Toilet Repair in Pass Christian, MS

In Pass Christian, 83% of households are owner-occupiers and just 36% of the housing was built before 1990 — so a pre-standard fixture is the exception here.

Short version

Owner-occupiers hold 83% of the occupied homes in Pass Christian. For most households there the toilet is theirs outright, so the repair can be arranged directly without a landlord, an agent or a lease in the way. With most homes built since 1990, the fixture is probably already a 1.6 gallon one and its age is unlikely to be the fault.

Tank and Bowl is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We carry out no work, we sell no fixtures, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

What the age of Pass Christian’s housing suggests

With only 36% of homes built before 1990, Pass Christian is a town of modern fixtures. EPA’s WaterSense label goes further than the standard at 1.28 gallons per flush.

The figure is about construction dates rather than what is bolted to the floor, but in a town this new the two are less likely to have diverged.

What is actually wrong with it

The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.

Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
