Toilet Repair in Canon, GA
Canon is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 49% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
In Canon, 83% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 49% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Canon’s housing suggests
Canon is a mixed-age town — 49% of its homes were built before 1990. That puts a pre-standard fixture somewhere around even odds before you look at anything.
Looking is easy, and it beats the average: most tanks carry a date on the underside of the lid.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
