Toilet Repair & Replacement in Tualatin, Oregon
A running toilet, a rocking toilet, or one that needs two flushes every time is more than an annoyance — it's wasting water and, in the case of a rocking toilet, potentially damaging your floor. True Flow Plumbing repairs and replaces toilets throughout Tualatin.
Toilet Service in Tualatin
Tualatin's mix of housing ages creates a mix of toilet situations. Older downtown-adjacent homes from the 1980s have high-flow toilets using 3.5–5 gallons per flush — a meaningful water use reduction opportunity when replaced with modern 1.28 gpf models. Newer Martinazzi and Bridgeport-area homes from the 2000s have builder-grade low-flow toilets that are reaching the flapper and fill valve replacement window at 20+ years.
🚽 Running Toilet Repair
Fill valve and flapper replacement is the fix for most running toilets. A toilet that runs constantly can waste 200 gallons per day — we fix it fast.
🔧 Flush Valve Replacement
When the flush valve seat is damaged or the overflow tube is set wrong, the toilet runs even after a new flapper is installed. We diagnose and fix the actual cause.
🏠 Toilet Replacement
Full toilet removal and installation — new wax ring, new supply line, new shutoff valve if needed. We haul the old toilet away.
💧 Comfort Height Upgrades
Standard toilets sit at 15 inches — comfort height models at 17–19 inches are significantly easier to use for taller adults and anyone with mobility considerations.
🔩 Wax Ring & Seal Replacement
A toilet that rocks at the base or leaks at the floor has a failed wax ring. Left unaddressed, it damages the subfloor. We re-seat and reseal in a single visit.
🐌 Weak Flush Diagnosis
A weak flush is usually mineral buildup under the rim jets or a partially clogged trap. We clear it without replacing the toilet unless the toilet itself is the problem.
Common Toilet Problems in Tualatin Homes

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my toilet in Tualatin constantly running?
A constantly running toilet is almost always a worn flapper or a malfunctioning fill valve — the two components that control the tank refill cycle. A flapper that doesn't seal fully allows water to continuously leak into the bowl, triggering the fill valve to keep running. Both are straightforward repairs that can be done in under an hour, and the water savings are immediate — a running toilet can waste 200 gallons per day.
Is it worth repairing or replacing a toilet in Tualatin?
If the toilet is less than 15 years old and the porcelain is in good shape, repair is usually the right call — a new fill valve, flapper, or flush valve brings it back to full function for a fraction of replacement cost. If it's older, cracks in the porcelain, uses 3.5+ gallons per flush, or has needed multiple repairs, replacement with a modern 1.28 gpf model is the better long-term value.
Can you install a toilet I already purchased in Tualatin?
Yes. We install owner-supplied toilets regularly. We handle the removal of the old unit, wax ring replacement, new supply line installation, and confirm the seat bolt spacing and rough-in dimension match before we start. Standard rough-in is 12 inches — if yours is 10 or 14 inches, you'll need a toilet specified for that dimension.
