Toilet Repair in Cedarville, IL
Most homes in Cedarville were built before 1990 and most of them are owner-occupied, which is the combination where a toilet is both likely to be old and definitely yours to deal with.
Short version
In Cedarville, 93% 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. Housing there is 84% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Cedarville’s housing suggests
Cedarville is old housing by this measure — 84% of its 361 housing units predate 1990, and 29% were built before 1940. Anything installed new in those homes was a pre-standard fixture at 3.5 gallons or more, against 1.6 today.
Plenty of them have been changed since, and this data cannot tell you whether yours has. It tells you what the odds are for the street rather than the room.

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.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
