Flapper Replacement in Schenectady, NY

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 Schenectady, NY 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 Schenectady, NY.

Toilet repair FAQs

Common questions about toilet repair and toilet installation

Questions we hear most often about Flapper Replacement in Schenectady, NY.

Talk to a person
How much does toilet repair cost in Schenectady, NY?
It depends on the part. Swapping a flapper or fill valve is a small job, while pulling the toilet to replace a flange takes longer and costs more. Ask the plumber for the price before any work starts.
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.
Can a cracked toilet tank be repaired?
Not reliably. Epoxy patches rarely hold under constant water pressure. The tank should be replaced, or the whole toilet if a matching tank is no longer made.
What size toilet do I need for my bathroom in Schenectady, NY?
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.
What is the difference between a 1.28 and a 1.6 gallon toilet?
1.6 gallons per flush is the federal maximum. 1.28 gallons is the high-efficiency standard used by WaterSense and required by law in several states, including California, Texas, Colorado and Georgia.
