September 2026
A Raleigh homeowner in the 27614 area needed the toilet flange repaired and the toilet reset. Alex and Chris installed the customer supplied toilet flange and reset the toilet. They then tested for leaks and caulked under the toilet to seal it per code.
The leak test showed nothing leaking at the time of the visit, and the toilet was good to go.
Chris
August 2026
During a plumbing inspection at a home in the 27616 area, Chris found that the Roman tub valve in the master bathroom was leaking around the handles, with no access to the cartridge or underneath the tub because there was no access panel. He also found that the 50-gallon electric water heater in the garage, manufactured in 2016, had never been flushed and had corrosion around the edges, and that the original hallway bathroom toilet was not flushing properly, had a very slow flush, and needed a major rebuild. Chris advised the homeowner that he could provide an estimate to install an access panel on the side of the tub and replace the valve.

A Raleigh homeowner in the 27613 area reported trouble with two toilets on the second floor. One was not filling properly and the other was running constantly.
Nick found that one toilet was not filling properly and the other had the incorrect flapper installed, causing it to become dislodged and run constantly. He talked with the homeowner about the rare pieces inside of these Mansfield toilets. She decided to get two new customer-supplied Kohler toilets, and Nick will return to install them once she receives them.

April 2026
During a thorough whole home plumbing inspection at a home in the 27615 area, Nick and Chris found the home in great condition overall but noted potential failures on the flappers in four of the toilets, and found that the kitchen countertop was not caulked well, causing water to leak down under the kitchen sink. They replaced four universal 3 inch flappers and sealed the kitchen countertops. They also provided multiple estimates on upfront pricing, including water heater options for the future.
After the work, everything was functioning properly.

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.
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.
