Toilet Repair in Newton Falls, OH
In Newton Falls, 85% of the housing was built before 1990. About 71% of households own their home and 29% rent, so this page has two readers.
Short version
71% of occupied homes in Newton Falls are owner-occupied and 29% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. Housing there is 85% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Newton Falls’s housing suggests
With 85% of homes built before 1990, Newton Falls sits firmly on the old side of the flush-volume line. EPA describes pre-standard toilets as using 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons per flush, and older ones as much as 6.
The house is what this dates. If you want to know about the fixture itself, the date is usually molded inside the tank lid.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
