Toilet Repair in Lyon Station, PA
In Lyon Station, 82% of the housing was built before 1990. About 70% of households own their home and 30% rent, so this page has two readers.
Short version
In Lyon Station the split runs 70% owner-occupied against 30% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. Housing there is 82% 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 Lyon Station’s housing suggests
Housing in Lyon Station is mostly older than the standard: 82% of it went up before 1990. A toilet fitted when those homes were built used at least twice what a current one does.
Whether the original is still there is a different question, and the only way to settle it is to look at the fixture.

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.
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.

Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.
