Why Are My Upstairs Toilets Not Flushing in Raleigh?
The Problem

What We Found
Nick found that the existing toilets were outdated and not functioning efficiently.
The Fix
Nick installed two customer-supplied American Standard Champion toilets on the second floor. He replaced the wax rings, flange bolts, and supply lines, then caulked the bases for a secure fit. After installation, he tested all functions thoroughly to ensure proper operation.
The Result

Why Are My Upstairs Toilets Running in Raleigh?
The Problem
A homeowner in Raleigh was experiencing issues with two toilets on the second floor; one was not filling properly, and the other was running constantly.
What We Found
Nick discovered that one toilet had an incorrect flapper installed, causing it to become dislodged and run continuously.
The Fix
Nick discussed the unique parts inside the Mansfield toilets with the homeowner. They decided to replace them with new Kohler toilets. The homeowner planned to purchase the toilets and contact Nick for installation.
The Result
The homeowner was informed about the necessary replacements and planned to proceed with new installations.
Pro Tip
If your toilet runs constantly, check the flapper for proper fit. An incorrect or worn flapper can cause continuous running, leading to higher water bills.

Why Is My Toilet Constantly Running in Raleigh?
The Problem
The homeowner noticed that several toilets in their home were constantly running, which led them to suspect a plumbing issue.
What We Found
Chris and Nick found that the flappers in four of the toilets were worn out, which was causing the toilets to run continuously. They also discovered that the kitchen countertop was not properly caulked, allowing water to leak under the sink.
The Fix
Nick replaced the four universal 3-inch flappers to stop the toilets from running. Additionally, they sealed the kitchen countertops to prevent further water leakage. They also provided the homeowner with estimates for future water heater options.
The Result
After the repairs, all toilets were functioning properly, and the kitchen sink area was secure from leaks.
Pro Tip
A worn flapper will let water continuously flow, wasting both water and money. If you hear your toilet running longer than normal, replace the flapper ASAP to avoid costly water bills and potential damage.

Why Is My Toilet Making a Pulsating Noise?
The Problem
A homeowner in Raleigh noticed that their downstairs powder room toilet was making a pulsating noise during refill, and the front left hose bib was not shutting off properly.
What We Found
Nick found that the home's water pressure was between 75–85 PSI, which was contributing to the issues with the toilet and hose bib.
The Fix
Nick and Chris replaced the problematic hose bib and also installed a new fill valve, flapper, and supply line for the downstairs powder room toilet. They presented multiple options with upfront pricing, and the homeowner approved the necessary repairs.
The Result
After the repairs, all plumbing fixtures were thoroughly tested and confirmed to be functioning properly.
Pro Tip
If your toilet is pulsating during refill, check the water pressure; anything over 60 PSI can cause issues. Install a pressure regulator to prevent further damage to your plumbing fixtures and ensure smooth operation.

Why Quality Toilet Repair Matters in Raleigh
Extreme Summer Heat
Raleigh's hot, humid summers with temperatures often reaching 95°F+ put tremendous stress on HVAC systems. Systems must be properly maintained and sized to handle the extended cooling season from May through September.
Diverse Buildings
The city's diverse neighborhoods from downtown high-rises to suburban homes to historic properties each have unique HVAC needs. Our technicians are experienced with all building types and their specific challenges.
Building Permits
Wake County building codes and city permits have specific requirements for HVAC installations and replacements. We handle all permitting to ensure your system meets local compliance standards.
Urban Heat Island
Urban heat island effects in downtown Raleigh can increase cooling demands by 5-10 degrees compared to surrounding areas. This requires careful system sizing and efficient equipment selection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toilet Repair in Raleigh
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Raleigh
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.
