Why Charleston homeowners call for toilet repair
A toilet leaking at the floor can rot subfloor in a weekend. Running toilets waste water every hour. Both are standard licensed-plumber work.
Older stacks and flanges decide what a simple toilet repair turns into. Raised single houses and cottages with cast iron and galvanized on the peninsula; slab ranches in West Ashley. Nearby towns: Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, James Island.
Conditions further down the line decide whether the toilet is the problem at all. High water table and storm surge load laterals; humidity shortens tanks in sealed closets. Common dispatch ZIPs in Charleston include 29401, 29403, 29407, 29412. Nearby codes are covered — call with yours.
If the toilet is overflowing, shut the supply valve behind the bowl and do not keep flushing.
