A new Cary homeowner asked for a check on a leaking toilet.
Nick came out to check the leaking toilet at a home in the 27518 area. He replaced the valve and flapper in one visit.

A Cary homeowner noticed a larger water bill, with daily usage running almost doubled, and suspected a leak somewhere, possibly with water damage under the downstairs toilet.
Nick put a timer on the meter and found something running approximately a quarter to half a gallon of water every two minutes, which he traced to the powder toilet. Weighing repair against replacement, the homeowner chose a new American Standard Champion toilet, and when the old toilet was removed, Nick found the flange had been rigged and was cracked down into the piping, a secondary issue that had previously done major damage to the subfloor. Nick installed the new American Standard Champion toilet along with a new emergency shut off valve, replaced the toilet flange, and reattached the PVC in the crawlspace.
After cleanup, Nick tested everything thoroughly and confirmed it was leak free.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Cary.
If your toilet is less than 15 years old and the issue is a running mechanism or minor leak, repair is usually the smart choice. For toilets older than 20 years, especially 3.5 or 5-gallon models, replacement with a modern 1.28-gallon high-efficiency toilet saves water, improves flush performance, and costs less over time.
Jiggling works temporarily because it repositions the flapper over the flush valve seat. This means the flapper is warped, has mineral buildup, or has lost its flexibility, all common in hard water areas. Replacing the flapper is a quick, inexpensive fix that stops the waste.
We frequently install the Toto Drake II and American Standard Champion 4 for families. Both feature powerful flush systems that handle heavy use, comfort-height seating, and durable components that resist our local hard water conditions. Both are WaterSense certified at 1.28 gallons per flush.
