A toilet that runs constantly wastes 26โ200 gallons of water per day depending on the severity โ that's $20โ$100 extra on a monthly water bill for a problem that typically requires a $15 part and 30 minutes to fix. A toilet that rocks on the floor is either a loose flange bolt or a deteriorated wax ring โ and if it's the wax ring, every flush risks sewer gas leaking into the structure. Masters Plumbing Service's toilet techs in Chicago Park, CA carry fill valves, flappers, wax rings, flush valves, toilet bolts, and supply lines to resolve every common toilet problem in a single visit.

A rocking toilet that's dismissed as a loose bolt and tightened without replacing the wax ring will continue letting sewer gas into the bathroom floor cavity. The right diagnosis matters.
Phantom flushing (spontaneous refill with no flush) almost always indicates a flapper that no longer seals โ a 10-minute repair. But sometimes it's a hairline crack in the overflow tube that keeps the water level from holding. We check both.
For toilets where the flush valve seat is chipped or the porcelain tank has cracked, we also carry compact replacement toilet units in standard rough-in dimensions.
Pulling and resetting a toilet requires shutting the water, draining both tank and bowl, disconnecting the supply line, unbolting the toilet from the flange, removing the old wax ring fully, inspecting the flange for damage, and seating a new ring with the correct compression profile for the floor height before resetting and re-bolting the toilet.
We don't upsell a toilet replacement when the existing toilet is functional and the problem is a repairable component. Honest diagnosis produces honest recommendations.
From a constantly running tank to a toilet that's been loose on the floor for years, here's exactly what our toilet techs address in Chicago Park, CA.
A running toilet is almost always caused by one of two things: a flapper that no longer seats fully against the flush valve (allowing water to trickle from tank to bowl), or a fill valve that won't shut off at the target water level. We dye-test to confirm the flapper seal, check fill valve shutoff behavior, and replace whichever component โ or both โ is responsible.
A toilet that rocks on the floor, shows water staining at the base after flushing, or emits sewer gas odor near the floor needs to come up for a wax ring inspection. We pull the toilet, remove the old ring completely, inspect the closet flange for cracks or corrosion, install the correct wax ring profile for the finished floor height, and reset and secure the toilet.
If the auger retrieves material and the toilet still doesn't clear, the blockage may be further in the drain line. We can extend the scope with a sectional cable machine or CCTV camera to determine if a foreign object (typically a toy or wipe product) is lodged deeper.
We can in many cases sand and polish a mildly damaged flush valve seat to restore the seal. When the seat is cracked or too severely scaled, we replace the flush valve assembly โ either with a manufacturer repair kit or a universal replacement valve.
The bolts and rubber gasket connecting the tank to the bowl can deteriorate over years of service, leading to slow leaks at the tank base or a tank that shifts side to side. We drain and remove the tank, replace the spud washer (tank-to-bowl gasket), install new brass bolts with neoprene washers, and reseat the tank with correct torque to avoid cracking the porcelain.
We handle the full process: shut water, pull old toilet (including wax ring and flange inspection), set the new unit, connect supply, and verify flush performance and seal before leaving.
Here's how a Masters Plumbing Service toilet call plays out in Chicago Park, CA from your first call to a quiet, leak-free bathroom.
We ask whether you have a gravity-feed toilet (standard) or a pressure-assist model, which affects which parts we bring.
Dye test for flapper seal, time the fill cycle, check the fill valve shutoff height, observe the flush cycle, check for base movement, and examine the supply line and tank hardware. A running toilet is diagnosed in under 5 minutes this way โ no guessing.
Based on diagnosis, you receive a flat-rate quote before the tech picks up a wrench. Common repairs are priced โ fill valve replacement, flapper replacement, wax ring reset, clog clearing โ and you see exactly what you're agreeing to.
You don't find out the repair didn't hold after we leave. We test until we're confident it's right.

Three toilet repairs in one visit across two bathrooms. The tech moved through each one efficiently โ new fill valve in the master, flapper replacement in the hall bath, and a wax ring reset in the kids' bathroom that had been slightly loose for over a year. All flat-rate, finished in two hours.
Toilet rocking at the base โ I'd been told it was just a loose bolt. Masters Plumbing Service pulled it, and the wax ring had a void on one side from an uneven floor. They replaced the ring, used a flange extender to correct the height to the tile, and reset the toilet. Completely solid now and no floor staining at the base. Glad I called before a minor issue became a subfloor problem.
Water pooling at the toilet base had me convinced it was the wax ring. Tech traced the water to a corroded tank bolt โ water was running down the outside of the bowl and pooling at the base without any leak at the floor seal. A 25-minute repair, not the toilet reset I was dreading.
