Common Toilet Problems We Solve

Toilets are complex fixtures, and several issues can arise over time. Identifying the problem early can prevent escalation and minimize disruption. Some of the most frequent toilet troubles we encounter include:

• Running Toilets: A toilet that continues to run long after flushing can waste hundreds of gallons of water per day, significantly increasing your water bill. This is often caused by a faulty flapper valve that isn't sealing correctly, an improperly adjusted fill valve, or issues with the flush valve assembly inside the tank.
• Leaking Toilets: Leaks can occur at various points, such as the base of the toilet (often indicating a failing wax ring or loose bolts), the tank-to-bowl connection, or the supply line connection. Pipe Leak Repair expertise is often required to diagnose and fix leaks effectively, preventing water damage to your floor and subfloor.
• Clogged Toilets: While some clogs are minor and easily resolved with a plunger, persistent or severe blockages can indicate a deeper issue within the drain line. Attempting to force a blockage through incorrectly can worsen the problem. If your toilet backs up frequently or won't flush at all, professional Drain Cleaning may be necessary to clear the line completely.
• Weak or Incomplete Flush: A toilet that doesn't flush effectively might not be clearing waste properly. This can be due to low water levels in the tank, issues with the flush valve, blockages in the rim jets under the bowl, or problems further down the drain pipe.
• Cracked Porcelain: Cracks in the toilet tank or bowl are serious issues that require immediate attention. Even hairline cracks can lead to leaks and worsen over time, potentially causing significant water damage. Cracked toilets typically need to be replaced rather than repaired.
• Loose or Damaged Handles: A wobbly or non-functional flush handle prevents the toilet from flushing properly. This is usually a simple fix involving replacing the handle or the linkage connecting it to the flush valve.
• Whistling or Noisy Fill Valve: A noisy toilet when the tank is refilling can indicate a worn-out or defective fill valve that needs replacement.

When to Consider Toilet Replacement

While many toilet problems can be repaired, there are instances where replacing the unit is the more practical and cost-effective long-term solution. You might consider toilet replacement if:

• Frequent Repairs: Your toilet requires frequent repairs for different issues. The cost of repeated service calls and parts can quickly add up, exceeding the cost of a new, reliable unit.
• Age: Older toilets, particularly those manufactured before the 1990s, use significantly more water per flush than modern models. Replacing an old toilet with a high-efficiency model can lead to substantial water savings over time.
• Cracks or Damage: Any cracks in the porcelain tank or bowl compromise the toilet's integrity and can lead to serious leaks.
• Inefficiency: If your toilet consistently struggles to flush waste or requires multiple flushes, it may be inherently inefficient due to its design or age.
• Outdated Appearance: Sometimes, replacement is desired simply to update the look of a bathroom during a renovation.
• Performance Issues: Persistent issues like recurring clogs despite professional drain cleaning might suggest a problem with the toilet's internal trapway design.

Our Toilet Replacement & Installation Process

Choosing to replace your toilet can improve bathroom efficiency, aesthetics, and performance. Our team makes the replacement process smooth and hassle-free. We can help you select a new toilet that meets your needs, considering factors like size, height (standard vs. comfort height), flushing technology (single flush, dual flush, pressure-assisted), and water efficiency.

Our toilet replacement and installation process includes:

• Safe Removal: We carefully shut off the water supply, disconnect the old toilet, and remove it from your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption and mess.
• Flange Inspection: The toilet flange (the fitting connecting the toilet to the drain pipe in the floor) is inspected for damage or corrosion. If necessary, we can repair or replace a damaged flange to ensure a secure and leak-free connection for the new toilet.
• New Toilet Installation: We set the new toilet securely onto the flange using a new wax ring or other sealing method, ensuring a watertight seal. The bolts are tightened to anchor the toilet firmly to the floor.
• Water Connection: The new supply line is connected and the water is turned back on.
• Testing and Adjustment: We test the flush multiple times to ensure proper function, check for leaks, and make any necessary adjustments to the fill valve and flushing mechanism.
• Area Cleanup: We clean up the work area, disposing of the old toilet and packaging materials responsibly.

Whether you're upgrading for efficiency or replacing a damaged unit, professional installation is crucial to prevent future problems like leaks and instability.

Understanding Toilet Service Costs

The cost of toilet repair or replacement can vary depending on several factors. For repairs, the cost typically depends on the specific issue, the parts required (e.g., a simple flapper vs. a complex fill valve or flush assembly), and the time needed to complete the repair. More complex problems or those requiring diagnosis of underlying issues (like a clogged drain line) might incur higher costs.

For toilet replacement, the cost includes the labor to remove the old toilet and install the new one.
