Signs You Need Toilet Repair
Sometimes, toilet issues aren't immediately obvious, and catching problems early can prevent more extensive repairs later. Regular use can wear down essential components, leading to inefficiencies and leaks. Here are a few common signs indicating that your toilet might need professional repairs:
Partial Refilling
If your toilet flushes but doesn't completely refill, it may indicate a blockage or valve issue.
Unexpectedly Low Water Level
Fluctuating water levels in the bowl can suggest a clog or drainage issue.
Continuous Flushing or Running
If the toilet runs for long periods after flushing or flushes twice on its own, it could mean the flapper needs replacing.
Slow Flushes & Noises
When the toilet takes a long time to flush or makes unusual sounds like dripping or whistling, these are indicators of internal issues.
Noises in Other Fixtures
Odd sounds in sinks or bathtubs after flushing may mean the plumbing system is struggling with pressure imbalances or blockages.
Common Toilet Repairs We Offer
Toilets contain many moving parts, and each one needs to work correctly to avoid malfunctions. Our service professionals address a wide range of toilet problems with precision and care, including:
Constantly Running Toilets
This is often caused by a worn or damaged flapper, a part we can replace quickly to save water and lower your utility bills.
Long-Lasting Water Flow
If the water doesn't stop running after the bowl has refilled, the fill valve might need adjustment or replacement, as it can wear down over time.
Leaks Around the Toilet
Leaks could come from damaged seals, bolts, or a cracked toilet base. We inspect thoroughly to find the source and make necessary repairs.
Non-Responsive Flush
If your toilet won't flush at all, it's likely that the handle chain, flapper, or internal valves need repair or replacement.
Weak or Incomplete Flushing
A common issue, this may indicate a partial blockage or problem with the pressure system, which we can resolve with a careful inspection and targeted repair.
Deciding Between Toilet Repair & Replacement
Deciding whether to repair or replace a toilet depends on its age, condition, and frequency of issues. In many cases, minor repairs are enough to get an older toilet working efficiently again. However, for toilets that frequently malfunction or are outdated, replacing them with a new model can be more cost-effective over time. Today's high-efficiency toilets use significantly less water than older models and are designed to minimize blockages and other issues, providing comfort and performance.
Our team can provide expert guidance on whether it's best to repair or replace your toilet. We assess the specific issue, explain your options, and help you select the solution that makes the most sense for your home's needs and budget.
Essential Tips for Toilet Maintenance
Keeping your toilets well-maintained can prolong their lifespan and minimize repairs. In addition to residential toilet repair and installations, we want your toilet to run smoothly. Here are some maintenance tips to ensure your toilets stay in top shape:
Only Flush Toilet Paper & Waste
Non-flushable items, even "flushable" wipes, can cause blockages and should be disposed of in a waste bin.
Regular Cleaning
Clean toilets reduce mineral deposits and bacteria buildup, both of which can affect performance.
Check Connections Regularly
Inspect hoses, seals, and bolts around the toilet base for signs of wear or leakage.
Schedule Inspections
Regular plumbing inspections help catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
