Common Toilet Problems We Resolve
- The Running Toilet: A toilet that constantly fills or cycles on and off, typically caused by a worn flapper or misaligned fill valve.
- Leaks Around the Base: Water pooling on the floor around the toilet base, indicating a broken wax ring seal that requires immediate replacement.
- Weak or Incomplete Flushes: Low water flow during flushing, which can stem from clogged siphon jets or incorrect tank water levels.
- Stubborn Blockages: Deep clogs in the toilet trapway that home plungers cannot dislodge.
- Loose or Wobbling Toilet: A toilet that rocks when sat upon, indicating loose closet bolts or floor flange damage.
Choosing a New Toilet
If you're upgrading your bathroom or replacing a cracked toilet bowl, we help you select systems with optimal parameters:
- WaterSense Certified: High-efficiency toilets that utilize only 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) compared to older 3.5 GPF models, cutting water consumption significantly.
- Comfort Height (Ada Compliant): Bowls that sit 17 to 19 inches high, making sitting and standing easier for many adults.
- Dual Flush Options: Models featuring separate buttons for liquid and solid flushes to maximize water savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is almost always caused by a failed wax ring seal. When you flush, water leaks out from between the toilet horn and the closet flange. This requires pulling the toilet, replacing the wax ring, and resetting the fixture.
Absolutely. A constantly running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water per day, which can add over $100 to your monthly utility bill if left unresolved. Fixing it is usually simple and highly cost-effective.
