Running Toilets Waste Water Every Single Hour

Marble Falls Plumbing LLC repairs leaking, running, and clogged toilets throughout Marble Falls.

Your toilet runs constantly, or you hear refilling sounds long after flushing, and that means water is draining from the tank into the bowl without stopping. This wastes hundreds of gallons each month and drives up your utility bills. In Marble Falls, older toilets often have worn flappers or corroded fill valves that fail to seal completely, causing the tank to refill repeatedly.


Marble Falls Plumbing LLC repairs all common toilet issues, including running water, weak flushes, tank leaks, and clogs that do not clear with a plunger. We replace fill valves, flappers, flush handles, and tank seals as needed, and we fix the wax ring under the base if water appears around the floor. All repairs restore proper flushing performance and stop water waste.


If your toilet is wasting water or not flushing correctly in Marble Falls, contact us to schedule a repair.

Most failures happen inside the tank or at the base seal

We start by removing the tank lid and inspecting the flapper, fill valve, and overflow tube to identify where water is escaping or refilling incorrectly. In Marble Falls homes, mineral buildup often prevents the flapper from sealing, and adjusting the chain or replacing the rubber component usually solves the issue within minutes.


After the repair, your toilet will stop running between flushes, the tank will refill to the correct level and shut off, and you will not hear trickling or hissing sounds from the bowl. Water will no longer pool around the base if the wax seal was the problem.


We also clear clogs using an auger when a plunger does not work, and we check the bowl trapway for obstructions that slow drainage. The repair does not include replacing the entire toilet unless the porcelain is cracked or the internal damage is too extensive to fix with parts. You should expect the work to take 30 minutes to an hour depending on what needs replacement.

Most homeowners want to know what is fixable before replacing the toilet

Toilet repairs raise practical questions about what parts fail most often, how long fixes last, and when replacement makes more sense than another repair.


  • What causes a toilet to run continuously? A running toilet usually means the flapper is not sealing or the fill valve is not shutting off. We inspect both components, clean the valve seat, and replace worn parts to stop water from flowing into the bowl.
  • How long do toilet repair parts last? Flappers and fill valves typically last three to five years, but hard water in Marble Falls can shorten that lifespan. We use durable replacement parts designed to resist mineral buildup and extend the time between repairs.
  • Why does water leak from the base of the toilet? Water at the base usually indicates a failed wax ring or loose bolts. We remove the toilet, replace the wax seal, and reinstall it with a secure connection to the flange to stop the leak.
  • What should I do if the toilet flushes weakly? Weak flushing often results from clogged rim jets, a low water level in the tank, or a worn flapper that opens too slowly. We clear the jets, adjust the fill valve, or replace the flapper to restore full flushing power.
  • When should I replace the toilet instead of repairing it? Replacement makes sense if the porcelain is cracked, the toilet rocks on an uneven flange, or you are dealing with repeated failures in a unit over 20 years old. We explain your options after inspecting the toilet and the floor connection.
