River’s hard water puts extra stress on toilet components, causing faster wear and more frequent clogs. We’ve seen it all and know exactly how to fix it right the first time.
First, we diagnose the problem completely. Running water? We check the flapper, fill valve, and chain. Clog? We determine if it’s in the toilet trap or further down the line. Leak at the base? We inspect the wax ring and bolts.
Then we explain what we found and give you a clear, upfront price. No work starts until you approve it. Most toilet repairs take 30-60 minutes once we begin.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly before we leave. We make sure your toilet fills properly, flushes completely, and stops running. You’ll know it’s fixed because it works like it should.

Hard water in River causes more wear on toilet parts, but catching problems early keeps repair costs reasonable. Waiting usually makes things more expensive.
A toilet that keeps running is usually caused by a warped flapper that won’t seal properly, a chain that’s too long or short, or a fill valve that won’t shut off. River’s hard water accelerates wear on these rubber and plastic components.
The flapper is the most common culprit. It gets warped from mineral deposits or just wears out over time. When it can’t seal the flush valve opening, water keeps flowing from the tank into the bowl.
We replace the worn parts with quality components designed to handle hard water conditions. Most running toilet repairs take 30-45 minutes and solve the problem completely.
Yes, weak flushes usually come from clogged rim jets, low water level in the tank, or a warped flapper that doesn’t open fully. River’s hard water commonly clogs the small holes under the toilet rim where water enters the bowl.
We clean out mineral buildup from the rim jets, adjust the water level, and replace any worn components. Sometimes the problem is in the toilet’s trap or the drain line, which requires different tools and techniques.
Most flush problems are fixable without replacing the entire toilet. We’ll test the flush thoroughly before we leave to make sure it clears the bowl completely every time.
We offer 24/7 emergency service for urgent toilet problems. During business hours, we typically arrive within 1-2 hours. For after-hours emergencies, we aim for 2-4 hours depending on the situation and location in River.
A completely clogged toilet that’s overflowing or a toilet that’s leaking water onto your floor qualifies as an emergency. We prioritize these calls because water damage gets worse quickly.
We keep common toilet repair parts on our trucks, so most emergency repairs get fixed on the first visit. No need to wait days for parts or schedule multiple appointments.
Yes, we handle complete toilet replacements from start to finish. This includes removing the old toilet, installing a new wax ring, setting the new toilet, connecting water lines, and testing everything thoroughly.
For River homes, we recommend toilets that work well with hard water and meet California’s water efficiency requirements. We help you choose the right model for your needs and budget, not just the most expensive option.
New toilet installation typically takes 2-3 hours including cleanup. We dispose of your old toilet and make sure the new one is level, secure, and functioning properly before we leave.
River’s hard water creates mineral buildup that narrows drain pipes over time. Combined with older plumbing systems and items that shouldn’t be flushed, this leads to more frequent clogs than in areas with soft water.
The minerals in hard water also make toilet paper and waste stick to pipe walls more easily. Tree roots seeking water can infiltrate sewer lines, creating catch points for debris.
We clear the immediate clog and identify what’s causing repeat problems. Sometimes it’s as simple as switching toilet paper brands. Other times we need to clean mineral buildup from the drain line or address root intrusion.
