Toilet Repair & Low Water Pressure in Gainesville, FL

Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, with older neighborhoods like the Duckpond, Northeast Historic District and University Park, 1960s–80s ranch homes across the northwest, and a very large number of student rentals near campus and Archer Road. Older homes often have galvanized supply pipe, and rentals put heavy use on toilets and faucets. Ezer Pest Control connects Gainesville homeowners and landlords with an independent local plumber for toilet repair and low water pressure repair.

Toilet and fixture repairs

• Running toilets: worn flappers and fill valves waste water and raise bills.
• Slow refill: a clogged fill valve or partly closed stop valve.
• Loose or leaking base: new wax ring and closet bolts.
• Faucet cartridges: drips and weak flow at sinks and showers.

Low water pressure causes

• Galvanized pipe that has rusted closed from the inside in pre-1970 homes.
• Sediment in water heaters and fixtures from hard water.
• A failing pressure regulator or a leak on the main line.

Landlord tips

• Check toilets and showerheads at every lease turnover.
• Fix running toilets quickly — one can waste thousands of gallons a month.
• Label the main shut-off for tenants.

Permits and code

• The City of Gainesville and Alachua County require permits for repiping and water heater replacement.
• Florida plumbers must hold a state license.

What affects the cost

• A flapper or fill valve is a small repair; replacing a toilet or repiping is larger.
• Number of units for multi-family rentals.
