Toilets are an essential part of our daily lives, yet when they stop working properly, they can quickly become a major inconvenience. At Top Notch Well Pumps & Plumbing, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing all kinds of toilet problems, ensuring your home’s plumbing runs smoothly and efficiently.


Toilet issues have been around for centuries, dating back to ancient civilizations. Over the years, toilets have evolved significantly, with the introduction of modern sewage treatment plants and wastewater systems that make our lives much easier. Despite these advancements, even today’s high-tech toilets aren’t immune to occasional problems. That’s where we come in.


Common Toilet Problems: When to Call a Plumber

Knowing when to call a professional plumber can save you time, money, and stress. Here are some common toilet issues that may require expert attention:


  • Continuously Running Water: If your toilet constantly runs water, it’s not just an annoyance; it’s also wasting a significant amount of water. This problem is often caused by a faulty flapper or fill valve that needs repair or replacement.

  • Weak Flushing Power: A toilet that doesn’t flush effectively may indicate an issue with the flapper, flush valve, or a partial blockage in the system.

  • Clogged Toilet: Clogs are one of the most common and frustrating toilet problems. Whether caused by flushing non-flushable items or a buildup of waste, a clogged toilet can lead to overflowing and significant mess if not dealt with promptly.

  • Leaks Around the Base or Tank: Water pooling around the base of your toilet or leaking from the tank could indicate a worn wax ring, loose bolts, or a faulty flange. These issues can cause water damage to your floor and should be addressed immediately.

  • Unusual Noises: If your toilet makes strange sounds during or after flushing, it could signal a problem with the fill valve, water pressure, or air in the pipes.


Toilet Repair: How We Can Help

Our skilled technicians at Top Notch Well Pumps & Plumbing are experts in diagnosing and fixing all types of toilet problems. Here’s how we can assist you:
