Why Is My Water Bill So High in Chapel Hill?
The Problem
A Chapel Hill homeowner noticed an unusually high water bill and suspected a leak.
What We Found
Chris found that the downstairs toilet's fill valve was malfunctioning and the upstairs toilet flapper was worn out, causing water to leak continuously.
The Fix
Chris replaced the fill valves and supply lines in both upstairs toilets, as well as the downstairs fill valve and supply lines. He also replaced the worn-out flapper in the upstairs bathroom to ensure proper sealing.
The Result
After the repairs, the toilets functioned properly, preventing further water loss and reducing the water bill.
Pro Tip
A constantly running toilet can significantly increase your water bill. If you hear water running when the toilet isn't in use, it might be time to check the fill valve and flapper for wear.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toilet Repair in Chapel Hill
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Chapel Hill
Is it worth repairing an old toilet or should I replace it?
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.
Why does my toilet keep running after I jiggle the handle?
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.
What toilet do you recommend for a family home?
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.
How long does a toilet installation take?
A straightforward toilet replacement on an existing flange takes about one hour. If the flange needs repair or the floor around the toilet requires attention, expect 90 minutes to two hours. We always test with multiple flushes and check for leaks before we leave.
