Water Filtration SystemsTD Plumbing Solutions repairs running, leaking and weak-flushing toilets for homes across Benbrook and Greater Fort Worth. Master plumber Terrill Dobbs finds the failed part and fixes it.
Most toilet trouble comes from a few small parts in the tank: the flapper, the fill valve and the seals. Hard water wears them out faster here. Terrill watches a flush, finds the failed part and gives you the price. Most repairs take one visit.
You hear the tank refill when nobody flushed, or you find a damp spot by the base. A toilet can waste a lot of water before you notice, so these signs are worth a call.
A worn flapper or bad fill valve lets water leak into the bowl all day.
This is a slow, quiet leak past the flapper.
Scale can clog the small holes under the rim, or the tank water level is set too low.
The wax seal under the toilet may have failed. Act quickly to protect the floor.
A clogged or worn fill valve, the part that refills the tank, is the usual cause.
It could be the toilet or a problem further down the drain. We check which.

We swap the worn part and clean scale from the valve and rim holes.
We flush several times and check the tank, base and valve for leaks.

Pulling the toilet to reseal it takes more time than tank work.
A stuck or leaking valve adds a part and some time.
A clog in the toilet is simpler than one further down the drain.
Every price is given before work starts. Larger jobs can be financed through Hearth.
If a flapper will do, you get a flapper, not a new toilet.

Hard water is tough on toilets here. Scale builds up on the fill valve and flapper, so they stop sealing. It also clogs the small holes under the rim and weakens the flush. We clean it out during the repair.
Many homes in Greater Fort Worth are older, with pier-and-beam floors or aging cast iron drains. A leak at the base can soften the wood below. Repeat clogs may point to the drain, and we tell you if so.
TD Plumbing Solutions fixes running toilets in Benbrook and across Greater Fort Worth. Owner Terrill Dobbs, a licensed master plumber, finds the worn part and gives you the price first. Most running toilets need a new flapper or fill valve, fixed in one visit.
Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait twenty minutes without flushing. If color shows up in the bowl, the flapper is leaking. It is common in hard water areas like Greater Fort Worth, and usually a quick fix.
Repair it if the bowl and tank are sound and the problem is a part inside. Replace it if it is cracked, clogs all the time or keeps needing parts. Terrill tells you straight. He would rather lose a sale than sell a toilet you do not need.
That is called phantom filling. Water slowly leaks from the tank into the bowl, usually past a worn flapper. When the level drops, the fill valve tops it up, wasting water all day. A new flapper, and sometimes a cleaned valve seat, stops it.
It can be. If the wax seal fails, water can leak into the floor each time you flush and rot the wood over time. It could also be a sweating tank or a loose supply line. We find out which before we pull anything up.
Turn the shutoff valve behind the toilet clockwise until it stops. If it will not turn, lift the tank lid, push the flapper down and lift the float. Then call us. We answer 24/7 for emergencies and can replace a stuck valve.
Often it is hard water scale in the rim holes or the jet at the bottom of the bowl. It can also be a water level set too low or a flapper closing too soon. These are fixable. If you also hear gurgling, the drain or vent may be the cause.
Many toilet repairs are done in one visit because the common parts are on hand. We cannot promise a set time, since it depends on the day's schedule. Call, and a real person will tell you when Terrill can get there.
Pick your town for local details on toilet repair there, or call and Terrill will tell you straight what your home needs.
New toilets set level and sealed tight to the flange, with the shutoff valve and supply line checked before the first flush.
