Toilet Repair For All
Common Toilet Problems
On average, an individual flushes the toilet 5 times a day. If you are 4 in a house, that is 20 times. With such frequent use, toilets can experience wear and tear, leading to clogs, leaky tanks, or a more complex problem, like broken toilet bowls. Total Underground Construction team has extensive experience in toilet repair in San Leandro and its environs.
Weak Flush
A weak flush means more water usage and the risk of significant damage, which could result in costly repairs. A faulty toilet flushing handle can increase water usage by more than 3 times. So, you should fix the problem promptly to reduce your water bills and prevent further damage.
Blocked Toilet Drain
Clogged toilets are not only a health hazard but also lead to unbearable odor. Foreign objects, waste buildup, or sewer line issues often cause the problem. Although you can use a plunger to unclog the toilet drain if the issue persists, you should consider getting a professional plumber.
Slow Tank Refill
Clogged vents, drains, pipes, or faulty plumbing are the most common causes of slow toilet tank refill. The problem could lead to flushing malfunction as the tank doesn't have enough water to generate a proper flush. Total UC can help you fix this problem to avoid further damage to your toilet tank and flushing system.
Damaged Wax Seals
If you notice water around the toilet bowl's base, it could indicate that the wax seal is damaged. Other signs include mold growth and sewage smell in the house. Besides being a health hazard, sewage gases are also a fire hazard. You should contact a local plumber if you notice any of these issues.
Cracked Bowl or Tank
You can use epoxy for DIY repairs for minor cracks on the toilet bowl and tank. However, if the crack is more significant, it is advisable to consult a professional plumber for a lasting solution. Total UC plumbers assess the extent of the damage to determine whether repair or replacement is the ideal remedy.
Loose or Wobbly Toilet
Uneven floors, loose bolts, frequent use, vibration, or incorrect installation are some of the causes of wobbling in toilets. Our plumbers inspect the extent of the problem to propose ideal solutions to the problem. You also get tips on how to maintain the efficiency of the toilet.
What People’s Say
Reviews
I was leaving the Bay Area after 30 years and my house was 115 years old. As expected, I failed an inspection required by City of San Mateo's lateral sewer line ordinance (enacted in 2020).
I contacted a very large plumbing outfit suggested by my realtor, but they gave me a very large estimate. Later that night, someone recommended Joe at Total Underground Construction (funnily enough it was a Lyft driver who heard my sob story and had a similar experience).
Joe assessed the situation and gave me a lower quote with a few contingencies for stuff he couldn't see until excavating. To my surprise, the contingent items weren't necessary and the quote held.
Work was performed impeccably and quickly. Permits and all phases were perfectly sequenced, and we passed inspection. Now I can sell the house.
Joe is very experienced and a good guy - total pro. If you're ever in this situation, don't stress - just contact this company.

I had a clogged main sewer line that needed replacing and my neighbor recommended Joe and Orlando. They immediately came out to assess the situation and proposed a cost effective solution. Right away, they came off as two guys who really enjoyed their work. After accepting the project, they took the extra steps to drive out that night to get the sewer line in a passable condition for the few days until the start of the project so we would not be without water and this was all done free of charge with the project. For comparison, other plumbers I've worked with have charged me even for using the camera to look at the line. During the project, they had 4 guys working and were able to complete the sewer line replacement in a single day. On top of all this, their price was extremely reasonable. Highly recommend them and would definitely call on them for future plumbing needs.

I had a leak under my house and Joe came out within hours of me reaching out. They recommended I replace the galvanized pipes and they had the job done within 24 hours. Him and his team were very professional and spotted some other issues that needed attention along the way. They have a lot of experience and let me know what was happening every step of the way.
