Flapper Replacement in Lincoln, NE

The flapper is the rubber seal at the bottom of the tank. It lifts when you flush and drops back onto the flush valve seat to hold water in. Chlorine, chloramine and hard water slowly harden it, and once it warps, water trickles into the bowl all day.

Flappers are not one size. Most toilets use a 2-inch or a 3-inch flush valve, and plenty of newer high-efficiency models use their own seal that a generic store flapper will not fit. A mismatch is the most common reason a DIY fix keeps running.

A-1 Plumbing Services connects Lincoln, NE homeowners with plumbers who match the flapper to the valve, leave about half an inch of slack in the chain, and check the seat for scale or pitting that would make a new flapper leak anyway.

Still running after a new flapper? The seat or the overflow tube is the next stop.

Call A-1 Plumbing Services at (866) 303-3394 to have a flapper replaced in Lincoln, NE.

Toilet repair FAQs

Common questions about toilet repair and toilet installation

Questions we hear most often about Flapper Replacement in Lincoln, NE.

Talk to a person
Why does my toilet refill by itself every so often?
That is a ghost flush. Water is slowly leaking from the tank into the bowl, usually past a worn flapper or a pitted flush valve seat, until the fill valve kicks on to top it up.
What is the difference between a 1.28 and a 1.6 gallon toilet?
1.6 gallons per flush is the federal maximum. 1.28 gallons is the high-efficiency standard used by WaterSense and required by law in several states, including California, Texas, Colorado and Georgia.
Do I need a permit for toilet installation in Lincoln, NE?
A like-for-like swap often needs no permit, but rules vary by city. Moving the drain, adding a bathroom or installing a wall-hung carrier usually does. Your plumber can check the local rule.
Should I repair or replace my toilet?
Repair when the problem is a valve, flapper, seal or bolt. Consider replacing when the bowl or tank is cracked, parts are discontinued, or an older toilet flushes poorly even with new parts.
Can a wall-hung toilet be repaired without opening the wall?
Usually yes. Most in-wall tanks have an access panel behind the flush plate, so the fill valve and flush valve can be reached from the front.
