A new toilet installed costs $300–$600 including the fixture and labor."},{"question":"Why does my toilet keep running?","answer":"A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper valve, a faulty fill valve, or an improperly adjusted float. A running toilet can waste 200+ gallons of water per day, significantly increasing your Sacramento water bill. Flapper replacement is a $100–$150 fix and is the most common solution."},{"question":"Can I fix a running toilet myself?","answer":"Yes, many toilet repairs are DIY-friendly. Replacing a flapper ($5–$10 part) takes 10 minutes and is the most common fix for a running toilet. Fill valve replacement ($15–$25) takes about 30 minutes. However, if you notice cracks in the tank or bowl, a rocking toilet, or leaking at the base, call a professional."},{"question":"What are the signs I need a new toilet?","answer":"Consider replacement if your toilet requires frequent repairs, has cracks in the porcelain, wobbles on the floor, clogs constantly, or is older than 25 years. Toilets manufactured before 1994 use 3.5–7 gallons per flush, while modern WaterSense toilets use only 1.28 gallons — saving Sacramento homeowners hundreds of gallons per month."},{"question":"What toilet brands do you recommend?","answer":"We recommend TOTO, Kohler, and American Standard for reliability and performance. TOTO Drake is our top pick for Sacramento homes — it has excellent flush power and clogs less than almost any toilet on the market. For budget options, Kohler Highline and American Standard Cadet offer great value."}],"related_services":[{"slug":"emergency-plumbing","name":"Emergency Plumbing","price_range":"$150–$500+"},{"slug":"drain-cleaning","name":"Drain Cleaning","price_range":"$125–$500"},{"slug":"water-heater","name":"Water Heater Services","price_range":"$150–$4,500"},{"slug":"sewer-line","name":"Sewer Line Services","price_range":"$300–$12,000"},{"slug":"leak-detection","name":"Leak Detection","price_range":"$200–$600"}]}}
