How do I know my toilet needs attention?
- The toilet keeps running after a flush, or refills on its own
- A weak or incomplete flush
- Frequent clogs or slow draining
- Water around the base of the toilet
- A toilet that rocks or feels loose
- Cracks in the bowl or the tank
What should I do if my toilet is clogged or overflowing?
- Stop flushing. If the water keeps rising, close the shut-off valve behind the toilet.
- Use a plunger gently. Avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners, which can damage pipes.
- Mop up spills and keep the area dry.
- If it keeps clogging, or other drains are slow too, call a plumber.

What affects the cost of toilet repair or replacement?

- The toilet model and the fittings it needs

Frequently asked questions
Why does my toilet keep running?
Usually a worn flapper or a faulty fill valve inside the tank is letting water leak through or fill without stopping. A running toilet wastes water, so it is worth fixing soon.
Why does my toilet clog so often?
Frequent clogs can come from flushing too much at once, a weak flush, a partial blockage further down the line or an older toilet. If other drains are slow too, the problem may be in the main line.
How do I know if my toilet is leaking at the base?
Look for water or staining around the base, a toilet that rocks or a musty smell. The seal under the toilet may have failed, and it is best fixed before the floor is damaged.
When should I replace a toilet instead of repairing it?
Replace it if the porcelain is cracked, if repairs keep coming back or if the toilet is old and unreliable. Otherwise a repair is often enough. We diagnose first and explain both options.
Do you install toilets in commercial buildings?
Yes. GD Plumbing does both residential and commercial plumbing.
How much does toilet repair or replacement cost?
It depends on whether the toilet needs a repair or a replacement and on the fittings involved. Prices vary from job to job, so we give a quote for each one. Call 613-446-5959 or request a quote.
