Older cast-iron flanges in pre-1970 homes rust and break, leaving toilets rocking and wax seals leaking into the ceiling below. We repair flanges properly instead of stacking wax rings — the difference between a fix and a callback.
Constantly running, rocking at the base, phantom flushing, or ready for an efficient new unit — toilet work done right the first time, seal to supply line.
Check exposed pipe near the water heater or under sinks: polybutylene is usually gray (sometimes blue or black), flexible plastic, often stamped 'PB2110.' Homes built 1978–1995 in Fairfax and Arlington counties are prime candidates. If you find it, don't panic — but do get a repipe assessment, because PB fails without warning and many insurers surcharge or decline it.
A running toilet wastes hundreds of gallons a day — real money on municipal water, and on a well it cycles your pump nonstop and can overload a septic drainfield. It's usually a flapper or fill valve: a fast, cheap fix that pays for itself in weeks.
Yes, more than it feels. Rocking breaks the wax seal, letting water seep at the flange every flush — into the subfloor or the ceiling below. Often the flange or its bolts need repair, not just new wax. Fix it before the floor tells you to.
