Common Toilet Repairs We Can Do For You:

Toilet repairs are commonly needed to fix smaller issues such as a clogged toilet, a leaking toilet, or a toilet that won't flush properly. Some common toilet repair tasks can include:

  • Unclogging a toilet: To unclog a toilet, you will need to use a plunger or a toilet auger (or snake). A plunger is a tool with a rubber suction cup on the end that is used to create suction and break up the blockage in the toilet. A toilet auger is a long, flexible tool with a curved end that is inserted into the toilet to break up and remove the blockage.  If neither of these solutions work, the clog could be deeper in your plumbing, or it could be a more difficult clog to dislodge.
  • Fixing a leaking toilet: A leaking toilet can be caused by a variety of issues, such as a faulty flapper valve causing the toilet to continually run water, or a worn-out wax ring which could cause water to leak onto your floor. To fix a leaking toilet, you will need to identify the source of the leak and replace the faulty part.
  • Replacing a toilet flapper: The toilet flapper is a rubber seal that covers the opening at the bottom of the toilet tank. Over time, the flapper can become worn or damaged, causing the toilet to leak internally or not flush properly. To replace a toilet flapper, you will need to shut off the water supply to the toilet, remove the old flapper, and install a new one.
  • Replacing a wax ring: The wax ring is a circular piece of wax that seals the gap between the bottom of the toilet and the drain pipe. If the wax ring becomes damaged or degraded, it can cause leaks or other problems. To replace a wax ring, you will need to remove the entire toilet and install a new wax ring.

In conclusion, common toilet repairs include unclogging the toilet, fixing a leak, replacing a flapper valve, and replacing a wax ring. These tasks can typically be done by a homeowner with some basic DIY skills, but if you are unsure or uncomfortable attempting the repair, it is best to hire a professional plumber like Flush Away Plumbing Company.
