A toilet is one of the most-used fixtures in any home, which is exactly why small problems with it get noticed fast — a running tank that won't shut off, a wobble at the base, a flush that doesn't quite clear, or water pooling around the floor. Pasco Plumbing repairs and installs toilets across Washington, handling everything from a five-dollar flapper replacement to a full new toilet installation.
We see a wide range of toilet ages and styles across the state, from older gravity-fed units in homes built decades ago to newer low-flow and dual-flush models. Whatever you have, we diagnose the actual cause of the problem rather than replacing parts by default, and we'll tell you honestly when a repair makes sense versus when the toilet itself has reached the end of its useful life.
On The Job — Toilet RepairFree Estimate: We'll assess the problem and give you a clear, upfront price before any work begins — every time, no exceptions.
Signs You Need Toilet Repair & Installation
- A toilet that runs continuously or intermittently after being flushed
- Water pooling around the base of the toilet after flushing
- A toilet that rocks or wobbles when you sit down or stand up
- Weak flushes that require multiple attempts to clear the bowl
- Frequent clogging even with normal use
- Cracks visible in the porcelain tank or bowl
- A phantom flush — the tank refills on its own with no one using it
- Constant condensation or sweating on the tank in warmer months
The Most Common Toilet Repairs We Handle
A running toilet is almost always caused by one of a few parts failing: a worn flapper that no longer seals the tank properly, a fill valve that isn't shutting off at the right water level, or a flush valve with mineral buildup preventing a clean seal. These are inexpensive, quick repairs, but a running toilet left alone can waste a significant amount of water — and money — over weeks or months.
Water pooling around the base usually points to a failed wax ring, the seal between the toilet and the drain flange. This can develop after years of normal use, or sooner if the toilet was ever loose or wobbling, which stresses that seal every time someone sits down. Leaving it unaddressed risks water damage to the subfloor beneath the toilet, which turns a simple reseal into a much bigger repair.
When Replacement Makes More Sense Than Repair
Cracks in the tank or bowl, a toilet that's been reset multiple times and still leaks at the base, or an older high-flow model using far more water per flush than a modern low-flow unit are all situations where installing a new toilet is usually the better long-term choice. We'll walk you through the trade-off honestly rather than defaulting to whichever option costs more.
For replacements, we help you pick a toilet that fits your bathroom's rough-in dimensions, your household's needs, and your budget, then handle the full installation — removing the old unit, resetting the wax ring and flange, securing the new toilet properly so it doesn't rock, and testing the fill and flush before we consider the job done.
Installation Details That Prevent Future Problems
A toilet that wobbles even slightly after installation will eventually leak, because that movement breaks the wax ring seal over time. We make sure the base is fully secured to the floor, the wax ring is properly seated, supply line connections are snug without being overtightened, and the shutoff valve is working correctly — small details that determine whether a new toilet installation lasts for years without issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is usually a worn flapper or a fill valve that isn't shutting off properly. Both are quick, inexpensive repairs, but should be fixed promptly since a running toilet can waste a large amount of water.
Yes — it usually means the wax ring seal has failed, which can lead to water damage in the subfloor if left unaddressed. It's worth having this looked at promptly rather than waiting.
Cracks in the porcelain, a base that continues leaking after reseating, or a very old high-water-use model are all signs replacement is the better value. We'll give you an honest read during the estimate.
Yes, we measure the rough-in dimension before recommending a replacement toilet to make sure it fits your existing plumbing without modification.
Yes, we're available 24/7 for toilets that won't stop running, won't shut off, or are actively leaking.
Yes, we can install bidet attachments and bidet-toilet combinations, and will check your existing supply line and outlet compatibility beforehand.
It depends on the toilet model and whether any additional flange or supply line work is needed. You'll get a free, clear estimate before we start.
