Toilet Repair in Conway, SC

Newer housing and mixed tenure: 39% of homes in Conway were built before 1990, and 24% of households rent.

Short version

76% of occupied homes in Conway are owner-occupied and 24% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

Tank and Bowl is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We carry out no work, we sell no fixtures, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

What the age of Conway’s housing suggests

Only 39% of housing units in Conway were built before 1990. In a town like this the interesting question is not how much water the fixture uses but why a relatively new one is misbehaving.

Usually the answer is the flapper or the fill valve, both of which wear on a schedule of their own regardless of how new the house is.

What is actually wrong with it

Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.

Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
