Toilet Repair in Sperry, OK
Sperry has a mixed-age housing stock, 49% of it built before 1990, in a town where 85% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
In Sperry, 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. At 49% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Sperry’s housing suggests
49% of Sperry’s 2,258 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

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.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
