ask any Schenectady landlord which fixture generates the most tenant calls and the toilet is near the top of the list. In older multi family buildings across Mont Pleasant, Hamilton Hill and the neighborhoods around downtown, toilets sit on floors that have flexed and settled for a century. A slight rock loosens the wax seal, and water seeps into the subfloor where nobody sees it until a stain appears on the ceiling below. Running toilets are another common complaint. A worn flapper can waste a surprising amount of water, and in a building where the owner pays the water bill, that cost adds up quietly.

We diagnose the actual cause rather than swapping parts until something works. A running toilet might need a new flapper, fill valve or flush valve. A rocking toilet usually needs the closet flange checked, and in older Schenectady homes that flange is often cast iron or lead and may be cracked or corroded. Repeated clogs can point to a problem further down the line, which we can check with a camera if needed. If the toilet itself is cracked, we will recommend a replacement and handle it. You approve the price before we start, and the bathroom is left clean.
