Direct answer
Why does a toilet keep running?
A toilet that keeps running usually has a worn flush mechanism — the flapper, fill valve, or handle inside the tank — quietly leaking water from the tank into the bowl around the clock. Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow repairs running, clogged, leaking, and overflowing toilets across Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, St. Lucie, and Miami-Dade counties — phones answered 24/7 by a real person, upfront pricing, and every repair guaranteed for at least a year.
What we handle
What toilet problems does Flamingo handle?
Leak repair, clog removal, flush-mechanism and tank repair, seat and bowl repair, and full toilet installation and replacement — residential and commercial. Estimates are free, financing is available, and every job is guaranteed for at least a year.
Can you clear a toilet that keeps clogging?
Yes — clog removal and drain cleaning for blockages a plunger can’t beat, including repeat clogs that point to a problem deeper in the line.
When should a toilet be replaced?
When the tank or bowl is cracked, or the same toilet needs repair after repair. We install and replace toilets, with free estimates on the work.
Warning signs
How do you know your toilet needs more than a plunger?
Most toilet failures announce themselves first. Catching the signs early is the difference between a quick mechanism swap and a bathroom floor full of water.
- Constant running or hissing from the tank long after the flush ends.
- Ghost flushing — the tank refills on its own when nobody has used it.
- A toilet that rocks at the base, or water pooling around it.
- Clogs that keep coming back no matter how hard you plunge.

Toilet repair questions
Toilet repair questions people actually ask.
How much does toilet repair cost?
It depends on the cause — a flush-mechanism swap is a smaller job than a cracked tank, a stubborn drain-line clog, or a full replacement. Estimates are free, pricing is upfront before we start, and financing is available — call (561) 448-3200 for today's pricing.
Should I repair or replace my toilet?
If the tank or bowl is cracked, or the same toilet needs fixing again and again, replacement usually wins. We diagnose first and give you both numbers upfront so you can decide.
Why does my toilet keep running?
Usually the flush mechanism — the parts inside the tank that control each flush — has worn out and is letting water slip from the tank into the bowl nonstop. We repair or replace the mechanism and stop the waste.
What is ghost flushing?
A toilet that refills on its own when nobody has used it. It means water is slowly leaking from the tank into the bowl until the tank tops itself off — the same fix as a running toilet, caught before it shows up on your water bill.
My toilet is overflowing right now — what do I do?
Stop the flow first: shut the supply valve behind the toilet, or lift the tank lid and push the flapper closed. Then call (561) 448-3200 — phones are answered 24/7 by a real person, and emergency service runs around the clock across all five counties.
