Toilet Repair in State Line, PA
State Line has old housing and a mixed tenure: 79% of homes predate 1990, and 23% of households rent. Which of those you are changes the whole answer.
Short version
Tenure in State Line is close to even, at 77% owner-occupied and 23% 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. Housing there is 79% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of State Line’s housing suggests
79% of State Line’s housing predates 1990 and 4% predates 1940. That makes the pre-standard fixture the base case here rather than the exception.
It is a statement about the housing stock. A house built in 1935 has had ninety years in which somebody could have replaced the toilet, and many have.

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.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.

Checking a plumber in Pennsylvania
Checking a credential in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has no state license for plumbers. Its Department of Labor and Industry states it has no jurisdiction and keeps no records of which municipalities require one, so the only reliable answer is your own city or township. Start here. Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.
If the dye test pointed at the flapper, that is a part, not a fixture.Worth saying on the call, because it changes what somebody arrives with. We connect you to a contractor covering your area and you are never charged. Toilets are one subject; we serve State Line on all the others too.
