Usually a worn flapper or fill valve — an easy fix that stops a real drain on your water bill.
Mineral buildup in the rim jets or a failing flush valve are the most common culprits.
Often a sign of a worn wax ring or a subfloor issue — worth addressing before it leaks.
Water pooling around the base almost always means the wax ring seal has failed.
Older low-flow models from the 1990s and early 2000s often don't clear waste as well as current designs.
A hairline crack won't get better on its own — replacement is the only real fix.
Many Sugar Land homes — especially in the established sections of New Territory and First Colony dating back to the 1990s and earlier — still have their original toilets. Those older units use significantly more water per flush than current models and are more prone to weak flush performance as internal parts wear out. If your toilet is over 15-20 years old and giving you recurring trouble, replacing it with a modern low-flow model often pays for itself in water savings within a few years, on top of ending the repeat service calls.
If a leak at the base points to a failed wax ring, that's also worth confirming isn't actually a slab leak showing up nearby — see our slab leak page if you're also seeing warm spots or bill spikes unrelated to an obvious toilet leak.
A running toilet can waste anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand gallons a day depending on severity — it's one of the highest-impact "small" repairs you can make.
A standard toilet swap is typically a same-visit job, usually completed in under two hours including removal of the old unit and disposal.
