Toilet Repair in Meally, KY
About 68% of homes in Meally were built before 1990 and 89% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 89% of the occupied homes in Meally. 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 68% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Meally’s housing suggests
Meally straddles the line: 68% of its housing units were built before 1990, when the Energy Policy Act of 1992 set the 1.6 gallon maximum, and the rest since.
So the housing stock genuinely does not predict the fixture here, and the date inside the tank lid is worth more than any figure on this page.

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.
