Our Comprehensive Toilet Repair Services in Seattle, WA
When a toilet starts acting strange, most people would rather not poke around to figure out what is wrong. That is where we come in. Our team handles everything from minor issues to complex repair work, so your bathroom stays in good shape and fully functional.
Common Toilet Problems We Fix in Seattle Homes
Toilets can fail for all sorts of reasons. Some problems feel small at first but can turn into costly water damage if ignored. We help with any toilet issue you can imagine, restoring a properly functioning toilet quickly and safely.
- Weak or incomplete flush that leaves waste behind and usually points to tank or valve trouble.
- Water pooling around the base caused by worn wax rings or loose bolts that allow leaks to escape.
- Constant running noise that drives up water bills due to a faulty flapper or fill valve.
- A clogged toilet that keeps backing up and may require deeper inspection of the drain line.
- A broken toilet handle that prevents consistent flushing and needs a simple but important fix.
- Slow or delayed tank refill tied to pressure problems or a malfunctioning fill system.
- Toilet leaks inside the tank that happen when internal parts are worn or misaligned.
- A cracked bowl or tank that compromises safety and usually calls for replacement.
- No water inside the tank due to a malfunctioning float mechanism or other causes
Even minor toilet repairs matter because small leaks or inefficient flush systems can create real trouble over time. We help homeowners avoid bigger headaches with fast, efficient repair services and a team equipped with the right tools for the job.

Gene Johnson’s Toilet Installation & Replacement Process for Seattle Homeowners
Installing a new toilet should never feel complicated. Our team follows a clear process, giving you comfort and confidence from start to finish.
- Initial inspection and discussion to understand what is wrong with your current setup, what you want from a new toilet, and whether repair or replacement makes the most sense.
- Removal of the old toilet with careful handling to avoid any water damage or mess during the transition.
- Preparing the area where we check the flange, pressure line, and surrounding flooring to ensure the new toilet will be supported and sealed properly.
- Professional toilet installation with attention to detail so everything lines up, secures tightly, and connects to the plumbing system without leaks.
- Testing the flush and tank operation to confirm strong performance, no leaks, and smooth operation before we leave.
- Final cleanup and guidance where we answer any questions, review how to maintain the new toilet, and make sure you are fully satisfied.
When work is done methodically, the process is smooth, efficient, and reassuring for homeowners. Our technicians show up equipped and ready so the transition to a new toilet is simple and stress-free.
How Do I Know if My Toilet Needs to Be Repaired or Replaced?
Most toilets can last for many years, but repeated problems often signal that it is time to consider a full toilet replacement. If you keep dealing with leaks, cracks in the tank or bowl, constant clogs, or rising water bills due to inefficiency, those signs usually mean the toilet has reached the end of its lifespan. Repair can be a good short-term fix, but replacement often saves money in the long run because modern toilets use far less water and perform better. Our technicians walk you through the cost comparison so you can choose what makes sense for your home without pressure or upselling.
What Causes a Toilet to Leak Around the Base?
Water around the base usually means the wax ring seal is worn or damaged. However, there are other causes worth checking.
Common sources include:
- Loose mounting bolts that allow the toilet to shift
- Cracks in the bowl where water escapes slowly
- A damaged flange that no longer supports the toilet
- Incorrect installation of previous repairs
Even small leaks can cause costly water damage to flooring and subflooring. We identify the source quickly and recommend the safest and most efficient repair.
How Long Does a Toilet Installation Take?
Most installations take a couple of hours, although older homes or previous improper installations can add a little time. The process involves turning off the water, removing the older unit, checking the flange and pressure line, positioning the new toilet, securing everything, and testing the flush. We also make sure the seal is perfect so you avoid future leaks. You can expect your plumber to arrive on schedule and work efficiently so your bathroom is back in action without a long interruption. Our goal is convenience and a properly installed toilet that performs from day one.
What Are the Benefits of Upgrading to a Modern Toilet?
Newer toilets offer several advantages that go beyond looks.
The most common benefits include:
- Better flushing power with less wasted water
- Reduced water bills thanks to improved efficiency
- Quieter operation that fits today’s bathroom expectations
- Cleaner designs that make maintenance easier
- Dual flush options that help conserve water
Modern fixtures use smarter engineering and more effective designs. When combined with expert toilet installation, the upgrade often feels like a noticeable improvement in daily comfort.
Can a Running Toilet Cause Serious Problems?
Yes, a constantly running toilet might seem harmless, but it can waste hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water over time. That means your water bills climb without you noticing. The nonstop flow also puts unnecessary strain on the internal parts, which can lead to more breakdowns and additional repair work. Sometimes, a running toilet is caused by a worn flapper, a misaligned float, or sediment buildup that prevents parts from sealing. These are usually simple fixes when handled early. Waiting too long increases the chance of leaks, wasted water, and a breakdown that could turn into a toilet emergency. Professional toilet repair keeps small issues from becoming expensive problems.

Had Justen come out for a faucet replacement. He was great and quick. The only thing is Gene Johnsons prices seem to be higher and higher. It was a surprise to me that when they replaced a toliet with one I bought, to take out the old and install a new one was $1016. That did not include the new hose and valve. Those little things have to be replaced too and that doesn’t bother me as much. But high to just install a Glacier Bay toliet with nothing fancy.
Gary and Karen Cone
Particularly liked our installer, Matthew who went above and beyond and beyond.
Stephanie McBee
Mark Ochoa worked hard, was knowledgeable, and stuck with a very difficult job. We are very satisfied!
Conney Vernall
Tyler’s team, Greg & Rory were amazing! Everything was done efficiently, they even backfilled the holes with fresh soil, put seeds on top, poured concrete in the garage and cleaned up their mess, this is way more than what I asked for. Nothing but praise from me, thank you again!
Gloria Leach
Excellent service and workmanship as always. Won’t use any other company for plumbing and electrical work!
Emma Brillhart
Chandler Price came out to fix a leaking pipe under the sink. He was super quick and very communicative. Would absolutely work with him again in the future!

Needed to replace bathtub faucet from leaking. It was looking like I would need to replace the surround on my tub because of old style fixtures and molding on the surround. The guy had the same type fixtures on truck, which normally would take a couple of weeks to get in, as I was also told by another company. Had job done that day. The guys did a fantastic job. They explained everything they were doing and even saved me some money. I would highly recommend.
Daryl Imburgia
Steven and Joe did a great job for us today. Didn’t try and over charge us. Gave us quotes for all options. And then found out the problem was an easy fix and took care of it quickly.
VeenaM Arani
Excellent work by Andrew! He is very friendly and accommodating. Great job. Would recommend to others.
Lynnda Laurie
I wanted to invest in a tankless hot water heater. My current heater was still working, but I wanted the replacement done before it was an emergency. Colby gave me a bid that was significantly lower than a competitor. He and Hugo got the job done with such professionalism. They were both so pleasant and professional. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!
Kate Burdick
Had an external shower leak/hose and Gene J. sent someone out in just a few hrs. Rene Garcia was awesome, clear on (3) options (and prices) and got it working. Even drove up to Home Depot quickly to get the part. Thank you for excellent customer service!
Ron N
2/11/26: Mark O. came out and did a thorough review of our plumbing system. The water heater was drained per the maintenance program. He also gave us pricing estimates on updating various components not up to the current standards. Mark is knowledgeable and personable — a pleasure to work with.
Bernie Kinimaka
Justin took care of our plumbing needs. Professional, clearly offered other service options as well. Thank you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review for Gene Johnson Plumbing
I cannot say enough good things about Mike K. Mike K spent hours here working extremely hard and never once gave up. He was literally sweating and did everything in his power to resolve a very difficult toilet clog. I have honestly never met a more honest, hardworking plumber than Mike K.
What stood out most was that he was determined to get the job taken care of today for Mike K — it was about doing the right thing. He thoroughly explained all the options, called his supervisors when he had questions, and approached everything with professionalism, integrity, and care. Mike K truly went above and beyond.
Because of Mike K’s incredible service, I will be using Gene Johnson Plumbing for the rest of my life. I will also be referring Gene Johnson to all of my friends, family, and colleagues without hesitation. This level of service is rare.
Mike K is not only an outstanding plumber, but a genuinely great person and an absolute asset to whatever team he is working on. He is the kind of professional you call and immediately know you are in good hands.
Thank you so much, Mike K, and thank you Gene Johnson Plumbing for employing such an exceptional individual. I cannot recommend you highly enough.

Great experience. Joseph was very professional and clearly an expert. He patiently answered all of my questions in depth and provided great insights.
Don Ripley
Noah visited our house for an emergency issue when our water heater failed and was severely leaking. Fortunately we caught before much damage was done. He had a prompt response on a Friday, clearly explained all our options, verified availability of all the necessary parts, removed and replaced everything same day… was amazing and greatly appreciated. He was very friendly and extremely professional throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

Gene Johnson Plumbing has consistently demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and a genuine care for their craft and customers. Living in a home built in the early 1900s, I understand the importance of having a trustworthy plumber.
A special shoutout goes to the plumbers who have provided services in my home over the past six months to rectify previous plumbers’ mistakes.
Most recently, Andrew Bell Morgan stood out. He explained each step clearly, presented multiple options to solve the issue, considering cost, aesthetics, and potential savings. He ensured I understood the pros and cons of each option.
Hugo Lira Hernandez deserves another mention. He went above and beyond to provide clear access to my water shut-off valves, which were previously obstructed by various tubes and wires. It only took him a few minutes to untangle and secure the valves with a metal zip tie or two. This attention to detail, even though it took an extra minute, reflects his commitment to making things better for the future.

Sean was amazing with taylor plumping today.! He made sure all my concerns were taken care of. He was polite, professional and personable. So glad I work with Taylor heating and plumbing

So happy I called these guys! Already did another review under my other email address but it’s worth repeating.
I had an estimate from a different company but ended up cancelling after being jerked around. Called BelRed and was able to set up three different appointments, todays being to look at and repair a leaky pipe. Something the other guys couldn’t find btw.
Anyway – Andrew came out, introduced himself, figured out where the leak was and quickly provided me an estimate as well as a timeframe for completion.
Work was done quickly, quietly and on time. Andrew had shown me pictures and videos of the before and also of the after and made sure to test the leak was fixed (and explained what happened and why).
It’s never easy spending money unexpectedly but helps when the company and the person who comes out to do the work gives a great first impression.
