Toilet Repair in Neon, KY
In Neon, 82% of households own their home, and the housing splits fairly evenly either side of 1990 — 73% of it is older than that.
Short version
In Neon, 82% 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 73% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Neon’s housing suggests
About 73% of homes in Neon 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
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.
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.
