Toilet repair in Monterey Park
A running toilet is almost always the flapper or fill valve. A wobbly one needs to be pulled and reset on a new wax ring before it leaks into the floor. I fix both, and I'll replace the toilet if it's cracked or past saving.

What I fix
- Running toilets: flapper, fill valve, flush valve, or chain
- Weak or double flushing
- Wobbly toilets: pull, new wax ring and bolts, reset level
- Leaks at the supply line or shutoff valve
- Replacing a toilet with one you choose
Problems I see most
- Hard water wears out flappers and fill valves faster than you'd expect.
- A toilet that rocks slowly breaks the wax seal and can rot the subfloor.
- Old shutoff valves under the tank won't close all the way.

What customers said on Yelp
All reviewsRick was amazing! He did a fantastic job installing our smart toilet. Highly recommended!
Great service, highly recommend. I contacted Rick for a leaky shower and toilet and he was able to fix it the same day. He was quick and explained what the problems were and gave me a reasonable quote. I would definitely contact him again!
Rick was easy to communicate with and reliable. He installed a Kohler toilet at my parent's home. We will use his service again in the future!

Toilets questions
Something else? Call or text and ask.
Why does my toilet keep running?
Usually the flapper isn't sealing or the fill valve is set too high and water spills into the overflow tube. Both are quick part swaps.
Is a wobbly toilet a big deal?
It can become one. The rocking breaks the wax seal, and water can leak under the toilet into the floor. Resetting it on a new wax ring is a small job if you catch it early.
Should I repair or replace my toilet?
Repair it unless the bowl or tank is cracked, it clogs all the time, or parts are hard to find. I'll tell you which before I start.
Can you install a toilet I bought?
Yes. Send me the model so I can check the rough-in size (usually 12 inches) and the supply connection.
