Toilet Repair in Mullins, SC
Neither figure in Mullins points one way. 58% of the housing was built before 1990 and 39% of households are renting.
Short version
61% of occupied homes in Mullins are owner-occupied and 39% 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 58% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Mullins’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
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
