Weak Flush
Dealing with a weak flush can be incredibly frustrating. If you’re finding that things just aren’t disappearing down the drain as they should, several issues could be at play:
- The water level in your tank might not be filling high enough to create sufficient flow.
- Your toilet tank may be emptying slowly, failing to generate the necessary suction.
- A worn or incorrectly sized flapper could be the culprit.
- Clogged or corroded jets under the rim of the toilet might be hindering proper flushing.
- There could be a blockage further down in the plumbing system, impeding flow out of the toilet.
In many cases, we discover that a previous owner attempted to replace the flapper valve themselves but installed the wrong one for their toilet’s model. Fortunately, our technicians always come prepared with the correct parts to address these issues swiftly and effectively.
Running Toilet
If your toilet takes an unusually long time to fill back up after flushing, the culprit could be a clogged refill valve or a faulty flapper. First, ensure that your water supply is fully open and that water flows freely back into the tank after each flush.
A worn or improperly positioned flapper valve can allow water to leak from the tank into the bowl. This leakage prompts the tank to continuously refill, resulting in that persistent “running” water sound. If left unaddressed, this cycle will persist, wasting water in the process.
Our technicians can swiftly replace these worn valves, putting an end to the continuous running of your toilet and preventing water wastage.
Toilet Overflows After Use
Experiencing an overflowing toilet at home can be one of the most distressing plumbing emergencies. Typically, an overflowing toilet, even when not clogged, can occur due to one of three primary reasons:
- The flapper valve may struggle to seal properly, allowing an excessive amount of water to flow from the tank into the bowl.
- The ball float might fail to close the refill valve once the pre-flush water levels are restored, leading to continuous water flow into the bowl.
- Despite the ball float signaling closure, the refill valve may remain open, causing water from the main line to keep flowing.
Regardless of the underlying cause of your toilet overflow, our team is equipped with swift solutions and top-quality components to promptly resolve the issue.
Leaking Toilet
Toilets can develop leaks for various reasons, often attributed to aging components such as:
- The seal between the toilet base and the floor wearing out over time.
- Deterioration of the gasket between the tank and the bowl.
When a toilet leaks at the base, it typically indicates that the rubber or wax seal, which sits between the bottom of the toilet and the floor, has become worn or defective. As this seal deteriorates, water may seep through and onto your bathroom floor.
Alternatively, a leak between the bowl and tank suggests that the rubber gasket, responsible for aiding the flapper valve in sealing off the tank, may have deteriorated. Our experienced technicians can accurately diagnose the source of your toilet leak and promptly replace any faulty components, ensuring that water stays where it belongs and doesn’t end up on your bathroom floor.
Toilet Installation
We understand that replacing a toilet is not typically your first preference. While toilets are designed to last for 25 years or more, they will eventually wear out over time. If you believe your toilet has reached the end of its lifespan, you can trust the team at Plumbing Services CA to replace it with a brand-new, more efficient model that should serve you well for many years to come.
Our expert plumbers will collaborate with you to identify the toilet model that best suits your needs and budget. You may be surprised by the range of options available. Once you’ve made your selection, the installation process for your new toilet is swift and efficient.

Toilet FAQ: How To…
Here are some tips for dealing with common toilet flushing issues:
How to Flush a Toilet When the Water is Off? If your toilet’s water supply is turned off, you can still flush it by pouring a bucket of water into the bowl until it flushes completely.
How to Flush a Toilet Without a Handle? If your toilet handle is broken or loose, you can still flush it by pouring water into the bowl, just like in the previous step.
How to Get a Toilet to Flush? If your toilet won’t flush, it could be due to issues with the handle, chain, flapper, or a clog. Check out our blog on fixing toilets that won’t flush for guidance on diagnosing and resolving the problem.
How to Fix Water Pressure in a Toilet? Weak or partial flushes can be caused by various factors, including clogs, worn parts, or corrosion. If this problem persists, consider having a licensed plumber inspect your toilet and potentially replace it with a more efficient model.
How to Fix a Toilet Bowl Flush? If your toilet’s flush is slow due to corroded water jets, you’ll need to clean them. These jets are the small holes located underneath the rim of the toilet bowl. Use a small wire brush and a solution of white vinegar and water to clean out the clogged jets and restore your toilet’s flushing power.
