Home/Toilet Repairs & Installation
Leak Tested Every Time · CFC 1433130A running toilet wastes hundreds of gallons a month. A leaking one quietly ruins the floor underneath it. We diagnose the whole assembly, not just the part that is obviously broken, then leak test before we leave.
United Plumbing repairs and installs toilets throughout Fort Myers and Southwest Florida. Licensed plumbers diagnose flushing failures, running tanks, base leaks, unstable mounting and supply issues by inspecting the full assembly, including tank components, water supply connections, flange alignment and floor stability. Every repair and installation is pressure tested, leak verified and completed to Florida plumbing code.
Toilet problems escalate from inconvenience to costly water damage quickly. Running toilets, leaking wax seals, worn internal valves and unstable flanges waste hundreds of gallons a month while hidden moisture damages flooring and subfloor.
In Fort Myers, mineral-rich water, humidity and aging plumbing accelerate seal deterioration and internal component failure. Water treatment slows that down across every fixture in the house.
Catch It Early
Most toilet problems start with subtle warning signs before turning into leaks or plumbing damage.
Addressing these early prevents water waste, subfloor damage, and more expensive repairs.
A toilet that moves when you sit on it is not a nuisance, it is a warning. Movement breaks the wax seal, and once that goes, water escapes at the base into the floor rather than down the drain. That one is worth calling about now.
Call (239) 496-5477Diagnostics
Toilet failures usually originate from worn internal components, improper installation, or instability at the base flange connection. Accurate diagnosis determines whether targeted repair restores dependable performance or replacement is the better long-term answer.
Common problems include:
During service our plumbers inspect the full assembly, including tank components, water supply connections, flange alignment and floor stability, so the problem is resolved completely rather than deferred. All repairs include functional testing and leak verification before completion.
Many toilet issues are worth repairing. Replacement makes sense when structural damage or recurring failures compromise reliability.
The fixture is sound
The fixture has failed
Modern installations improve flushing performance, reduce water consumption, and eliminate recurring leak risks. In the slab foundation homes common throughout Fort Myers, damaged flanges or persistent base leaks threaten flooring and structural materials, so timely replacement prevents hidden damage.
Improper installation is one of the most common causes of repeat leaks and subfloor damage. Incorrect flange height, poor wax ring compression, or overtightened mounting bolts that stress the porcelain will all come back. If a toilet has leaked at the base more than once, the fixture is usually not the problem.

Common Questions
Usually a failed flapper that no longer seals, or a fill valve that will not shut off at the right level. Both are inexpensive parts, and both waste a surprising amount of water while they are failing. If a new flapper has not fixed it, the fault is elsewhere in the assembly.
Water at the base almost always means the wax ring has failed, often because the toilet has been rocking or the flange sits at the wrong height. It matters more than it looks, because that water goes into the subfloor rather than down the drain.
Repair when the fixture is sound and one component has failed. Replace when the porcelain is cracked, the flange is corroded, clogs keep recurring despite repairs, or internal parts keep failing. We will tell you which situation you are in rather than defaulting to the bigger job.
Repeat clogging at one toilet can mean an older low-performance design, a partial blockage in the branch line, or a venting issue. If several fixtures are slow as well, the problem is likely further down the line and worth looking at with drain cleaning.
Yes. Movement breaks the wax seal and stresses the flange, which leads to base leaks and eventually subfloor damage. In slab homes it also risks the flange connection itself. It is a small fix now and a much bigger one later.
Replacing an outdated high-water-use model with a modern one reduces consumption per flush. If the old toilet was also running intermittently, the saving is larger than the rated difference suggests.
Yes. Commercial fixture work covers offices, retail, restaurants and multi-unit properties, scheduled around your operating hours.
