You’re dealing with a toilet that’s disrupting your day, and you need it fixed now. Not next week, not when it’s “convenient”—now.
When we’re done, your toilet works like it should. No more jiggling the handle, no more mysterious running sounds at night, no more water bills that make you wince. Just a toilet that flushes properly and stays quiet until you need it.
That’s what happens when you call a Georgetown plumber who actually knows older homes. We’ve seen it all in homes built in the ’70s and earlier, and we know exactly what’s causing your problem and how to fix it permanently.
Murray Plumbing has been fixing toilets in Georgetown for years, and we understand something important: your home wasn’t built yesterday. Most Georgetown homes date back to 1975 or earlier, which means your plumbing has some unique characteristics.
We’ve earned our 4.7-star Google rating by showing up on time, diagnosing problems correctly, and fixing them with quality parts that last. Our team knows the difference between a quick patch job and a real solution.
Georgetown homeowners trust us because we’re transparent about pricing, we clean up after ourselves, and we stand behind our work. When you call us, you’re getting local expertise, not some generic plumber who treats every house the same.
First, we listen to what’s going on with your toilet and schedule a time that works for you. Our Georgetown plumbers arrive on time with the tools and parts needed for most common toilet repairs.
We diagnose the problem—whether it’s a faulty flapper, worn fill valve, clogged drain, or something more complex. Before we start any work, we explain what we found and give you an upfront price. No surprises, no “additional fees” that magically appear.
Then we fix it properly using quality parts. We test everything to make sure it’s working correctly, clean up our workspace, and show you what we did. Most toilet repairs are completed the same day, so you can get back to your normal routine without worrying about it breaking again next month.

We handle everything from simple flapper replacements to complete toilet installations. In Georgetown, where many homes average over 70 years old, we often encounter original plumbing that needs special attention.
Our toilet repair services include fixing running toilets, clearing stubborn clogs, stopping leaks, replacing worn parts, and addressing low water pressure issues. We also install new high-efficiency toilets that can save water and reduce your monthly bills.
Georgetown’s hard water, which comes from the Edwards Aquifer and flows through limestone, can cause mineral buildup that affects toilet performance over time. We know how to address these local water quality issues and recommend solutions that work specifically for Georgetown homes.
A toilet that won’t stop running is usually caused by a faulty flapper that isn’t sealing properly, or a fill valve that’s not shutting off when it should. The flapper is the rubber piece at the bottom of your toilet tank that lifts when you flush and should drop back down to seal the tank.
Over time, flappers can warp, crack, or get mineral buildup that prevents them from creating a proper seal. When this happens, water continuously leaks from the tank into the bowl, causing that constant running sound. The fill valve, which controls water entering the tank, can also malfunction and fail to shut off properly.
These are straightforward repairs that we can typically complete in under an hour. We’ll replace the faulty parts with quality components designed to last, so you won’t have to deal with this problem again anytime soon.
Most toilet repairs in Georgetown range from $150 to $300, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple repairs like replacing a flapper or fill valve are on the lower end, while more complex issues involving the toilet’s mounting or internal mechanisms cost more.
We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Unlike some companies, we don’t charge extra “diagnostic fees” or surprise you with additional costs once we start the repair. Our Georgetown customers often tell us our final bill was actually less than they expected.
The cost of repair versus replacement depends on your toilet’s age and condition. If your toilet is relatively new and just needs a part replaced, repair makes sense. But if it’s an older model with multiple issues, upgrading to a new high-efficiency toilet might be more cost-effective long-term.
If your toilet is less than 15 years old and only has one issue, repair usually makes more sense. But if you’re dealing with multiple problems—like frequent clogs, constant running, leaks, and cracks—replacement is often the better investment.
Georgetown homes built in the 1970s and earlier often have original toilets that use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush, compared to modern high-efficiency models that use 1.28 gallons or less. Replacing an old toilet can significantly reduce your water bill while eliminating ongoing repair costs.
We’ll assess your toilet’s condition and give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. Sometimes a $200 repair on a 20-year-old toilet just delays the inevitable, while other times a simple part replacement gives you several more years of reliable service.
Yes, we regularly fix toilets with flushing problems in Georgetown homes. Weak flushes are often caused by clogged rim holes around the toilet bowl, low water level in the tank, or a flapper that’s not opening fully when you press the handle.
Mineral buildup from Georgetown’s hard water can block the small holes under the toilet rim where water flows during flushing. This reduces the water flow and makes flushes less effective. We can clear these blockages and restore proper water flow to your toilet.
Sometimes the problem is with the chain connecting the handle to the flapper—if it’s too long or short, the flapper won’t lift properly. We’ll adjust or replace the chain and test the flush to ensure it’s working at full strength. Most flushing issues can be resolved quickly without replacing the entire toilet.
Absolutely. We offer 24/7 emergency toilet repair service throughout Georgetown because we know plumbing problems don’t wait for business hours. Whether your toilet is overflowing, completely blocked, or has started leaking in the middle of the night, we can help.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we typically arrive within a few hours of your call. We carry common toilet repair parts in our trucks, so most emergency repairs can be completed immediately without waiting for parts to be ordered.
Our emergency service covers all toilet issues—from severe clogs that won’t clear with a plunger to toilets that won’t stop running and are wasting hundreds of gallons of water. We understand that toilet problems can’t wait, especially when you only have one bathroom or when guests are coming over.
Georgetown homes built before 1980 often have toilets with original parts that are prone to specific issues. The most common problems we see are mineral buildup from hard water, worn flappers and fill valves, and toilets that rock or move due to deteriorated wax rings.
Hard water from the Edwards Aquifer causes calcium and magnesium buildup inside toilet tanks and around moving parts. This buildup can prevent flappers from sealing properly and cause fill valves to stick or malfunction. Regular cleaning and part replacement can prevent most of these issues.
Older toilets may also have cast iron or galvanized steel supply lines that can corrode over time, leading to reduced water pressure and discolored water. We often recommend upgrading these supply lines to modern materials when we’re already working on the toilet, since it prevents future problems and improves overall performance.
