Expert Toilet Repairs: Toilets can develop a range of issues over time, many of which require professional attention to avoid further damage. Our repair services cover everything from minor fixes to major repairs:
Toilet Leaking at Base: A common issue that can lead to water damage and higher water bills. This usually occurs because of a worn-out wax ring or loose bolts. We replace the wax ring, tighten the bolts, and check for any other potential issues to prevent future leaks.
Toilet Leaking from Tank: Leaks from the tank can waste a significant amount of water and lead to additional problems. We inspect the seals, flapper, and tank components to identify and fix the leak.
No Water in Toilet Tank: When your toilet tank isn’t filling with water, it could be due to a malfunctioning fill valve, a problem with the float, or issues with the water supply line. We quickly diagnose the problem and restore your toilet’s function.
Toilet Won’t Flush: This annoying problem can happen for a few reasons. It might be a broken flapper, a damaged flush handle, or a clog in the pipes. We’ll determine the cause and repair it efficiently to get your toilet flushing properly again.
Toilet Tank Not Filling: If your toilet tank isn’t filling up after a flush, it may lead to incomplete flushes and potential clogs. We check the fill valve, water supply line, and other components to ensure proper water flow into the tank.
Toilet with Low Water Level: A low water level in the bowl can lead to poor flushing performance. We adjust the float and check for any blockages or leaks that might be causing the issue.
Common Toilet Issues
Toilets are a vital part of any household, but they can develop a range of issues that, if not addressed promptly, can lead to more serious problems. Here are some of the most common toilet issues we encounter:
Toilet Leaking at Base: This is a serious issue that can cause damage to your bathroom floor and even lead to structural problems if left unattended. The most common cause is a worn-out wax ring that seals the toilet to the drain. If you notice water pooling around the base of your toilet, it’s essential to contact a plumber immediately to prevent further damage.
No Water in Toilet Tank: A toilet tank that isn’t filling up with water is often due to issues with the fill valve or the water supply line. This can prevent the toilet from flushing properly, leading to clogs and other issues.
Toilet Won’t Flush: This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, from a broken flapper to a clog in the plumbing. If your toilet won’t flush, it’s important to have it inspected by a professional to determine the cause and provide the necessary repairs.
Toilet Leaking from Tank: Leaks from the toilet tank are often caused by worn-out seals or cracks in the tank itself. This can waste water and increase your utility bills, so it’s important to have the issue addressed as soon as possible.
Toilet Tank Not Filling: If your toilet tank isn’t filling up with water, it can lead to poor flushing performance and other issues. This problem is often caused by a faulty fill valve or issues with the water supply line.
Toilet with Low Water Level: A low water level in the toilet bowl can cause poor flushing performance and lead to clogs. This issue is often caused by a problem with the float or a blockage in the plumbing.
Info to Keep in Mind When Purchasing a Toilet
Choosing the right toilet for your home is an important decision that can impact your bathroom’s functionality and efficiency. Here are some key factors to consider when purchasing a new toilet:
Toilet Rough-In Dimensions: The rough-in dimension is the distance between the wall behind the toilet and the center of the toilet’s flange. This measurement is crucial for ensuring that your new toilet will fit properly in your bathroom. Standard rough-in dimensions are 12 inches, but some bathrooms may have 10-inch or 14-inch rough-ins, so it’s important to measure before purchasing a toilet.
Water Efficiency: With growing concerns about water conservation, it’s important to choose a toilet that is water-efficient. Look for toilets with a WaterSense label, which use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less, compared to older toilets that can use up to 3.5 gpf. High-efficiency toilets not only conserve water but also reduce your water bill.
Flushing System: Different toilets use different flushing mechanisms, such as gravity-fed, pressure-assisted, or dual-flush systems. Consider which system will provide the best performance for your needs. Pressure-assisted and dual-flush systems offer stronger flushes and greater water efficiency, making them a popular choice for modern homes.
Comfort and Height: Toilets come in various heights, and choosing the right one can make a big difference in comfort, especially for elderly or disabled individuals. Standard toilets are typically 12-13 inches high, while comfort-height toilets are 14-15 inches high, which can be easier to use for those with mobility issues.
Style and Design: Toilets are available in a variety of styles and designs, from traditional to contemporary. Consider the overall design of your bathroom when choosing a toilet to ensure it complements your space.
