Signs Toilet Repair Is Needed
The sooner the need for repair is acted upon, the better the odds are of a cost-effective solution. If the four signs below are present, it’s a good time to reach out to our office:
- Constant leaking is usually caused by a faulty seal or an issue with the water supply line. If left unchecked, the consequences can include water damage and costly repairs.
- Frequent clogs can be caused by a variety of factors, including improper installation or incorrect flushing.
- Flushing problems can be caused by a number of issues, from faulty installation to a malfunctioning flapper valve.
- A loose toilet handle may indicate a worn out flush lever or linkage assembly.
The Risks of DIY Toilet Repair
There are two things we understand—we know a lot of people, including many of our customers, are very handy around the house. We also know we have a natural bias in favor of calling in a San Antonio toilet repair and installation tech. But there are four very good reasons that professional help makes the most sense:
- Toilets are complex pieces of equipment, with many connections and parts that require specific knowledge and tools to work on. Without the right experience or training, attempting DIY repairs can lead to costly mistakes.
- Even if people with some plumbing experience face an increased risk of error when working on a toilet. A small mistake can cause a big problem, such as flooding the bathroom or leaving a bigger issue than whatever the original problem was ..
- Small leaks in toilets can quickly become bigger problems if not addressed properly. Water damage from leaking toilets can be expensive to repair, and may even lead to mold growth in your home.
- Taking on a DIY toilet repair project may seem like a good idea at first, but it could end up taking up more time than originally anticipated. Homeowners have a limited amount of time to spend with family, friends, and hobbies. Business owners have a limited amount of time to sell their product or service. What is the value of the time that gets lost to DIY toilet repair?
The Signs a Toilet Needs to Be Replaced
Eventually a toilet will reach the end of its lifespan. Either it no longer works at all, or the accumulate costs of repair are becoming more than what the investment would be in a new toilet. The problem signs noted above, if they go to an extreme, are signs it’s time for a new installation. So are these four indicators:
- Cracks in the porcelain can become more and more pronounced, leading to water leakage and potential flooding.
- Wobbling toilets can be caused by uneven flooring or an improperly installed toilet, and should not be ignored, as they can lead to further damage over time.
- Surface damage, such as chips or scratches, can indicate that the toilet has seen better days and should be replaced.
- Built-up mineral deposits on the inside of the bowl can cause staining and discoloration that cannot be removed with regular cleaning products.
It’s important to recognize when a toilet needs to be changed in order to keep the home or business safe and sanitary.
