If you are looking for a toilet repair or replacement service, reach out to the team at Covenant Plumbing. Our local experts based in Bloomington, Illinois, are ready to provide excellent local plumbing services for your home.

Common Toilet Issues

The most common toilet issues may seem minor but often require timely repairs. Some common toilet issues are:

  • Running water
  • Constantly refilling tank
  • Leaks around the base
  • Improper flushing

These issues can waste water and impact utility bills. We recommend committing to prompt repairs as soon as you notice an issue with your toilet. A timely repair can prevent the problem from worsening and needing a more extensive (and expensive) repair service later.

DIY or Professional Help?

Often, homeowners are unsure whether they can complete repairs themselves. There are certainly some toilet repairs that homeowners can complete without calling a professional, like replacing a flapper or adjusting the flush valve.

However, more complex issues do require plumbers. If there are clogs or leaks you cannot locate, a professional can help identify and repair them quickly. A professional plumber can also diagnose the root cause of your toilet plumbing problem and repair it before it impacts other aspects of your home’s system.

Attempting some repairs on your own may cause further damage to your systems, requiring professional help anyway. Calling for professional service in the first place will save you time, stress, and money. Additionally, many major repairs can be dangerous without proper training and licensure; seeking help from a licensed plumber keeps you safe.

Signs You May Benefit From a Replacement

If possible, many homeowners prefer repairing a toilet instead of replacing it. We understand completely, which is why we perform repair services with the long-term functionality of your toilet in mind.

However, sometimes a complete replacement makes the most sense. Replacing a toilet with a new water-saving and energy-efficient model can save you money long-term by reducing your utility costs, electric bills, and need for repairs.

There are a couple of key signs that may indicate it is time to consider a replacement for your toilet:

  • Frequent repairs
  • Cracks in the porcelain
  • Persistent leaks
  • Frequent clogs
  • Outdated models with high energy costs

If your toilet is experiencing any of these issues, reach out to our team for an honest recommendation about repairs vs. a replacement.

Environmental Impact and Water Conservation

Replacing an old toilet with a new, energy-efficient model can significantly reduce water consumption, which is good for both the environment and your pocketbook. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), toilets are the main source of water use in homes, making up almost 30% of the average home’s water usage.

Some older models use almost six gallons of water per flush, whereas newer, more efficient models use 1.28 gallons of water per flush or less. Over time, the difference a more efficient model can have in your home’s water consumption is significant.

Many towns and municipalities offer rebates or other incentives to upgrade to water-saving fixtures like new toilet models, meaning that upgrading to a new model can save you money in both the short term and long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common toilet repair?

The most common toilet repairs are clogs and leaks. You may be able to perform some repairs on your own; however, you should leave major repairs to a professional. If you aren’t sure, contact the team at Covenant Plumbing to learn more.

Is it cheaper to replace a toilet than to repair it?

It may be cheaper to replace your toilet than repair it, depending on the age of the toilet, its efficiency, and the frequency of repairs it needs. A professional plumber can help you determine whether replacement is the right choice for you.

What is the life expectancy of a toilet?

The life expectancy of a toilet is around 25 years, give or take a few years. Frequent, diligent toilet maintenance and toilet repairs can help extend the lifespan.

Why does my toilet keep running after flushing?

A running toilet is often caused by a faulty flapper valve that fails to seal properly, allowing water to continuously flow from the tank to the bowl. Replacing the flapper valve is usually the solution. Other causes can include a faulty fill valve, which may need adjustment or replacement.

We a positive experience with Covenant Plumbing. Our hot water heater went out after hours. I called Covenant's 24 hour hot line and made an appointment. Promptly the next morning, Cameron and Christopher arrived at our home. In a short period of time, they provided me with the information required to remedy the situation. The same day they installed a tank less water heater and we had hot water the same day! Cameron and Christopher were very respectful of our property and extremely great to work with. In the future, I will not hesitate to call Covenant if plumbing problems arise.Mike Mounce

Professional, communicative, and thorough. We had a basement drain/sewer clog caused by roots imm the pipe leading to the street sewer. Ended up at around a $3k job.My only complaint is that as the job progressed, it would of been nice to see some of the smaller charges here and there waved as their profit margins increased with the size of the job.

We were very pleased with both of the technicians, Cameron and Matt. They came well prepared to address the several issues that we were dealing with. I had called in and spoke with Amanda who did a great job of documenting all of our problems. For each job we received a quote for our approval. We were update throughout their visit with progress and explanation on the work done. Very fair and professional experience. Great job!

Everyone we have had contact with has been so friendly. A few months ago Jordan installed a sump pump for us. Today he installed a toilet and a whole house shut off valve. He always explained to us what he was doing. Will be contacting again for other plumbing projects.

We've used Covenant multiple times and they are fantastic. First, you call and get a real person. Amanda is super friendly and helpful! Then they keep you up to date via email and text. A text with some info about the tech coming to your house along with a picture is a great touch. Finally, the techs are knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to share what is happening. The whole experience is 5 star worthy.

We recently had a water/sewer related emergency in our basement that caused a lot of damage and needed to be addressed immediately. Covenant Plumbing responded to our call within an hour or two, corrected the cause of the backup & helped us locate a business that does cleanup & remediation of the damage. Cameron, one of their plumbers (as well as other employees), served as our primary contact & was so very helpful in addressing our problems.Since then we have needed to replace/repair other plumbing fixtures & contacted Covenant Plumbing to do the work. As before, they responded quickly & accommodated the dates we requested work to be done. We asked specifically for Cameron to do the plumbing since he had been so professional & helpful before & we were very happy with the results.We highly recommend Covenant Plumbing & will continue to use them (& to ask for Cameron) for any of our plumbing needs.Betty & Gary Beatty

Found Covenant Plumbing online. Called them for a non-emergency issue and requested a service call at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon for my Mother in law. Scheduled for the following Monday afternoon. Received a text Monday morning asking if ok to come early. Of course. It was a easy fix. Colton and his partner (sorry, didn't catch his name) were great. Speedy service, fair pricing and good advice. Couldn't ask for any better. Thank you!!!

Water heater replacement project. Scheduled for install very easily and quickly. Technicians Shane and Chris were great! Answered all of my questions and did a great job on the install.

Shane installed a whole house filter in my basement last Wednesday. On Friday, I saw that there was water under the filter and along the wall. I mistakenly assumed that the filter was leaking. It was the Friday afternoon before Labor Day, and when I called, they said they couldn’t come to check it until Tuesday. I asked if they didn’t have any emergency appointments, and she said, yes, they would get in touch with Shane and send him over. Almost immediately after I hung up, Shane was at my door. He immediately found the source of the problem, and it had nothing to do with his installation. A drain near the place the filter had been installed was plugged, and the water from the air conditioner was backing up. Shane removed the drain cover, got his snake drill, and opened the drain so that the water all went down. He was actually on his way home to leave for a weekend vacation, but he took the time to come and solve my problem, even though it was not caused by him or the filter he installed. Best of all, he did not charge me for this service. What great customer service!

I have used Covenant Plumbing for all of my plumbing needs for the last 8 years. Delayne and Lori are very responsive, trust worthy and reasonable. They installed a tankless water heater at my house. The unit itself had issues from the start and after contacting Delayne about the issues, they worked with the manufacturer to get a full unit replacement at no cost to me. I happily recommend Covenant to anyone with plumbing needs.
