Toilet Running and Other Plumbing Issues in Cincinnati Homes

Schedule Now

A toilet running or a leaky faucet are plumbing problems many Cincinnati homeowners face throughout the year. These issues are frustrating as well as cause significant water waste. This drives up your utility bills and makes your home less efficient.

The Cincinnati plumbers of Apollo Home solve these common plumbing issues. We restore proper functionality to help you save utility costs. Below we discuss some of the most common plumbing problems Cincinnati homeowners face and their solutions.

Toilet Running

With a toilet running around the clock, your Cincinnati home wastes gallons of water each day. A toilet running is often caused by an issue with the toilet’s flapper.

The toilet flapper is the rubber seal which prevents water from flowing through the tank to the bowl. When a toilet is flushed, the flapper lifts to allow fresh water to fill the bowl from the tank.

Apollo plumbers test your toilet’s flapper for a proper seal. If the flapper does not seal properly, we replace it with a new component to stop the toilet running.

Other potential sources of a toilet running problem are a leak in the fill valve or improper water level in the tank. Our plumbers perform thorough diagnostics to find the source of your toilet running issue. Professional solutions help your family reduce water waste from a toilet running.

Leaky Faucets

Did you know a leaky faucet in your Cincinnati home has the potential to waste the equivalent of 180 showers’ worth of water in a year, at just one drip per second? Often the source of a faucet leak is a worn-out washer or gasket in the faucet’s assembly. Over time, these components degrade and require replacement.

Some homeowners choose to replace worn washers and gaskets in a faucet themselves. However, this has the potential to create problems. To function properly and without leaks, it’s important to correctly reassemble faucets. Uncomfortable making this repair yourself? Trust our experienced plumbers. They get the job done right.

We inspect your leaky faucets to diagnose the issue and make needed repairs, which may include changing worn-out components. Your faucet is reassembled correctly so it works without leaks.

If your leaky faucet is beyond repair, Apollo Home offers new faucets to meet your water-saving goals and blend with your home’s decor. We have a wide selection of models available in a variety of finishes for bathrooms, kitchens and more.

Water Heater Leaks

A leaky water heater is a major issue for Cincinnati homeowners. It wastes water, as well as electricity or gas, depending on your water heating fuel source. The volume of water a water heater holds poses a great risk of water damage in the event of a leak.

Water heaters often leak due to malfunctions with the following components:

  • Cold water inlet
  • Hot water outlet
  • Temperature valve
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Drain valve
  • Internal tank

If your Cincinnati water heater leaks, protect your home right away and turn off the power and water supplies to the unit. Call our expert plumbers to evaluate your water heater and make repairs to prevent water damage and energy waste.

If your tank water heater is ready to retire, consider a tankless model as a replacement. We can’t say enough good things about tankless water heaters. Curious? Read more in this recent blog, “Tankless Water Heater – An Easy Home Improvement…”

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."

"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."

"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
