Toilet Repair in Delmont, NJ
About 70% of homes in Delmont were built before 1990 and 95% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
In Delmont, 95% 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 70% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Delmont’s housing suggests
About 70% of homes in Delmont 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.
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.
