Toilet Flapper Replacement in North Potomac, MD

A North Potomac toilet from the eighties moves three and a half gallons a flush, and the seal holding all that back is a bigger part than the one on a shelf.

Call (301) 395-3831

Toilets built before the water rules changed use a wider flush valve and a heavier seal, and a modern flapper on one of them will hold for a while and then start passing. Matching the part to the era of the fixture is most of the job.

What Affects the Cost of Toilet Flapper Replacement in North Potomac, MD

No prices appear on this page because every job is different. Which era the fixture came from shapes what goes in it. A current toilet takes stock parts we carry every day. A pre-1994 bowl takes a larger seal and sometimes a full valve assembly, and that's worth knowing before somebody makes a second trip to a store for the wrong thing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Very likely. Fixtures from before the water-use rules had a wider flush opening and a taller, heavier seal, and the flappers sold on a shelf today are built for the smaller valve that came in afterward. A near-fit sits proud on one edge and passes water. What you want is a seal made for the older valve, or a conversion kit that suits the larger opening properly.

Shut the water at the stop, flush to empty the tank, and lay a tape across the opening the seal sits over. Two inches is the modern standard. Anything noticeably wider is the older style and needs a part to suit. Take a photo of the whole tank interior at the same time, since the shape of the arms and the overflow tube tell us as much as the number does.
