No service call fee. We inspect the toilet issue and provide upfront options before any work begins.
Running toilet? Weak flush? Water on the floor? Toilet clogged, loose, leaking, or making suspicious little ghost noises at 2 AM? Earl’s Plumbing repairs and replaces toilets across Chico, Redding, Yuba City, and nearby Northern California communities.
Stop flushing. If water is still rising, turn the small shutoff valve behind the toilet clockwise. If multiple drains are backing up or sewage is involved, call right away because the issue may be larger than the toilet itself.
Toilets look simple until one starts running nonstop, leaking through the floor, or refusing to flush like it signed a tiny protest petition. We inspect the problem, explain your options, and give you the price before work begins.

Here are the real questions people ask when their bathroom starts acting like a small indoor water park.
A running toilet is often caused by a worn flapper, failed fill valve, cracked flush tower, chain issue, or incorrect water level. It can waste water and raise your bill, so don’t let it sing all night.
Leaks from the tank can come from tank bolts, a tank-to-bowl gasket, flush valve seal, fill valve connection, supply line, or cracked tank. We find the actual leak point before replacing parts.
If water appears near the base after flushing, the wax ring, toilet flange, toilet bolts, or toilet itself may be failing. Avoid using the toilet until it is checked, especially if wastewater may be escaping.
One clogged toilet may be a local blockage. Multiple slow drains, gurgling, or repeat backups may point to a larger drain or sewer issue. Related: drain and sewer cleaning.
A weak flush can come from low tank water, clogged rim jets, worn tank parts, a poor-performing older toilet, venting problems, or a partial drain obstruction.
A toilet that rocks may need resetting, new bolts, a new wax ring, flange repair, or floor evaluation. Movement can break the seal and lead to hidden floor damage.
Gurgling can be a blocked vent, partial clog, sewer line problem, or septic issue. If the toilet bubbles when another fixture drains, don’t ignore it. Related: sewer camera inspections.
We install bidet seats, bidet fixtures, and Toto toilets. If your upgrade needs a proper shutoff, supply line, outlet review, or fixture replacement, we can help. Related: bidet installation and Toto toilets.
Toilet repairs are often hiding inside the tank: worn flush valves, cracked towers, leaking gaskets, failed flappers, and parts that looked fine until they were pulled apart.


A major rebuild can replace multiple worn parts inside the tank so the toilet stops running, leaking, or flushing poorly.


Cracks and worn seals can cause a toilet to run, leak internally, or lose flush performance. This is why we inspect before guessing.

A failed tank-to-bowl gasket can leak when the toilet is flushed. Replacing the gasket and related hardware helps stop leaks between the tank and bowl.


Older flush mechanisms can fail, leak, or become difficult to service. A new style flush valve can restore normal operation when the toilet is otherwise worth repairing.

Repair usually makes sense when the problem is a flapper, fill valve, flush valve, handle, tank gasket, supply line, tank bolts, wax ring, or another replaceable part.
Replacement may be smarter when the porcelain is cracked, the toilet repeatedly clogs, it has poor flush performance, the tank or bowl is damaged, the toilet rocks because of flange or floor issues, or repair costs are creeping close to a new fixture.
If you are planning a bathroom update, want a comfort-height toilet, need a bidet-ready setup, or want a premium Toto toilet, replacement may also be a better long-term choice.
Simple, clean, and not a plumbing mystery novel with a surprise bill hiding on the last page.
We look at the tank, bowl, shutoff, supply line, base, flange symptoms, flush performance, and whether the issue may be a drain problem.
You get a plain-English explanation of whether the problem is a part, gasket, wax ring, clog, flange, crack, or larger drain issue.
We provide flat-rate pricing before the work begins. Repair, rebuild, replacement, or related drain work when needed.
If you approve the quote, we complete the repair or replacement when parts and scheduling allow, then test the toilet before we leave.

We repair running toilets, clogged toilets, leaking toilets, loose toilets, weak flushes, tank-to-bowl leaks, wax ring leaks, bidet installations, Toto toilets, and full replacements.
A toilet that keeps running is usually caused by a failed flapper, worn flush valve, bad fill valve, incorrect water level, chain issue, or cracked flush tower. If jiggling the handle does not stop it, the internal tank parts likely need adjustment or replacement.
Water around the base can come from a failed wax ring, loose toilet bolts, damaged flange, cracked toilet, condensation, or a nearby supply line leak. If water appears after flushing, stop using the toilet and schedule service because wastewater may be escaping under the fixture.
Repair often makes sense when the toilet has a bad flapper, fill valve, flush valve, handle, supply line, tank gasket, or wax ring. Replacement may be better when the porcelain is cracked, the toilet repeatedly clogs, the tank or bowl is damaged, the toilet is very old, or repair costs approach the cost of a new toilet.
A toilet major rebuild usually means replacing multiple internal tank parts instead of one small component. This may include the fill valve, flush valve, flapper, tank-to-bowl gasket, bolts, seals, and handle components depending on what has failed.
A bubbling or gurgling toilet can point to a clogged toilet, blocked vent, main drain issue, sewer line problem, or septic issue. If more than one drain is slow or the toilet bubbles when another fixture drains, the problem may be beyond the toilet itself.

Yes. A toilet leak at the base, tank bolts, supply line, or tank-to-bowl gasket can damage flooring, subfloor, baseboards, and nearby walls if it is not addressed. Water near the toilet should be checked quickly, especially if it appears after flushing.
