Toilet Repair in Wasilla, AK
Practical Help for Running, Leaking, and Clogged Toilets
A toilet that keeps running, leaks around the base, refuses to flush, or backs up unexpectedly can go from annoying to urgent pretty fast. At Larry Murray’s Drain Cleaning, we provide professional toilet repair in Wasilla, AK for homeowners and businesses dealing with clogs, leaks, weak flushing, overflowing toilets, failed flappers, fill valve problems, and wax ring issues. Our toilet repair services focus on fixing the problem with the toilet you already have rather than pushing replacement when a repair may be enough. With more than 30 years of experience serving Alaskans, we bring practical troubleshooting and straightforward service to every call.
Running Toilet Repair Before It Wastes More Water
A running toilet may seem like a minor inconvenience, but it can waste a surprising amount of water over time. If the tank keeps refilling, you hear water moving when no one has flushed, or the toilet cycles on and off by itself, the internal components may need attention.
Our running toilet repair service can address common problems with the flapper, fill valve, chain, float, or related tank components. We inspect what is actually causing the water to keep moving before recommending the repair.
Fixing a running toilet can also help reduce unnecessary water use. That can make a difference on the monthly water bill, especially when the problem has been going on longer than you realized.
Toilet Flapper Replacement
The flapper controls the flow of water from the tank into the bowl during a flush. When it becomes warped, brittle, misaligned, or no longer seals correctly, the toilet may run continuously or refill more often than it should.
We provide toilet flapper replacement when the existing part is no longer sealing properly. It is a relatively small component, but it can create a much bigger water-use problem when it fails.
We also check how the flapper works with the rest of the tank hardware. That helps make sure the repair addresses the actual cause instead of only replacing one part at random.
Toilet Fill Valve Repair
The fill valve controls how water enters the tank after flushing. If it sticks, leaks, runs constantly, or fails to shut off correctly, the toilet may make noise, refill slowly, or continue using water unnecessarily.
Our toilet fill valve repair service focuses on restoring proper tank operation. If the valve is worn out, we can replace the failed component and check that the water level is set correctly afterward.
A fill valve problem can sometimes look like a flapper problem, and the opposite can also be true. We inspect both before deciding which repair is needed.
Clogged Toilet Repair
A plunger can handle some simple clogs, but repeated backups or toilets that barely drain may need more than a quick DIY attempt. If the bowl fills too high, drains very slowly, or clogs again soon after being cleared, something deeper may be restricting the flow.
Our clogged toilet repair service addresses blockages that keep the fixture from working normally. We can inspect the toilet and connected drain to determine whether the issue is local to the fixture or part of a larger drain problem.
Repeated clogs should not be ignored. They can point to a partial obstruction or another issue that may need more thorough drain cleaning. For tougher buildup farther into the line, hydro jetting may be appropriate depending on the condition and location of the blockage.
When the Toilet Won’t Flush Properly
If your toilet won’t flush, the cause may be mechanical, drainage-related, or a combination of both. Broken tank components, weak water flow, clogs, or an incomplete flush cycle can all leave the bowl struggling to clear.
We check the tank and bowl function together so the repair matches the symptom. That may involve adjusting or replacing internal parts, clearing a clog, or correcting another problem affecting the flush.
Weak or incomplete flushing is often a sign that something is not operating as it should. Fixing it early can help prevent more frequent clogs and overflows.
Leaking Toilet Repair
Water around the base of a toilet should always be taken seriously. A leak may come from the supply connection, tank hardware, bowl, or the seal between the toilet and the floor.
Our leaking toilet repair service starts with locating the source. Once we know where the water is coming from, we can recommend the appropriate repair instead of guessing based on where the puddle happens to appear.
Moisture around the toilet can damage flooring and surrounding materials if it continues. The sooner the leak is checked, the easier it is to limit additional damage.
Wax Ring Replacement
The wax ring creates a seal between the toilet and the drain opening in the floor. When that seal fails, water may appear around the base after flushing, and odors can sometimes become noticeable.
We provide wax ring replacement when the seal is the source of the leak. The toilet must be removed and reset correctly so the new seal can work as intended.
A leaking base is not always caused by the wax ring, which is why diagnosis matters first. We inspect the fixture and surrounding connections before assuming the seal is the problem.
Overflowing Toilet Help
An overflowing toilet can create a mess in a matter of seconds. The first priority is stopping the water and avoiding repeated flushing until the cause is understood.
We provide repair for overflowing toilets caused by clogs, tank problems, or other fixture-related issues. Once the immediate backup is under control, we check what caused it and what needs to be repaired or cleared.
If the overflow is part of a larger drain or sewer issue, we can evaluate that as well. If water is spreading or the problem cannot safely wait, our emergency plumbing service is available for urgent situations.
Toilet Repair for Homes and Businesses
We provide toilet repair for both residential and commercial customers. A single malfunctioning toilet at home is disruptive enough, while a problem in a business can quickly affect customers, employees, or daily operations.
Our team handles common repair issues in houses, rental properties, offices, and other commercial settings. The goal is the same in every case: identify what failed and restore normal operation as efficiently as possible.
Commercial fixtures may see heavier use than residential toilets. That makes prompt repair especially important when running, leaking, clogging, or flushing problems start.
24/7 Help When Toilet Problems Cannot Wait
Some toilet problems can wait until the next convenient appointment, but an overflowing toilet or major leak may need attention right away. Larry Murray’s Drain Cleaning is available 24/7 to help with urgent plumbing and drain issues.
If water is actively spilling or the toilet will not stop running, call us and explain what is happening. We can help you determine the next step and arrange service based on the situation.
Our around-the-clock availability is especially useful when a toilet problem happens outside normal business hours. Plumbing issues rarely check the clock before showing up.

Larry Murray’s Drain Cleaning serves Wasilla, the Mat-Su Valley, Eagle River, Talkeetna, Sutton, and surrounding areas. We have spent more than 30 years helping Alaskans with toilets, drains, faucets, and other plumbing concerns.
That local experience matters because reliable plumbing is essential in homes and businesses throughout the region. We focus on practical repairs, clear communication, and service that gets the fixture working properly again.
If the existing toilet is beyond practical repair or you’re ready to replace it, we also provide toilet installation and replacement.
Upfront Pricing Before the Repair
No one likes wondering what a repair will cost after the work has already started. When you call (907) 376-4040, we can discuss the problem and provide upfront pricing based on the repair needed.
The final scope depends on what we find during the service call. A running toilet caused by a flapper issue is different from a leaking base or recurring clog, so the right repair starts with the right diagnosis.
Clear pricing helps you make an informed decision. It also keeps the process straightforward from the beginning.
Frequently Asked Questions
A running toilet is often caused by a worn flapper, faulty fill valve, incorrect float setting, or another tank component that is not sealing properly. We can inspect the tank and repair the part causing the water to keep running.
A failed wax ring is one common cause, but loose connections, fixture damage, or other leaks can also send water toward the base. We locate the actual source before recommending wax ring replacement.
Yes, we repair toilets with weak, incomplete, or failed flushing. The problem may involve tank components, a clog, or another issue affecting water flow through the fixture.
Stop flushing and shut off the toilet’s water supply if you can do so safely. Then call us so we can address the clog or mechanical problem causing the overflow.
Replacement may make sense when a toilet is damaged, repeatedly needs repairs, has a cracked fixture, or no longer meets your needs. We can evaluate the problem and explain whether repair or replacement is the more practical option.
A toilet that runs continuously can waste water throughout the day and night. Repairing the failed flapper, fill valve, or other component can stop that unnecessary water use and may help lower the bill.
