Signs You Need Toilet Repair
Toilets are more complex than most homeowners think. Because of this, there are several points where trouble can occur. The most common issues your toilet can encounter include:
- The toilet tank doesn’t refill after flushing
- The flushes are weak and cannot clear the bowl
- It takes a long time for a complete toilet flush
- The toilet runs constantly
- The toilet won’t flush at all
- The water in the bowl is at a low level
- The toilet flushes multiple times on its own
- Other drains in the home gurgle when the toilet is flushed
- There is water leaking from the water tank or the base of the toilet
Some of these issues may not seem serious, and they are easy to deal with. However, over time, a once manageable problem can become serious and would require a more extensive and expensive repair.
If a homeowner is experiencing any toilet issues, they should call the professionals at Summers Plumbing, Heating & Cooling. When you make the call, our tech might suggest that the water supply to the toilet is turned off using the shutoff valve. This will prevent water damage due to the tank or bowl overflowing. If the caller cannot find the valve, our tech will walk them through it.
Common Toilet Repairs
As mentioned above, there are plenty of things that can go wrong with a toilet. Here are a few of the common repairs that Summers performs.
Clogs:
There are a few ways that toilet clogs can form. If the pipes are too narrow, the water and waste won’t go down. Flushing materials that shouldn’t be flushed, such as paper towels and baby wipes, can also cause a clog. More serious issues can cause minor clogs; therefore, when the toilet gets clogged, it is best to hire a licensed plumber with the necessary experience and tools to handle the job.
Toilet Base Repair:
If the toilet rocks or doesn’t seem connected securely to the floor, homeowners should not wait to call a plumber. These issues can cause the toilet to spring a leak, which can cause serious water damage to the floor. Our techs can reseat the toilet and tighten the brackets, holding it securely and preventing major water damage.
Tank Issues:
The toilet tank stores water that is used to power each flush. If the tank doesn’t fill or doesn’t fill enough, the toilet won’t flush properly. There are also times that the toilet tank will fill and won’t stop running. This can waste a significant amount of water. Our techs at Summers Plumbing, Heating & Cooling figure out what is causing the problem and then make the necessary repairs.
Loose Connections:
Over time, even top-of-the-line toilets can have issues with loose parts. This is a simple repair and can save homeowners the hassle and expensive water bills.
Repair Or Replace?
The average toilet can run for 10 to 15 years. If a homeowner tries to extend the life of their toilet beyond this point, it can result in a failure that can be catastrophic. Doing so will require extensive repair to the bathroom and the installation of a new toilet.
Repair is always the best option, but if the toilet has reached its maximum lifespan, it is worth spending money on a new toilet. The professionals at Summers can easily decide the best course of action.
