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.

Austin did an awesome job on my gas water heater replacement! He also replaced my main water valve shut off. His work was top notch. Austin explained what he would be doing and went over his work when he was done. He cleaned up the area once his work was completed – just beautiful! I would highly recommend Austin and Gene Johnson for your plumbing needs!
Thanks Austin – appreciate your hard work!!

Gene Johnson Plumbing is fabulous! We called regarding mysterious noises in our pipes and they were able to send someone out the same day. Jaren was outstanding! He patiently listened to our descriptions, checked several possible causes, provided us with a few options, and ultimately fixed the problem. He was clearly experienced, communicated clearly, and was unfailingly polite. We are so happy with Jaren and Gene Johnson Plumbing!

Tara’s replaced my hot water heater and I must say, his work is exceptional. He walked me through the process and was very knowledgeable of the work. I would recommend Tara’s to anyone. Very nice and very enjoyable to talk to.

Gene Johnson plumbing was great. Marco came by and and fixed my problem quickly and professionally. I had some questions around my mainline functionality, that were not mentioned in my original request. He helped me right away and I was able to get valuable information on that front as well.

Called to get leaky water tank replaced. The team sent Jeff over and performed way above any expectation… He is a great tech but mostly a wonderful human being. He was clear and complete in his communications. Helpful and thoughtful the whole way through. Great guy! His knowledge and professionalism shines in what he does, and does well. I have his card and will not ever hesitate to reach out, for anything that may come up in the future. Jeff leads in representing what I like to call “old school” approach to customer service and managing any task or service he provides, from simple to complex. You got a winner there, for sure!

Our Plumber was Justin, he was great
Jessica Gardner
Mark O. came to my home today to inspect my plumbing and water heater. He was very professional and made sure I understood all of the problematic things that he found and what it would cost to address them. He even took a little extra time to explain things to my very curious 6 year old that insisted on following him around throughout his entire inspection. We highly recommend Gene Johnson for all of their services and if you can, ask for Mark to come do your water inspection/repair!
