What should I do today about a toilet that keeps running?

Shut off the toilet's supply valve first to stop the water flow. Then check the flapper and fill valve, since these parts cause most running toilets. Share what you found when you call so the pro can quote faster.

What should I check when hiring or switching plumbers for three rentals?

Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts. Missouri law requires plumbing repair to be done by a licensed plumber, and a permit is needed before the work begins, except for minor repairs. Kansas City plumbing contractors must carry at least $1 million in liability insurance and post a $500 cash deposit with the city.

How do I keep a running toilet from wasting water across my units?

Fix running toilets quickly, because a constant flow adds to your water bill on every unit. Kansas City Water says to call a licensed plumber if you have a leak you cannot find or cannot fix yourself. Toilet repair in Kansas City is commonly estimated at $150 to $350.

What should I expect on the quote for a repair?

A typical Kansas City plumber bills about $80 to $150 per hour, and many standard jobs are priced as flat-rate work. Ask for the flat-rate price in writing before the visit. Confirm whether the quote covers parts and any permit needed.

Can you bill me directly instead of the tenant?

Billing is handled between you and the pro we refer you to. Ask the pro to bill the property owner in writing before work starts.

What causes a toilet to keep running?

A running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper or a faulty fill valve. Shut off the supply valve and check these parts first. Missouri law requires licensed plumbers to handle most repairs.
