Toilet Repair
A toilet that keeps running, leaks, rocks, or doesn’t flush properly can waste water and become a bigger nuisance over time. R&L Plumbing provides toilet repair across San Francisco and the East Bay for common fixture and tank problems.
If the bowl is blocked or backing up, our clogged toilet service may be a better fit.

Common Toilet Problems We Repair
Toilet problems can come from the tank, the connections, or the parts underneath the fixture. We can diagnose issues such as:
- A toilet that keeps running after a flush
- Weak or incomplete flushing
- Water leaking around the base
- A toilet that rocks or feels unstable
- Problems with the flapper, fill valve, or flush valve
- Damaged or worn connections
The right repair depends on what’s causing the problem, so we check the fixture before replacing parts.
Why Leaks and Wobbling Need Attention
Water around the base of a toilet can damage flooring or the subfloor if the leak continues. A toilet that rocks can also put stress on the seal and connection underneath it.
We’ll find the source of the problem and determine whether the toilet can be repaired or needs to be reset. If the fixture is cracked, badly worn, or no longer worth repairing, our toilet installation service covers replacement.
We also provide residential plumbing services for other plumbing problems around the home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my toilet keep running after I flush?
Common causes include a worn flapper or a problem with the fill valve. The tank water level or other components can also keep a toilet running, so we’ll check the system and identify what needs to be adjusted or replaced.
Why is water leaking from the base of my toilet?
A failed seal under the toilet is one possibility, but water can also come from nearby connections. We’ll locate the source before making the repair.
Why does my toilet rock when I sit down?
The toilet may be loose, the flange underneath it may be damaged, or the floor may be uneven. We’ll check the mounting and connection to determine what needs to be repaired or reset.
Is a running toilet actually costing me money?
Yes. A toilet that runs continuously can waste a significant amount of water and increase your water bill. Repairing the problem stops unnecessary water use.
