Trusted Plumbing Company Serving the South Bay Area
Palo Alto homes are especially affected by century-old galvanized and lead pipes in Stanford-area historic homes. Palo Alto Utilities sources water that, in older unlined pipes, can pick up rust and sediment — a key reason why professional assessment and quality service matters.
Plumb Right Repipe & Rooter specializes in toilet repair, rebuild, and full replacement using flappers, fill valves, flush valves, wax rings, water supply lines, and complete toilet units built for long-term reliability. Every job includes a 1-year warranty on all toilet repair and replacement labor and a promise to complete work correctly the first time.

Get answers to common questions about our toilet repair services in Palo Alto.
A constantly running toilet almost always means the flapper (the rubber seal at the bottom of the tank) is worn or warped and no longer sealing completely, or the fill valve is malfunctioning and overfilling the tank. Both are inexpensive repairs — typically under $100 in parts and labor. A running toilet wastes 200+ gallons per day, so it’s worth fixing promptly.
Weak flushes in Palo Alto are often caused by mineral buildup (from hard water) clogging the rim holes under the toilet bowl, a flapper that closes too quickly, a partially closed shutoff valve, or a low-flow toilet that’s simply undersized for the fixture’s use. We diagnose the specific cause and recommend the right fix.
Replace the toilet if: it’s cracked (either the tank or the bowl), it requires repairs more than once a year, it’s a pre-1994 toilet using 3.5+ gallons per flush (modern toilets use 1.28 gpf), or if the base is leaking due to a cracked flange. Otherwise, a quality repair extends toilet life by many years.
A flapper or fill valve replacement takes 30–45 minutes. A full toilet replacement takes 60–90 minutes including removal of the old unit, new wax ring, installation, and testing. We carry common repair parts on every truck, so most repairs are completed in a single visit.
Frequent clogs usually indicate one of three things: excessive toilet paper use, flushing of non-flushable items (wipes, feminine products), or a partial blockage in the drain line below the toilet. If plunging provides only temporary relief, the issue is likely further down the drain — we can camera-inspect the line to confirm.
