FAQ · Running toilet

How fast can I get help for a running toilet?+

Most non-emergency requests are handled same-day or next-day depending on partner capacity in your city.

Do I need to buy parts myself for a running toilet?+

Usually not. Partner plumbers typically bring common parts (flappers, fill valves, wax rings, supply lines). Specialty fixtures may require a return trip or a parts allowance on the quote.

Is Flushing Toilets the plumbing company?+

No. We are a marketplace that connects you with independent licensed local plumbers. The partner who contacts you performs the work.

What should I do while I wait?+

Shut off the toilet supply valve if it’s safe to reach, avoid flushing other fixtures if you suspect a main backup, and keep kids/pets out of standing water.
