Few household problems cause more immediate stress than a malfunctioning toilet. A clog that won’t clear, a tank that won’t stop running, or a leak that’s puddling on your floor—these aren’t just inconveniences. They are urgent problems that disrupt your entire home, waste water, and threaten to cause costly damage. For a busy Carol Stream family, a single out-of-commission bathroom is a major disruption.

Your Comprehensive Carol Stream Toilet Repair Solution
A toilet may seem simple, but its mechanics involve a surprising number of seals, valves, and moving parts. When one part fails, it can cause a variety of problems. Our experienced plumbers have seen it all and arrive in fully-stocked trucks, ready to fix your issue on the spot.
Stopping the Non-Stop Running Toilet
That constant hissing or gurgling sound is the sound of your money—and hundreds of gallons of water—going down the drain. This issue is most often caused by a worn-out flapper that no longer creates a proper seal, or a faulty fill valve that doesn’t know when to shut off. We can rebuild the internal components of your tank with high-quality, professional-grade parts, stopping the waste and silencing the noise for good.
Expert Clogged Toilet Repair
A plunger is a homeowner’s first defense, but it’s often not enough. If you have a clog that keeps coming back, or one that won’t clear at all, you need professional help. The blockage may be too deep for a plunger to reach, or it may be caused by a foreign object (like a child’s toy) or a buildup of “flushable” wipes, which do not break down. Our plumbers use professional-grade augers to clear the clog without damaging your toilet’s porcelain.
Fixing Leaks at the Base or Tank
A puddle of water around the base of your toilet is a serious issue that should be addressed immediately. This is often a sign that the wax ring—the seal between the toilet and the sewer pipe—has failed. This leak can be unsanitary and, if left unchecked, can lead to mold and rot in your subfloor. We can remove the toilet, inspect the flange, and install a new, high-quality wax ring to create a perfect, lasting seal.
Beyond the Plunger: Why You Need a Professional Plumber
In an effort to save time or money, it can be tempting to try a DIY repair with a kit from a big-box store. Unfortunately, these “one-size-fits-all” solutions often fail. A toilet that isn’t set perfectly level on a new wax ring will leak. Overtightening tank bolts can crack the porcelain, turning a simple repair into a mandatory replacement. Using the wrong parts on a modern, low-flow toilet can ruin its flushing efficiency.
A-Keveloh Plumbing Inc. takes the guesswork out of toilet repair. Our licensed plumbers find the root cause of the problem and fix it correctly. We ensure the right parts are used, all seals are secure, and the toilet is functioning with its full, intended flushing power. We provide a long-term solution, not just a temporary patch-up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toilet Repair
Why does my toilet flush by itself (a “phantom flush”)?
A phantom flush is when your toilet tank refills as if it has been flushed, even though no one has touched it. This is almost always caused by a slow, silent leak from the tank into the bowl. The most common culprit is a worn-out flapper. As the water level in the tank drops, the fill valve eventually triggers to refill it, causing the “flush” sound. We can easily fix this by replacing the flapper.
Is it worth repairing an old toilet, or should I just replace it?
This is a great question. If your toilet requires frequent repairs, clogs constantly, or has visible cracks, replacement is often the most cost-effective solution. Furthermore, if your toilet was manufactured before 1994, it is likely using 3.5 gallons (or more) per flush. A modern, high-efficiency toilet uses 1.28 gallons or less, which can lead to significant water savings, as noted by the EPA’s WaterSense program. We can provide an honest assessment to help you decide.
What should I do if my toilet is overflowing?
First, stop the water to prevent a flood. The fastest way is to lift the tank lid, reach inside (it’s clean water), and press down on the flapper to seal the tank. If that doesn’t work, turn the small shut-off valve on the wall behind or beside the toilet (turn it clockwise). Once the water is stopped, do not try to flush it again. Call us immediately at 630-963-0433 for emergency service.
