Toilet Repair in Thurston, OH
Thurston sits in the middle of both measures — 69% of housing built before 1990, 64% of households owning their home.
Short version
Tenure in Thurston is close to even, at 64% owner-occupied and 36% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. At 69% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Thurston’s housing suggests
About 69% of homes in Thurston predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

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.
