Toilet Repair in Wallingford, KY
About 46% of homes in Wallingford were built before 1990 and 91% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
In Wallingford, 91% 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 splits either side of 1990 at 46% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Wallingford’s housing suggests

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.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
