Toilet Repair in Maineville, OH
Only 33% of homes in Maineville predate 1990. At 85% owner-occupied, this is a town where the fixture is probably modern and the decision is definitely yours.
Short version
In Maineville, 85% 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. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

What the age of Maineville’s housing suggests
Only 33% of housing units in Maineville were built before 1990. In a town like this the interesting question is not how much water the fixture uses but why a relatively new one is misbehaving.
Usually the answer is the flapper or the fill valve, both of which wear on a schedule of their own regardless of how new the house is.

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.
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.
