Toilet Repair Is Quicker, More Efficient with United Plumbing Company

1. The Toilet Runs Constantly

Running toilets waste a lot of water, and a faulty fill valve is one of the most common reasons for wasted water. This key part is designed to ensure the water in the tank is replenished after every flush. If it becomes damaged, water can fill the upper tank more slowly or not at all.

The origin of your problem could also stem from a broken flush valve, which is responsible for transferring stored water from the tank into the toilet bowl after flushing. When damaged, water may perpetually flow into the toilet bowl. If you neglect to replace it, you’re constantly wasting water. Our certified plumbers can seamlessly replace broken flush valves with a replacement.

2. Toilet Won’t Flush

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

3. A Leaking Toilet

Leaks are an extremely common problem for plumbing. Toilets leak in several places, but the easiest leaks to find are usually close to the water supply lines and by the bottom of the toilet. Occasionally you’ll notice dripping sounds from the top tank, meaning water is flowing somewhere. And when the toilet’s bottom won’t stop leaking, the wax ring sealing the toilet to the bathroom floor might be why. When parts such as the wax ring or toilet flange are damaged, water is prone to pooling along the toilet’s base.

4. The Toilet Is Clogged

Like leaks, clogs are another problem just about everyone encounters at some point or another. Some clogs can be solved with a plunger on hand, but others could be deeper in the plumbing. To correctly eliminate them and find water damage, it’s better to work with a professional plumber who can recognize telltale signs.
