Toilet Repair in Conroe, TX
Conroe is a newer town, 28% of its housing built before 1990, where about 35% of households rent.
Short version
Tenure in Conroe is close to even, at 65% owner-occupied and 35% 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. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

What the age of Conroe’s housing suggests
28% of Conroe’s housing predates 1990 — a small share. Most homes here were built under the 1.6 gallon maximum, so the fault is far more likely to be a part than the fixture.
As everywhere, this dates the house. A toilet can be replaced with an older one, and occasionally is.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
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.
