A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day, and a rocking one is usually a failed wax ring quietly soaking your subfloor. Both are quick fixes when they're caught early.

Most toilet trouble comes down to six parts, and all six are repairable.
Under roughly ten years old, with a sound tank and bowl, repair almost always wins. Flappers, fill valves, flush valves, supply lines, angle stops and wax rings are inexpensive parts and a straightforward job.
A cracked tank or bowl gets replaced, full stop; a hairline crack becomes a flood eventually. We also recommend replacement when a very old low-efficiency unit clogs constantly, because a modern fixture uses far less water per flush and actually clears the bowl.
Mineral-heavy Central Valley water leaves scale everywhere water sits or passes. In a toilet that means deposits in the rim jets and siphon jet, which is the single most common reason for a flush that seems to have lost its power over the years.
The same minerals stiffen flapper rubber and coat the flapper seat, which is why a toilet that never used to run suddenly does. Both are repairs, not replacements, when they are caught in time.
California limits new toilets to 1.28 gallons per flush, and modern high-efficiency fixtures clear the bowl at that volume better than the 3.5 and 5 gallon units they replaced. If you still have an original 1980s toilet, a replacement pays back in water use rather than just in appearance.

Under about ten years old, repair almost always wins. Cracked tanks or bowls get replaced.
Usually a failed wax ring or a corroded flange. Don't wait on it, that water is reaching the subfloor.
Almost always a worn flapper or a fill valve out of adjustment. Both are quick, inexpensive repairs, and both waste a startling amount of water until they are done.
Considerably. A silently leaking flapper can pass hundreds of gallons a day, and it is one of the most common causes of an unexplained bill jump.
Usually mineral buildup in the rim and siphon jets from hard water, or a flush chain adjusted too long. We clear the jets and reset the mechanism.
No. Movement means loose bolts or a damaged flange, and every rock works the wax seal loose. It should be corrected before it leaks.
Flush only waste and toilet paper. Wipes labeled flushable, paper towels and hygiene products are the cause of most of the clogs we clear.
Yes, including flush valve and pressure-assist units in restaurants, offices and multi-unit properties.
