Toilet Repair in La Salle, CO
La Salle is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 69% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
In La Salle, 86% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. At 69% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of La Salle’s housing suggests
Roughly 69% of housing here predates 1990 and 27% was built from 2000 onwards, so La Salle has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
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.
