Persistent Clogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A clog here and there isn\u2019t a huge deal. But if your toilet is frequently clogged, there may be a problem deeper in your plumbing system. Serious blockages in your plumbing system require professional attention from our team of plumbing experts, especially when the problem is impacting toilet<\/a> usability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow or Weak Flushing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your toilet should have a consistently strong flush that pushes the waste down into the sewer or septic tank without too much effort. If your toilet struggles to flush properly, a minor clog may contribute to low water levels. It\u2019s also possible that some of the internal components are malfunctioning and need repair. Our team can troubleshoot to figure out exactly what is wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Base Leaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may notice a minor leak or a major one. Either way, the problem is serious. If water is pooling around the base of your toilet, there may be a faulty wax seal, loose bolts, or a cracked bowl. The leaking water can damage the floor and surrounding structure and allow mold to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constant Running <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should only hear water flow from your toilet immediately after a flush as the tank refills. If your toilet continues to run long after a flush, thousands of gallons are being wasted each month. This can easily double your water bill, not to mention the water being wasted by the inefficient operation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strange Noises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You shouldn\u2019t hear unusual sounds coming from your toilet \u2013 even when it is being flushed. Hearing sounds when a toilet isn\u2019t being used is an even bigger red flag. Gurgling can point to issues with sewage backing up, or there may be a blockage causing slow water flow. Either way, it\u2019s better to address the problem before it gets too serious.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visible Damage to the Toilet Bowl <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you notice visible damage to the outside of the toilet, there may also be damage inside. Cracks in the porcelain can easily worsen over time, leading to leaks or potential structural failure. Your toilet needs to be replaced before the damage impacts its operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is that our team is here to help with all of your plumbing needs, both big and small. Give us a call with any of your concerns, and we are happy to visit your home and fix whatever the problem is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
