Toilet Repair & Installation

Running, Leaking or Clogged Toilet? We Can Help.

A toilet that won’t stop running, keeps clogging, or starts leaking can quickly become more than a minor annoyance. Colorado Green Plumbing provides professional toilet repair, replacement, and installation for homeowners throughout Erie, Longmont, Boulder, and surrounding communities.

Our plumbers will diagnose the problem, explain what we find, and help you decide whether to repair or replace the toilet.

If you're having problems with a toilet that clogs or runs constantly, our plumbers can help you resolve the issue. We can diagnose the problem and then either repair or replace the toilet, depending on its severity.

Common Toilet Problems We Repair

Not every toilet problem means you need a new toilet. Many issues can be repaired quickly once the source of the problem is identified.

We can help with:

• Toilets that run constantly
• Toilets that won’t flush properly
• Frequent or recurring clogs
• Leaks around the base of the toilet
• Toilets that rock or move
• Weak or incomplete flushing
• Toilets that refill unexpectedly
• Leaking supply lines or shutoff valves
• Worn flappers, fill valves, and internal components
• Wax ring and seal problems

If the problem may be farther down the drain or sewer line rather than in the toilet itself, we can help identify that too.

Repairing a toilet is usually related to either a clog or a leak.  If your toilet regularly clogs, then there is probably an obstruction in the trap, down the drain pipe, or possibly in the main sewer line.  A toilet that runs excessively can waste over 150 gallons of water daily, which can hurt your pocketbook.  Whatever the problem is, we can help diagnose it and provide a solution.  

Should You Repair or Replace Your Toilet?

Sometimes a simple repair is all that is needed. Other times, putting more money into an older or damaged toilet may not make much sense.

Replacement may be worth considering if:

• The toilet bowl or tank is cracked
• The toilet requires frequent repairs
• It clogs repeatedly even after repairs
• The toilet is loose because of damage around the mounting area
• Replacement parts are difficult to find
• You want a more water-efficient toilet
• You are remodeling or updating your bathroom

We’ll give you straightforward information about your toilet's condition so you can choose the option that best fits your home and budget.

Toilet Installation & Replacement

Whether your old toilet has reached the end of its life or you simply want an upgrade, Colorado Green can professionally install your new toilet and make sure everything is properly connected, sealed, and tested.

Older toilets can also use considerably more water than newer models. WaterSense-labeled toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, compared with approximately 3.5 gallons per flush for many toilets installed between 1980 and 1994.

When choosing a replacement, we can help you understand options such as:

• Standard-height and comfort-height toilets
• Round-front and elongated bowls
• Single-flush and dual-flush models
• Water-efficient toilets
• Different styles and price ranges

Why Homeowners Choose Colorado Green

Toilet Repair & Installation FAQs

Why does my toilet keep running?

A constantly running toilet is often caused by a worn flapper, fill valve, improperly adjusted float, or another component inside the tank. Because a running toilet can waste a significant amount of water, it is worth having the problem repaired rather than ignoring it.

Why does my toilet keep clogging?

Recurring clogs can be caused by the toilet itself, an obstruction in the toilet trap, or a problem farther down the drain line. If plunging only temporarily fixes the problem, a plumber can help determine the cause.

Why is water leaking around the bottom of my toilet?

Water around the base can indicate a failed wax ring or another problem with the toilet connection. Because water can damage flooring and the structure underneath it, a leak around the toilet should be inspected promptly.

Is it better to repair or replace an old toilet?

It depends on the problem and the condition of the toilet. A minor internal repair may be inexpensive and worthwhile, while a cracked, inefficient, or frequently malfunctioning toilet may be better replaced. We'll explain both options when applicable.

Can you install a toilet that I purchased myself?

Yes. If you have already purchased a toilet, Colorado Green can professionally install it for you. We can also help you determine whether the toilet you've selected will work properly in your space.

Do newer toilets really use less water?

Yes. Many older toilets use substantially more water per flush. WaterSense-labeled toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less while meeting performance requirements for flushing efficiency.
