Toilet Repair in Justin, TX
Only 13% of homes in Justin predate 1990. At 83% owner-occupied, this is a town where the fixture is probably modern and the decision is definitely yours.
Short version
In Justin, 83% 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. 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 Justin’s housing suggests
Only 13% of housing units in Justin were built before 1990. In a town like this the interesting question is not how much water the fixture uses but why a relatively new one is misbehaving.
Usually the answer is the flapper or the fill valve, both of which wear on a schedule of their own regardless of how new the house is.

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.
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.
