Why Choose Homewerx?

Running Toilets Waste 200 Gallons Per Day

A toilet with a failed flapper valve runs silently and continuously, wasting up to 200 gallons per day — nearly $100/month in San Diego water rates. The repair takes 15 minutes and costs a fraction.

Wax Ring Failures Cause Subfloor Rot

The wax seal between the toilet and the floor flange keeps sewer gas and water from escaping. When it fails, water seeps into the subfloor with every flush, causing rot and mold growth beneath the toilet.

Modern Toilets Use 1.28 GPF vs. 3.5 GPF

If your toilet was installed before 1994, it uses 3.5-5 gallons per flush. Modern WaterSense-certified toilets use 1.28 GPF — saving a family of four over 13,000 gallons per year.

Toilet Installation Isn't as Simple as It Looks

A toilet must be properly seated on a level flange at the correct height, with the right wax ring thickness, proper bolt torque, and a supply connection that doesn't leak. Improper installation causes rocking, leaking, and cracked porcelain.

Our Process

01

Diagnosis

We determine whether your toilet issue is a flapper, fill valve, flush valve, wax ring, flange, or supply line problem. Many toilet issues are repairable without full replacement.

02

Internal Repair

For running, phantom flushing, or weak flush issues, we replace the specific failed component — flapper, fill valve assembly, flush valve, or handle mechanism.

03

Wax Ring & Flange Service

If the toilet rocks or leaks at the base, we pull the toilet, inspect the flange, replace the wax ring, and reset the toilet with proper alignment and bolt torque.

04

New Toilet Selection

When replacement is the right call, we help you choose based on rough-in dimension, bowl shape, height preference, flush performance, and water efficiency rating.

05

Installation

Professional installation on a clean, level flange with a fresh wax ring, new supply line, and proper bolt torque. We verify the toilet doesn't rock and doesn't leak at any connection.

06

Testing & Adjustment

Multiple flush tests, leak checks at every connection point, and adjustment of fill level and float for optimal performance and water efficiency.
