What it usually is

A running toilet is usually a worn flapper, a fill valve that will not shut off or a chain that is too short or too long.

What to do first

Take the lid off the tank and look for the flapper not sealing. Closing the shutoff valve stops the water until we get there.

The flat rate that covers it

Parkland is an unincorporated community south of Tacoma with mid-century homes, rentals and apartments near the university. Parkland has a lot of rentals, so quick, clearly priced fixes matter, and we confirm the price before we start.
