Is Your Toilet Whispering for Help?

Small signs like rocking, gurgling, or water around the base are early red flags.

Imagine your toilet like a chair: if it wobbles, something’s wrong underneath. A shaky toilet may indicate a broken wax seal or flange, which can cause leaks beneath the floor.

Even a slow drip can lead to mold, subfloor rot, and cracked tile over time. According to the EPA, one leaking toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water per day (source).

If you’re spotting any of these issues, don’t wait. Our licensed team can inspect and repair it quickly.

Common Toilet Repairs We Handle in Kirkland

Leaky bases, faulty flush valves, noisy fills, and loose tanks are everyday repairs.

Jason, the owner of Rudy’s Plumbing Inc. (License #RUDYSP1038MA), has over 20 years of experience working with every toilet issue imaginable. From stubborn clogs to invisible leaks, he’s seen it all.

We replace fill valves, wax rings, flanges, tanks, and even reseat misaligned bowls. No patch jobs—just permanent, code-compliant fixes that last.

And if your model is outdated or repair costs are stacking up? Jason will recommend a budget-friendly new toilet installation.

Should You Replace or Repair Your Toilet?

If your toilet is over 10 years old and repairs are frequent, replacement is the smarter option.

Older toilets often use more water per flush, sometimes 3.5 gallons or more, compared to 1.28-gallon WaterSense models.

Upgrading can reduce your water bill by over $100 per year (EPA estimate). Plus, new models come with modern features like dual-flush, pressure-assisted flushing, and sleek designs.

Real Example: A Kirkland Family Saved Their Floors

A customer on Market Street in Kirkland had a toilet leaking for weeks. They thought it was minor until their bathroom floor warped.

Jason found the wax seal had failed, and water had seeped into the subfloor. We removed the toilet, dried the floor cavity, installed a new flange, and reinstalled a dual-flush Kohler unit.

Total time? Less than 4 hours. The customer avoided a costly floor replacement and now saves water daily.
