That constantly running toilet isn’t just annoying—it’s draining your wallet. A running toilet can waste over 200 gallons daily, adding $35 or more to your monthly water bill.
When your toilet works properly, you get reliable flushing power every time. No more middle-of-the-night wake-ups from running water. No more embarrassing moments when guests visit and your toilet won’t flush.
Most toilet repairs take just one visit to complete. You’ll have a fully functioning toilet by the end of the day, not a temporary patch that fails again next week.
Murray Plumbing has been serving Diamond Springs homeowners since 2009. We understand the unique challenges of homes built in the 1970s and 1980s—and there are a lot of them in Diamond Springs.
These homes often have original plumbing components that need special attention. Replacement parts that aren’t always easy to find. Mineral buildup from decades of use.
We’re a local, family-owned business that believes in straight talk and fair pricing. When we give you a quote, that’s what you pay. No surprise charges, no inflated diagnostic fees, no pressure tactics to sell you services you don’t need.
We start with a thorough diagnosis to identify what’s actually wrong. Many toilet problems that seem complex have straightforward solutions. A worn flapper causing constant running. A clogged trap that needs professional clearing. A loose connection that’s causing wobbling.
Once we identify the problem, we explain what’s wrong in plain terms. No technical jargon. No confusing explanations. Just honest information so you can make an informed decision about the repair.
Most toilet repairs are completed the same day. We carry common replacement parts on our trucks, so there’s usually no need for return visits or waiting for special orders. After the repair, we test everything thoroughly and clean up completely.

We handle everything from simple flapper replacements to complete toilet installations. Clogged toilet repair for blockages that won’t budge with a plunger. Leaky toilet fixes for water pooling around the base. Running toilet repairs that stop the constant water waste.
In Diamond Springs, where many homes are 40-50 years old, we often encounter toilets that need updating. Original fixtures that have served their time. Repair parts that are no longer standard. We know how to work with older plumbing systems and can source hard-to-find components when needed.
Our plumbing services extend beyond just repairs. We help Diamond Springs homeowners choose replacement toilets when repair isn’t cost-effective, handling the complete installation process from removal to final testing. Whether you need a toilet plumber for an emergency repair or planned replacement, we’re equipped to handle it.
Most toilet repairs in Diamond Springs cost between $150-$300, depending on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like replacing a flapper or fill valve typically run $150-$200. More complex repairs like replacing the wax ring or fixing a cracked tank can cost $200-$300.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Our quotes include both labor and parts, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. If we discover additional issues during the repair, we’ll discuss them with you and get approval before proceeding.
For Diamond Springs homeowners, we understand that unexpected plumbing expenses can strain your budget. That’s why we focus on fixing the actual problem rather than selling unnecessary services, helping you get the most value from your repair investment.
A constantly running toilet is usually caused by one of three issues: a warped or worn flapper that won’t seal properly, a chain that’s too long or short, or a fill valve that’s not shutting off correctly. In Diamond Springs homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, these components often need replacement due to age and mineral buildup.
The flapper is a rubber seal at the bottom of your toilet tank that lifts when you flush and should drop back down to stop water flow. Over time, it can warp, crack, or develop mineral deposits that prevent a tight seal. The chain connecting the flush handle to the flapper can also stretch or break.
This isn’t just an annoyance—a running toilet can waste 200+ gallons per day, significantly increasing your water bill. The good news is that these repairs are usually straightforward and can be completed in one visit, typically taking less than an hour to fix permanently.
Yes, we can diagnose and fix toilets with weak flushing power or incomplete flushes. This problem often stems from blocked rim holes under the toilet bowl rim, a partially clogged trap, or insufficient water level in the tank. In older Diamond Springs homes, mineral buildup is a common culprit.
We start by checking the water level in your tank—it should be about an inch below the rim. If that’s correct, we examine the rim holes where water enters the bowl during flushing. These small holes can become blocked with mineral deposits over time, reducing flushing power significantly.
Sometimes the issue is deeper in the toilet’s trap or the drain line itself. We have specialized tools to clear these blockages without damaging your toilet or plumbing. Most flushing problems can be resolved the same day, restoring your toilet to full power and eliminating the need for multiple flushes.
A leak around the toilet base usually indicates a failed wax ring seal and should be addressed quickly to prevent water damage to your flooring and subfloor. Don’t ignore this problem—what starts as a small leak can lead to expensive floor repairs if left untreated.
The wax ring creates a watertight seal between your toilet and the drain pipe in the floor. Over time, this seal can deteriorate, shift, or crack, allowing water to seep out during flushing. In Diamond Springs homes with original toilets, the wax ring may be decades old and well past its useful life.
Fixing this requires removing the toilet, replacing the wax ring, and reinstalling the toilet properly. This isn’t a DIY job—improper installation can make the problem worse and potentially damage your flooring. We handle this repair carefully, ensuring a proper seal that will last for years.
We typically respond to toilet emergencies in Diamond Springs within 2-4 hours during business hours, and we offer 24/7 emergency service for urgent situations. We understand that some toilet problems can’t wait—like a toilet that won’t stop overflowing or a complete blockage when you only have one bathroom.
Our emergency plumbing services cover situations that pose immediate risks to your property or when your household is left without a functioning toilet. We come prepared with common replacement parts and tools needed for most emergency repairs, so we can often solve the problem in one visit.
For non-emergency repairs, we usually schedule same-day or next-day service appointments. We know that even “minor” toilet problems become major inconveniences quickly, so we prioritize getting your bathroom back to normal as soon as possible.
We handle both toilet repairs and complete toilet replacement services, helping you decide which option makes the most financial sense for your situation. Sometimes a toilet is beyond economical repair—especially if it’s very old, has multiple problems, or the repair costs approach the price of a new toilet.
For Diamond Springs homes with original toilets from the 1970s and 1980s, replacement often makes more sense than repeated repairs. Modern toilets are more water-efficient, have better flushing power, and come with warranties that provide peace of mind. We can help you choose a replacement that fits your bathroom and budget.
When we install a new toilet, we handle everything: removing the old toilet, installing a new wax ring, setting the new toilet properly, and testing everything thoroughly. We also dispose of your old toilet responsibly, so you don’t have to worry about hauling it away. Most toilet installations are completed in 2-3 hours.
