You can see the full range of plumbing work we cover on the Arana Hills home page, from tap repairs through to bathroom plumbing. This page is just about toilets: the running, the leaking and the not-quite-flushing.
Cisterns, Pans and Buttons
Toilets are simple fixtures with a short list of failure points, and most faults come down to worn rubber, tired valves or cracked porcelain. Our plumbers carry the common cistern parts, so plenty of repairs finish in a single visit.
Toilets With a Septic Past
The estate started unsewered
The Camden Park estate was offered from 1956 on unsewered blocks, and sewers only reached the Hills District in 1974, so the earliest houses here spent nearly two decades on tanks and trenches.
Buried tanks still turn up
Those septic remnants surface when owners dig for pools or retaining walls, and a rotted tank lid can collapse underfoot, so we treat any old block carefully.
Older cisterns, older parts
Toilets fitted in the 1960s and 1970s homes around Narellan Street and the streets off Cobbity Crescent often run original-style mechanisms, which we match part for part rather than guessing.
Toilet Work We Carry Out
From a washer that stops a trickle to a full suite swap, this is the toilet work we do for houses across the suburb:
Leaking Pans
Water seeping from under the bowl usually means a failed pan seal or a hairline crack, and we reseal, repair or replace the pan before the floor underneath it softens.
Flush Button Repairs
Sticking buttons, broken dual-flush actuators and worn internal linkages get stripped, cleaned and rebuilt, so one press gives a full flush and the other a proper half, every single time.
Full Replacements
When a cistern or pan is past saving, we supply and install a new suite, reconnect the inlet and waste, level the pan properly and test everything before we finish.

Common Toilet Faults
Four faults cover most of the toilet calls we take on this run:
Water Running Constantly
A cistern that refills by itself hours after flushing is nearly always just a worn flapper or inlet valve, both parts we carry and fit before we leave the bathroom.
A Weak or Half Flush
A weak flush that leaves solids behind often comes from a partially blocked rim or a worn flush valve, and clearing or replacing it usually restores the full bowl wash.
Water Around the Base
A puddle at the foot of the bowl means the pan seal has failed or the porcelain has cracked, and catching it early keeps the bathroom's floor sheeting intact.
A Noisy Refill
A refill that hammers or hisses through the night points to a worn inlet valve or a loose washer, and a new valve usually silences it within the first visit.
Why a Running Loo Costs You
A toilet fault is never just an annoyance, and here is what it does if you leave it:
Water money
A cistern trickling all day and all night runs litres through the Unitywater meter without a single flush, and that shows up on the account.
Floor damage
A slow leak at the pan base soaks into flooring quietly, and by the time it's visible the sheeting under the vinyl is often already gone.
Bigger jobs later
A sticking button or weak flush forces half-flushes repeated three times, which loads old waste pipes and can tip a tired line into a blocked sewer.

Toilet Questions From Arana Hills
Call (07) 3067 4274Why does my toilet keep running in an Arana Hills home?
A worn flapper seal or inlet valve is the usual culprit, especially in the 1960s and 1970s cisterns common here, and both parts are quick to replace.
Who owns the pipe between my toilet and the sewer main?
The waste pipe on your side of the boundary connection is yours to maintain, while Unitywater manages the sewer main out in the street, so toilet drain repairs fall to us.
Do the older blocks in Arana Hills need special toilet work?
Some of the earliest Arana Hills blocks were sold unsewered from the 1956 estate, so we check for buried septic remnants before touching any waste pipe near an old tank.
Can a leaking pan damage the floor in older Arana Hills houses?
Yes, water creeping under the bowl softens particleboard flooring and swells the sheet vinyl, so a failed pan seal is worth fixing before the floor follows it.
Is a constantly running toilet in Arana Hills worth fixing straight away?
Yes, because a cistern refilling nonstop pours water straight through the Unitywater meter and onto your account, and the fix is usually one valve rather than a whole new suite.
