- Repair toilet tank mechanism: We will adjust the handle, the lift chain, the flapper ball and replace if necessary. clear the flushing holes under the lip of the bowl, tighten the tank bolts if loose. Included in the service cost is the replacement of the ball cock if necessary. We replace the ball cock with a new one with an anti siphon device as required by most building codes on new building. The anti siphon device does not allow soiled water from the tank to be drawn back into our water supply in case the household water pressure drops suddenly.
- Clear a clogged toilet: We will check first if any other drains, sinks, tubs, or showers are draining slowly. If they are, it will necessary to call our drain maintenance company to clear a blockage in your drains. If this is the only slow draining water consuming item in your house we will attempt to clear the drain first with a plunger, in a closet auger and finally will pull the toilet and clear it manually.

a plastic collar depending on the situation.
