The most common cause of a running toilet leak is a problem with the toilet tank mechanism that lets water keep flowing into the bowl. Loose connections at the tank or bowl can also contribute to continuous running or leaks. In Lafayette and West Lafayette, our licensed plumbers fix tank, connection, and base issues with 24/7 availability and upfront pricing.

Quick checks:

• Add food coloring to the tank; if color seeps into the bowl, you have an internal leak.
• Look for water around the tank or base and schedule a professional inspection. <br/>

A toilet leaking from the base when you flush usually means the wax-ring seal has failed. Loose closet bolts or a cracked toilet base can also let water escape. Our licensed plumbers repair toilet base/wax-ring problems and loose connections, and we’re available 24/7 in Lafayette and West Lafayette.

Quick checks:

• Gently rock the toilet. Movement suggests a loose bolt or failed seal.
• Tighten the bolt caps carefully. Do not overtighten.
• If water pools after every flush, shut off the supply and call for service.

In Lafayette and West Lafayette, we offer free estimates for plumbing repairs so you can compare options first. Toilets typically last 10–15 years; frequent issues suggest it’s time to replace.

Yes, many homeowners can replace a toilet fill valve with basic tools. Shut off the water, drain the tank, and install the new valve per the kit instructions. If the valve still runs, you see leaks at the base, the shut-off will not turn, or flushing stays weak, schedule service. We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing in Lafayette and West Lafayette with upfront pricing. If your toilet is 10–15 years old and needs frequent fixes, replacement may be smarter. Tip: use a food-coloring tank test to spot slow leaks.
