A toilet that runs constantly wastes 26β200 gallons of water per day depending on the severity β that's $20β$100 extra on a monthly water bill for a problem that typically requires a $15 part and 30 minutes to fix. A toilet that rocks on the floor is either a loose flange bolt or a deteriorated wax ring β and if it's the wax ring, every flush risks sewer gas leaking into the structure. Masters Plumbing Service's toilet techs in New Prague, MN carry fill valves, flappers, wax rings, flush valves, toilet bolts, and supply lines to resolve every common toilet problem in a single visit.

A rocking toilet that's dismissed as a loose bolt and tightened without replacing the wax ring will continue letting sewer gas into the bathroom floor cavity. The right diagnosis matters.
Phantom flushing (spontaneous refill with no flush) almost always indicates a flapper that no longer seals β a 10-minute repair. But sometimes it's a hairline crack in the overflow tube that keeps the water level from holding. We check both.
For toilets where the flush valve seat is chipped or the porcelain tank has cracked, we also carry compact replacement toilet units in standard rough-in dimensions.
Pulling and resetting a toilet requires shutting the water, draining both tank and bowl, disconnecting the supply line, unbolting the toilet from the flange, removing the old wax ring fully, inspecting the flange for damage, and seating a new ring with the correct compression profile for the floor height before resetting and re-bolting the toilet.
We don't upsell a toilet replacement when the existing toilet is functional and the problem is a repairable component. Honest diagnosis produces honest recommendations.
From a constantly running tank to a toilet that's been loose on the floor for years, here's exactly what our toilet techs address in New Prague, MN.
Old-style ballcock fill valves with a float ball and brass arm are still common in older New Prague homes. We replace these with modern Fluidmaster-style anti-siphon fill valves that provide more reliable shutoff, quieter fill, and a 5-year warranty against failure.
A toilet that rocks on the floor, shows water staining at the base after flushing, or emits sewer gas odor near the floor needs to come up for a wax ring inspection. We pull the toilet, remove the old ring completely, inspect the closet flange for cracks or corrosion, install the correct wax ring profile for the finished floor height, and reset and secure the toilet.
A toilet that won't clear with a plunger has either a tight clog in the trap or a blockage in the drain arm beyond the trap. We use a closet auger β a specialized toilet snake with a protective rubber boot β to reach through the trap and break or retrieve the obstruction without scratching the porcelain bowl.
The flush valve is the large central drain at the bottom of the toilet tank. Over time, the flush valve seat β the surface the flapper seals against β can develop mineral scale buildup or micro-fractures that prevent the flapper from sealing completely. If a new flapper doesn't resolve a running toilet, the flush valve seat is the next check.
The bolts and rubber gasket connecting the tank to the bowl can deteriorate over years of service, leading to slow leaks at the tank base or a tank that shifts side to side. We drain and remove the tank, replace the spud washer (tank-to-bowl gasket), install new brass bolts with neoprene washers, and reseat the tank with correct torque to avoid cracking the porcelain.
We handle the full process: shut water, pull old toilet (including wax ring and flange inspection), set the new unit, connect supply, and verify flush performance and seal before leaving.
We don't replace everything and hope one part was the issue. A short diagnostic step tells us exactly which component failed β and we fix that one.
We ask whether you have a gravity-feed toilet (standard) or a pressure-assist model, which affects which parts we bring.
For a rocking toilet, we assess floor movement, flange bolt tightness, and wax ring seal before recommending the appropriate repair.
Based on diagnosis, you receive a flat-rate quote before the tech picks up a wrench. Common repairs are priced β fill valve replacement, flapper replacement, wax ring reset, clog clearing β and you see exactly what you're agreeing to.
You don't find out the repair didn't hold after we leave. We test until we're confident it's right.

Master bath toilet had been running intermittently for months β I kept jiggling the handle. Masters Plumbing Service's tech diagnosed a deteriorated flapper seat and an aging fill valve that wasn't shutting off reliably. Replaced both in about 35 minutes. The toilet is completely silent now. The tech also found that my water pressure was running at 95 PSI β well above the 80 PSI max recommended β and adjusted the pressure regulator, which was stressing the fill valve in the first place. That kind of thorough thinking is why I called a plumber rather than just replacing parts myself.
Toilet rocking at the base β I'd been told it was just a loose bolt. Masters Plumbing Service pulled it, and the wax ring had a void on one side from an uneven floor. They replaced the ring, used a flange extender to correct the height to the tile, and reset the toilet. Completely solid now and no floor staining at the base. Glad I called before a minor issue became a subfloor problem.
Water pooling at the toilet base had me convinced it was the wax ring. Tech traced the water to a corroded tank bolt β water was running down the outside of the bowl and pooling at the base without any leak at the floor seal. A 25-minute repair, not the toilet reset I was dreading.
