Toilet Repair & Replacement in Beaverton, Oregon
A running toilet wastes up to 200 gallons a day. A leaking wax ring quietly damages your subfloor for months before you notice. A toilet that won't flush right is a daily frustration. True Flow Plumbing handles all of it — same-day in most cases.
Toilet Repair & Replacement for Beaverton Homeowners
Beaverton covers a wide age range of housing, which means toilet problems run the full spectrum. Cedar Hills and Raleigh Hills homes from the 1950s–1960s frequently have original toilets with worn internals or cracked tanks that have been running for decades. Murrayhill and Bethany homes from the 1990s–2000s more commonly call us for running toilets, weak flush from a partially clogged trap, or a toilet that rocks because the wax ring has failed.
🚽 Running Toilet
The most common toilet call. A worn flapper or failed fill valve is usually the cause — parts cost a few dollars and the repair takes under an hour. A running toilet wastes 200+ gallons a day, so fixing it fast pays off.
💧 Wax Ring Leak
If you see water around the base of the toilet or the floor feels soft nearby, the wax ring has likely failed. Left alone, it causes subfloor rot and mold. We reset the toilet with a new wax ring and inspect the floor below.
🔧 Weak or Incomplete Flush
A toilet that needs two flushes or leaves waste behind usually has a partial clog in the trap, a low water level in the tank, or a flapper that closes too quickly. We diagnose the actual cause before recommending parts.
🪠 Clogged Toilet
A standard plunger doesn't always clear a stubborn clog. We use a closet auger to clear blockages that are deeper in the trap or the drain line without damaging the porcelain.
🔩 Toilet Installation
New construction, bathroom remodel, or replacing an old inefficient unit — we install all brands and handle the wax ring, supply line, and shutoff valve as part of the job.
♿ Comfort Height Upgrade
ADA-height toilets (17–19 inches) are significantly more comfortable for most adults and essential for accessibility. A straightforward swap that makes a noticeable difference in daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Repair or replace — how do I decide for my Beaverton home?
If the toilet is under 15–20 years old and the problem is a worn flapper or fill valve, repair makes sense. If it's an old high-flow unit using 3–5 gallons per flush, has cracked porcelain, or has caused moisture damage from a failed wax ring, replacement is usually the smarter investment. We'll give you an honest recommendation either way.
Can you install a toilet I already bought?
Yes — we install owner-supplied toilets regularly. Make sure your rough-in measurement is 12 inches (standard) before purchasing. We handle the wax ring, supply line, shutoff valve, and make sure everything seats and seals correctly.
What causes a toilet to keep running in Beaverton?
The most common causes are a worn flapper that doesn't seal fully, a fill valve that doesn't shut off at the correct water level, or a float that's set too high and sends water into the overflow tube. All are inexpensive repairs — the problem is most homeowners don't notice until they see an unusually high water bill.
How long does toilet repair take?
Most toilet repairs — flapper, fill valve, wax ring reset, or supply line replacement — are done in under an hour. Full replacement installs typically take 1–2 hours including cleanup. We'll give you a time estimate before we start.
