A toilet that won't stop, a floor that won't dry

The leak goes under the floor
A failed wax ring leaks under the base into the subfloor and the ceiling below.
A bathroom nobody trusts

A toilet that flushes once and stays dry
Grand Rapids homeowners and business owners get a toilet that fills once, flushes clean and sits dry and level on the floor. The running stops, the floor around the base stays dry, and the next quarterly water bill drops back to normal use.
A running toilet wastes 200 gallons or more every day it runs.

Toilet Repair Questions
How Much Does Toilet Repair Cost vs. Replacing the Toilet?
A part repair costs less than a new toilet when the porcelain is sound. A 2026 Michigan cost guide puts a flapper or fill valve repair at $100–$200 and a toilet replacement at $250–$600, and HomeBlue's Grand Rapids page puts a wax ring replacement at $150–$220. Replacement pays back in water: EPA WaterSense puts the savings from replacing old toilets at nearly 13,000 gallons and more than $170 a year for a family. A running toilet wastes 200 gallons or more a day (EPA), about $67 of water a quarter at Grand Rapids' 2026 rate.
What Are the Signs a Toilet Needs Repair?
- The tank keeps refilling or hisses between flushes
- Water appears at the base after a flush
- The toilet rocks when someone sits on it
- Flushes run weak or clog again and again
- Color reaches the bowl in a dye test without a flush
- The water bill climbs with no change in use
What Does Toilet Repair Involve?
The work starts with a call or form request to the 24/7 line. When a toilet overflows, the plumber walks the caller through closing the stop valve behind it, or the main valve next to the meter; Grand Rapids requires a valve on each side of it. On site, the plumber dye-tests the tank, checks the base, bolts and flange, and checks the supply line and stop valve. The plumber explains the repair before starting, replaces the failed part or resets the toilet on a new seal, installs an anti-siphon fill valve as the Water System requires, and test-flushes until the tank seals and the base stays dry. Grand Rapids Michigan Plumber pulls permits where the city requires them, such as when a toilet moves.
