Flushing Out the Problem with the Toilet
The bathroom functions completely around the ability to have a safe, reliable and healthy toilet system. It should flush the waste and provide clean water when refilling. It needs to work on demand and be odor free. Sometimes things don’t work the way they should and you are faced with expensive repairs if you wait too long to fix the problem.
A toilet that continues to run and waste water can use over 200 gallons of water a day. Loud noises during flushing can be a sign of a faulty fill valve. Unpleasant odors coming from your toilet may be a signal that there is damage to your drain pipes, not enough water or a defective wax ring. Clogs and backed up toilets cause the most damage to your bathroom and plumbing systems. Unrepaired leaks can rot floors and create a haven for mold and mildew.
Keep track of your water expenses and make sure your toilet is not running continuously. Check for leakage around the seals of your toilet, joints and seams on your pipes. Check the fill valve and flapper to ensure they are working properly. They are located in the tank at the back of the toilet. Concerns about odors, discolorations and other questions should be addressed quickly and professionally to ensure the safety and security for your investment and your well-being.
