Toilet Repair in Christiansburg, OH
Christiansburg is an owner-occupied town with old housing: 98% of homes here went up before 1990, and 89% of households own the one they are in.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 89% of the occupied homes in Christiansburg. 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. Housing there is 98% pre-1990, so a pre-standard fixture using far more than 1.6 gallons a flush is a real possibility — though that dates the house, not the toilet.

What the age of Christiansburg’s housing suggests
98% of housing units in Christiansburg were built before 1990, which is to say before the Energy Policy Act of 1992 set a 1.6 gallon maximum. EPA puts pre-standard fixtures at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush.
That is about the house, not about your bathroom: a 1968 home may be on its third toilet. What the figure says is that in a town like this, an original fixture is a live possibility rather than a curiosity.

What is actually wrong with it
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
