You flush once and it works. No jiggling handles, no waiting for tanks to fill, no plunging every other day. The water stops running when it should. Your bathroom floor stays dry. Your water bill reflects normal usage instead of constant waste.
That’s what happens when toilet repair is done right the first time. In Lotus, where many homes date back to the 1950s and 70s, we understand that your toilet problems aren’t just inconvenient—they’re often symptoms of aging plumbing systems that need someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
Most toilet issues can be fixed the same day we arrive. Whether it’s a running toilet that won’t quit, a clog that keeps coming back, or a leak you can’t quite locate, we diagnose the real problem and fix it properly.
We’ve been solving toilet problems in Lotus and surrounding areas for over two decades. We know these older homes inside and out—the quirks, the common issues, the shortcuts previous plumbers might have taken.
Our 5-star reputation comes from doing what we say we’ll do: showing up on time, diagnosing the actual problem, and fixing it right the first time. We’ve seen every toilet issue imaginable in homes built in the 60s and 70s, and we know which fixes last and which ones just waste your money.
We follow up after every job to make sure you’re completely satisfied. That’s not just good customer service—it’s how we’ve built our reputation in this community.
First, we actually diagnose the problem. Not just the symptom you called about, but what’s really causing it. Is your toilet running because of a bad flapper, or is there a deeper issue with the fill valve? Is that clog a one-time thing, or is your drain line trying to tell you something?
We explain what we find in plain language and give you a transparent estimate before we touch anything. No diagnostic fees, no surprises. If you approve the work, we fix it properly using quality parts that match your toilet’s age and specifications.
After we’re done, we test everything thoroughly and clean up completely. Then we follow up in a few days to make sure everything is still working perfectly. Most toilet repairs are completed the same day, and we guarantee our work.

Running toilets, clogged drains, weak flushes, base leaks, handle problems, fill valve issues—we fix them all. In Lotus homes, we commonly see toilets with original parts from the 70s that just need proper adjustment or replacement with modern equivalents.
We also handle complete toilet replacements when repair doesn’t make financial sense. Many homeowners are surprised how much more efficient modern toilets are compared to their 40-50 year old units. A new toilet can cut your water usage significantly while providing better flushing performance.
For homes in the Lotus area, we stock parts that work with both vintage and modern toilet systems. We understand the unique challenges of older homes—from non-standard rough-ins to floors that aren’t perfectly level—and we come prepared to handle whatever we find.
If your toilet is constantly running, frequently clogging, or requiring multiple flushes to clear waste, it likely needs repair. However, replacement makes more sense when repair costs approach $300-400, when the toilet is cracked, or when you’re dealing with recurring problems every few months.
In Lotus homes built in the 1970s, we often find toilets that are still mechanically sound but inefficient. A toilet using 3.5-5 gallons per flush can be replaced with a modern 1.28-gallon model that actually flushes better while cutting your water usage by 60-70%. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations based on what makes the most financial sense.
A constantly running toilet usually means water is continuously flowing from the tank into the bowl. This happens when the flapper doesn’t seal properly, the chain is too long or short, or the fill valve isn’t shutting off correctly. In older toilets, mineral buildup and deteriorated rubber parts are common culprits.
The flapper is often the issue—it warps over time and can’t create a proper seal. Sometimes the chain gets tangled or the water level is set too high, causing water to flow over the overflow tube. We diagnose the exact cause and replace the faulty components. Most running toilet repairs are completed within an hour and cost significantly less than the water waste you’ll prevent.
Frequent clogs in older homes often indicate issues beyond just what’s being flushed. Older toilets may have weaker flushing power, partially blocked rim jets, or drain lines with decades of buildup. In Lotus homes, we sometimes find original cast iron drain lines that have narrowed over time due to corrosion and scale buildup.
Low water levels in the bowl, worn-out flappers that don’t open fully, or toilets that aren’t level can all contribute to poor flushing performance. We inspect the entire system—not just the visible parts—to identify why clogs keep happening. Sometimes a simple adjustment fixes the problem; other times, addressing the drain line or replacing an inefficient toilet is the permanent solution.
Most common toilet repairs—like replacing flappers, fill valves, or handles—range from $150-300 including parts and labor. More complex issues like wax ring replacement or internal component overhauls can run $300-500. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
For Lotus homeowners, we often find that investing in quality parts designed for your toilet’s age saves money long-term. Cheap replacement parts might cost less upfront but often fail within a year or two. We use components that match your system’s specifications and are built to last. Emergency service is available, though same-day appointments during regular hours don’t carry additional charges.
Yes, base leaks typically require replacing the wax ring that seals the toilet to the floor drain. This involves removing the entire toilet, inspecting the flange, and installing a new wax ring. In older Lotus homes, we sometimes find that the toilet flange also needs attention or that the floor has settled slightly over the decades.
Base leaks should be addressed quickly because water can damage your subfloor and create mold problems. The repair process takes 2-3 hours and includes checking that your toilet is properly level and secure. We also inspect for any signs of floor damage and can recommend contractors for subfloor repairs if needed. Most wax ring replacements solve the problem permanently.
Absolutely. We’ve been working on Lotus-area homes from this era for over 20 years and understand their unique plumbing characteristics. Many of these homes have original fixtures that were built to last but now need modern replacement parts or adjustments to work with current water pressure and efficiency standards.
We stock parts that work with vintage toilet models and know how to adapt modern components when exact replacements aren’t available. Common issues in these homes include outdated fill valves, deteriorated flappers, and toilets that use excessive water per flush. We can often upgrade internal components to improve performance while keeping your existing toilet, or recommend efficient replacements that fit your bathroom’s original rough-in dimensions.
