Toilet Repair in Florence, AZ

Florence is a new town by the standards of this data — 20% of housing built before 1990 — with 85% of households owning their home.

Short version

Owner-occupiers hold 85% of the occupied homes in Florence. For most households there the toilet is theirs outright, so the repair can be arranged directly without a landlord, an agent or a lease in the way. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

Tank and Bowl is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We carry out no work, we sell no fixtures, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

What the age of Florence’s housing suggests

20% of Florence’s housing predates 1990 — a small share. Most homes here were built under the 1.6 gallon maximum, so the fault is far more likely to be a part than the fixture.

As everywhere, this dates the house. A toilet can be replaced with an older one, and occasionally is.

What is actually wrong with it

Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.

If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
