Family bathrooms get hard use, and Royal Palm Beach toilets are no exception. Du-All Plumbing repairs and replaces toilets across the Village, from a guest bath that runs at night to a kids' bathroom toilet that rocks every time someone sits down.

Why do toilets in busy Royal Palm Beach homes start to rock?

A toilet is held to the floor by two bolts that hook into a flange over the drain, with a wax or foam seal between the toilet and the flange. In a home where the toilet is used many times a day, small movements add up. The bolts loosen a little, the seal compresses unevenly, and before long the toilet shifts when someone sits down. Remodels add another cause: when a new tile or plank floor is laid over the old one without raising the flange, the toilet ends up sitting on a seal that is being asked to bridge a gap it was never designed for.

A rocking toilet is more than an annoyance. Each movement can break the seal a little more, and the first signs of failure are often a faint sewer smell, darkened grout at the base, or water on the floor after a flush. Left long enough, that water soaks into the subfloor or under flooring at the edge of the room.

The fix is not to crank the bolts down. Porcelain cracks under uneven pressure, and a cracked base means a new toilet. We lift the toilet, inspect the flange for cracks, rust or a low setting, repair or extend it as needed, level the bowl with shims, and set it on a new seal. If you have just replaced your floors and the toilet now moves, tell us, because a flange extension is probably part of the answer.

Which repairs fix a toilet that runs at night?

A tank that refills on its own every so often, or hisses quietly, is losing water. EPA WaterSense says most toilet leaks come from old or worn flappers. Test it with a dye tablet in the tank: wait ten minutes without flushing, check the bowl for color, then flush. Color means water is passing the flapper. If no color appears but the tank keeps refilling, repeat the test, since leaks can be intermittent, and check whether the water level is rising into the overflow tube, which points to the fill valve setting.

Guest bathrooms that sit unused for weeks are common sources, because a flapper can harden or warp and no one notices until the bill arrives. Replacing a flapper or fill valve is a routine repair, and we match the part to the tank so it seals properly. Generic parts that almost fit are one reason a toilet keeps running after a do-it-yourself repair.

Who is responsible for leaks on your side of the meter?

Most of the Village gets water and sewer service from Palm Beach County Water Utilities, while the Village directs residents south of Southern Boulevard to Wellington's utility. The County's customer service manual says the Department does not repair leaks on the owner's side of the meter. That includes every toilet, supply line and fill valve in the house.

The same manual describes limited cases in which the County may adjust a bill, such as certain leaks at or near the meter box shortly after the County has worked on the meter. A running toilet is not one of those, so the best protection is catching it early. If your bill jumps and you cannot find a toilet running, our Royal Palm Beach leak detection service can trace other leaks.

Is it time for a new toilet?

Replacement makes sense when a toilet is cracked, clogs regularly with normal use, clears poorly even with a clean trapway, or is an older high-volume model. EPA WaterSense labeled toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less and are tested for flushing performance, compared with as much as six gallons for some older toilets. In a busy household, that difference shows up quickly.

Before you shop, we measure the rough-in, the distance from the wall to the center of the drain. Most homes use a 12-inch rough-in, but some use 10 or 14 inches, and buying the wrong toilet means returning it or moving pipe. We also check the shutoff valve and supply line and replace them if they are worn. Height, bowl shape and seat preferences are yours to choose; we will tell you what fits. If you hope for a rebate, ask Palm Beach County Water Utilities about any current conservation program before buying.

What causes repeated clogs in a family bathroom?

Most repeated clogs come from what goes into the toilet: too much paper at once, wipes, cotton products, or small toys. A single clog that clears with a plunger is normal. A toilet that clogs every week, or that needs a plunger after ordinary use, may have something lodged in the trapway that lets water pass but catches paper.

We can auger the toilet, and if that does not clear it, pull the toilet to remove the obstruction from below. We do not use chemical drain cleaners in toilets. If more than one drain is slow, or a tub fills when the toilet flushes, the blockage is beyond the toilet and a line clearing visit is the next step. Stop using water and keep children and pets away from any wastewater in the meantime.

  • One clog, cleared: normal
  • Clogs weekly: possible object in the trapway
  • Several drains slow: likely beyond the toilet
  • Water coming up a tub: stop water use

What should you do while waiting for a repair?

If a toilet is about to overflow, stop flushing. Turn the stop valve behind the toilet clockwise if it moves easily, but never force it with tools. You can also lift the tank lid and press the flapper down. If the floor is wet, shut off nearby power strips or appliances only if you can do so without standing in water, and keep children out of the bathroom.

For a toilet that rocks, use another bathroom until it is reset if you can, because each use can worsen the seal. For a running toilet, turning the stop off between uses saves water until the part is replaced. Our guide to toilet sweating covers water that appears on the tank itself.

Can a toilet handle be the whole problem?

Sometimes the fix is smaller than it looks. A handle that has to be jiggled after every flush usually has a lift chain that catches on itself or on the flush lever, or a lever arm that has loosened at the tank. When the chain snags, the flapper stays partly open and the toilet runs until someone notices. Kids often learn to jiggle the handle, which hides the problem rather than solving it.

A handle that feels loose or spins freely may have a worn nut inside the tank or a broken lever arm. A handle that needs to be held down to finish a flush often means the chain is too long or the flapper is too heavy for that toilet. Each of these is a quick adjustment or an inexpensive part. We check them during any toilet visit, along with the flapper and fill valve, so you are not calling back a month later for a related issue in the same tank.

Before you call

Royal Palm Beach toilet repair questions, answered

We just put in new tile and now the toilet rocks. Why?

The new floor likely raised the finished surface above the flange. The toilet needs a flange extension or spacer and a new seal, not tighter bolts.

Does Palm Beach County Water Utilities fix running toilets?

No. The County's manual says it does not repair leaks on the owner's side of the meter, which includes toilets.

How do I know my toilet's rough-in size?

Measure from the finished wall to the center of the bolts that hold the toilet down. Most are about 12 inches, but 10 and 14 inch rough-ins exist.

Why does our guest toilet run when nobody uses it?

Flappers in rarely used toilets can harden or warp. A dye test shows whether water is leaking into the bowl.

Which utility serves homes south of Southern Boulevard?

The Village lists Wellington's water utility for residents south of Southern Boulevard. Check your bill to confirm.
