A malfunctioning toilet is more than just an inconvenience—it's a plumbing emergency that needs immediate attention. River City Plumbing provides complete toilet repair and replacement services throughout Jacksonville, from simple flapper replacements to full toilet installations.
 

Running Toilet Repair

Is your toilet constantly running, even when no one's using it? A running toilet can waste 200+ gallons of water per day, significantly increasing your water bill. This is one of the most common toilet problems we fix in Jacksonville homes.
 

What Causes a Running Toilet:

• Worn-out flapper – The rubber flapper seal deteriorates over time, allowing water to leak from tank to bowl

• Faulty fill valve – The valve doesn't shut off properly, causing continuous water flow

• Incorrect float height – Water level set too high causes overflow into the overflow tube

• Chain problems – Flapper chain too short or tangled, preventing proper seal

• Cracked overflow tube – Damaged overflow tube causes constant running
   

We diagnose running toilet problems quickly and make the necessary repairs, usually in under an hour. Most repairs involve replacing worn-out internal components—flappers, fill valves, flush valves, or handles. These are affordable fixes that immediately stop water waste and reduce your water bill.
 

Toilet Clog Repair

Frequent toilet clogs are frustrating and unsanitary. While occasional clogs are normal, if your toilet clogs regularly, there's likely an underlying problem that needs professional attention.
 

Common Causes of Frequent Toilet Clogs:

• Partial drain line blockage – Buildup in the drain line restricts water flow

• Low-flow toilet issues – Older low-flow models (1.6 GPF) don't flush effectively

• Venting problems – Improper venting creates air pressure issues

• Foreign objects – Items flushed that shouldn't be (wipes, feminine products, toys)

• Mineral buildup – Hard water deposits narrow the drain passage (common in Jacksonville)
   

Our plumbers use professional-grade augers and drain cameras to locate and clear stubborn clogs. If your toilet is old and constantly clogs despite our best efforts, we'll recommend replacement with a modern, high-efficiency model that flushes better while using less water.
