Flapper Replacement in Phillips, ME

The flapper is the rubber seal at the bottom of the tank. It lifts when you flush and drops back onto the flush valve seat to hold water in. Chlorine, chloramine and hard water slowly harden it, and once it warps, water trickles into the bowl all day.

Flappers are not one size. Most toilets use a 2-inch or a 3-inch flush valve, and plenty of newer high-efficiency models use their own seal that a generic store flapper will not fit. A mismatch is the most common reason a DIY fix keeps running.

A-1 Plumbing Services connects Phillips, ME homeowners with plumbers who match the flapper to the valve, leave about half an inch of slack in the chain, and check the seat for scale or pitting that would make a new flapper leak anyway.

Still running after a new flapper? The seat or the overflow tube is the next stop.

Call A-1 Plumbing Services at (866) 303-3394 to have a flapper replaced in Phillips, ME.

Toilet repair FAQs

Common questions about toilet repair and toilet installation

Questions we hear most often about Flapper Replacement in Phillips, ME.

Talk to a person
Why does my toilet refill by itself every so often?
That is a ghost flush. Water is slowly leaking from the tank into the bowl, usually past a worn flapper or a pitted flush valve seat, until the fill valve kicks on to top it up.
What size toilet do I need for my bathroom in Phillips, ME?
Measure the rough-in from the finished wall to the center of the floor bolts. Most homes are 12 inches, and some older houses are 10 or 14 inches. Buy a toilet that matches.
Should I repair or replace my toilet?
Repair when the problem is a valve, flapper, seal or bolt. Consider replacing when the bowl or tank is cracked, parts are discontinued, or an older toilet flushes poorly even with new parts.
How long does toilet installation take?
A straight swap on a sound flange usually takes a couple of hours. Flange repairs, a damaged subfloor or a wall-hung carrier add time.
Can a toilet freeze in an unheated bathroom?
Yes. Water in the tank, bowl trap and supply line can freeze and crack porcelain or split the line. In cabins and unheated rooms, drain the tank and add RV antifreeze to the bowl for winter.
