Toilet Repair Is Faster, More Effective with Taylor Heating Inc.

1. The Toilet Won’t Stop Running

Running toilets waste a lot of water, and a damaged fill valve is among the most common reasons for wasted water. This key part is supposed to make sure the water in the tank is refilled after each flush. If it becomes damaged, water may fill the upper tank more slowly or not at all.

The root cause of your problem is instead a broken flush valve, which transfers stored water from the tank into the toilet bowl after flushing. If damaged, water could perpetually flow into the toilet bowl. If you neglect to replace it, you’re constantly wasting water. Our trained plumbers can easily replace broken flush valves with a replacement.

2. Toilet Won’t Flush

If your toilet isn’t flushing correctly, experienced plumbers will help figure out why. A loose or damaged flush handle–also known as a flapper–may be the culprit Your plumber should first check the chain connecting the handle to the fill valve system for damage. We’ll also look at the nuts inside the tank if they’ve come loose and need tightening.

3. A Stubborn Leak

Leaks are a particularly common problem for plumbing. Toilets can leak in several places, but the easiest leaks to discover are usually near the water supply lines and by the bottom of the toilet. Occasionally you’ll hear dripping sounds coming from the top tank, meaning water is flowing elsewhere. And if the toilet’s bottom starts to leak, the wax ring that seals the toilet to the bathroom floor might be why. When parts just like the wax ring or toilet flange are damaged, water is more likely to pool along the toilet’s base.

4. The Toilet Is Clogged

Like stubborn leaks, clogs are another concern just about everyone deals with at some point or another. Smaller clogs can be solved when you have a plunger on hand, but others may be deeper inside the plumbing. To completely resolve them and uncover water damage, it’s better to get hold of a trained plumber who is able to notice telltale signs.
