Toilet Repair in Lexington, IN
Lexington is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 63% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 90% of the occupied homes in Lexington. 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. At 63% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Lexington’s housing suggests
About 63% of homes in Lexington predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

What is actually wrong with it
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
