Stop constant running water and protect your monthly bill
A worn flapper, faulty fill valve, or damaged float mechanism wastes hundreds of gallons every day. Our licensed plumbers pinpoint the exact cause and complete reliable, same-day repairs.
Signs your toilet needs immediate attention
Continuous tank hissing or trickling
A degraded flapper seal or misaligned lift chain lets water seep past the flush valve.
Ghost flushing through the night
Slow, silent leaks repeatedly drop the water line and trigger the fill valve unexpectedly.
Faulty fill valves and overflow leaks
Worn float mechanisms cause water to continuously spill into the internal overflow tube.
Why your toilet keeps running
A running toilet can waste over 6,000 gallons of clean water each month. Here are the four most common tank issues and how to pinpoint the fix.
A silent leak can waste up to 200 gallons a day.
Toilet refills on its own when nobody used it.
Having to nudge the lever means internal parts are misaligned.
The rubber flapper degrades from chlorine and minerals over time. When it loses its seal, water continuously seeps into the bowl.
If the float ball or cylinder is set too high, water keeps filling until it overflows continuously into the central standpipe.
Fill valves control water entering the tank after flushing. Mineral scale or worn internal gaskets prevent it from shutting off completely.
If the chain connecting the flush handle to the flapper is too short, it holds the seal open. If too long, it gets caught underneath.

Solve plumbing issues step by step
Diagnose common fixture troubles safely before picking up the phone. Follow our Henry County master technician checklist.
1. Clear visible debris & clean the stopper
Remove the hair catch or drain stopper manually. Clear built-up hair and soap scum using gloved hands or a small plastic drain snake.
2. Try a mechanical cup plunger
Cover the overflow opening with a wet rag to seal pressure, fill the basin with 2 inches of water, and plunge firmly 10-15 times.
3. Flush with boiling water & baking soda
Pour 1 cup of baking soda followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait 15 minutes, then flush with a kettle of hot water. Avoid caustic chemical drain cleaners that damage pipes.
4. When to call Stockbridge Plumbing Pros
If multiple fixtures gurgle, water backs up into your tub when flushing, or standard plunging fails, the clog is deep inside the main branch line.
Every homeowner should test their main water shutoff valve at least once per year. Most are located near the front outdoor hose bibb or garage wall entry.

Frequently asked questions about running toilets
Clear answers to help you stop water waste, identify faulty tank components, and know when to call a professional.
Quick checks before calling
Check the flapper chain
Ensure the lift chain has 1/2 inch of slack so the flapper seats tight.
Perform the food color test
Add 5 drops of food dye into the tank. If color enters the bowl in 15 minutes, the flapper leaks.
Inspect the water line level
Water should sit roughly 1 inch below the top of the overflow pipe.
