Toilet Repair and Installation
How to know when your toilet needs to be repaired or replaced
Toilet repairs are not always easy to diy. If your toilet is constantly running, clogged, or leaking, it may be time to replace it. You should also consider replacing your toilet if it is outdated or not efficient. Here are a few signs that your toilet needs to be repaired or replaced:
-Your toilet is constantly running: If the water in your tank is continuously running into the bowl, this could be a sign of a bigger problem. It could be a leak in the flush valve or tank, which would need to be fixed by a professional.
-Your toilet is clogged: A clogged toilet is one of the most common problems homeowners face. If you have tried using a plunger and multiple flushes, and the water still won’t go down, it’s time to call a professional.
-Your toilet is leaking: A slow leak from your tank into the bowl can waste up to 200 gallons of water per day. A more serious leak could damage your flooring or subfloor. If you see any water around your toilet base, it’s time to call a professional.
-Your toilet is outdated: Older toilets can use up to five times more water than newer, low-flow toilets. If you have an old toilet, it might be time for an upgrade.
Why do toilets break?
There are a few reasons why toilets break. The most common reason is that the porcelain gets cracked or chipped. This can happen if you drop something heavy on the toilet, or if it’s old and frail. Another reason is that the seal around the base of the toilet can become loose, allowing water to leak out. This can be caused by a number of things, such as someone sitting on the toilet too hard, or by age and wear and tear. Finally, the flush valve may become damaged or clogged, preventing the toilet from flushing properly.
When to Call a Professional for Toilet Repair
If you are having any issues with your toilet, it is best to call a professional for toilet repair. Some common issues that may arise are a clogged toilet, a running toilet, or a toilet that won’t flush. These issues can be frustrating and annoying, so it is best to have them fixed as soon as possible.
Tips for avoiding toilet problems in the future
-Never put anything other than human waste and toilet paper in the toilet. -Don’t flush the toilet more than once every few minutes. -If you have a septic tank, have it pumped every few years to avoid buildup.
