Toilet Repair in Wenonah, NJ
Wenonah is an owner-occupied town with old housing: 85% of homes here went up before 1990, and 90% of households own the one they are in.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 90% of the occupied homes in Wenonah. 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. With 85% of the housing built before 1990, a fixture predating the 1.6 gallon standard may still be in place; the figure describes the building rather than the bathroom.

What the age of Wenonah’s housing suggests
Housing in Wenonah is mostly older than the standard: 85% of it went up before 1990. A toilet fitted when those homes were built used at least twice what a current one does.
Whether the original is still there is a different question, and the only way to settle it is to look at the fixture.

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.
