Toilet Repair in Waddell, AZ
Only 20% of homes in Waddell predate 1990. At 92% owner-occupied, this is a town where the fixture is probably modern and the decision is definitely yours.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 92% of the occupied homes in Waddell. 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.

What the age of Waddell’s housing suggests
With only 20% of homes built before 1990, Waddell is a town of modern fixtures. EPA’s WaterSense label goes further than the standard at 1.28 gallons per flush.
The figure is about construction dates rather than what is bolted to the floor, but in a town this new the two are less likely to have diverged.

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.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
