Toilet Repair in Leadville, CO
In Leadville, about 70% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 25% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
Tenure in Leadville is close to even, at 75% owner-occupied and 25% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. At 70% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
