Toilet & Faucet Repair in Madison, AL
A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day, and a dripping faucet adds up on your water bill. Most toilet and faucet problems are quick, affordable fixes, and they are a good time to upgrade worn builder-grade fixtures.
Toilet Problems We See Most
- Running toilet. Usually a worn flapper, fill valve, or misadjusted float.
- Weak or incomplete flush. Partial clog, low tank water level, or mineral buildup in rim jets.
- Rocking toilet or leak at the base. Failed wax ring or loose flange; fix it early to prevent subfloor rot.
- Constant clogs. An older low-flow model or a problem further down the line.
Faucet Problems
- Dripping from the spout (worn cartridge or washer)
- Leaking under the sink (supply line or connection)
- Low pressure (clogged aerator or cartridge)
- Handle loose, stiff, or hard to turn
Repair or Replace?
Repairs make sense for newer, good-quality fixtures. Replacement makes sense when parts are hard to find, the fixture is corroded, or you are paying for repeat repairs. Replacing a toilet with a modern 1.28-gallon model can also cut water use noticeably.

Should I replace old shut-off valves?
Yes, if they are original and have not been turned in years. Old valves often fail to close fully or start leaking when turned. Replacing them during another repair is inexpensive insurance.
