Toilet Repair in Antrim, NH
In Antrim, 81% of households own their home, and the housing splits fairly evenly either side of 1990 — 74% of it is older than that.
Short version
In Antrim, 81% 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 74% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Antrim’s housing suggests
Antrim straddles the line: 74% 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
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
