Common Toilet Issues and How They Happen
There are many everyday reasons why you may be having issues with your toilet. While the causes may be minor, there is a cumulative effect over time that can create blockages and other problems—some minor, some severe.
Clogging Issues
If inappropriate items are flushed, these lead to signs of clogging, like high or low water levels in your toilet. Avoid flushing these to prevent clogging issues:
- Sanitary items such as cotton balls, pads, tampons and condoms, as these can cause blockages.
- Wet wipes, which should never be flushed as they don’t break down the way toilet paper does.
- Hair, which can create a tangled web that traps debris.
- Food scraps that can swell up as are flushed down the toilet (such as flour or rice), as they can create blockages.
- Oils and fats, as they can harden along the insides of a pipe when flushed, eventually creating blockages.
Running Water Problems
If your toilet has a faulty inlet and outlet valve, this may lead to a constant flow of water. This must be fixed quickly to prevent costly waste of water.
Leakage and Seal Failures
In certain instances, repairing a toilet may simply involve replacing worn seals. Worn seals can cause leaks that not only waste water but increase your water bills. It may just be a matter of repairing your toilet flange seals. This is something our team does all the time..
Signs You Might Need Toilet Repairs
Issues with your toilet typically worsen gradually over time. So look out for some of these early warning signs requiring professional toilet repair:
1.
Unusual Sounds or Persistent Running Water
If you hear odd gurgling sounds or have a continual stream of water running in your toilet, this is a problem that should be checked out by a professional.
2.
Frequent Clogs or Overflows
Recurrent blockages usually present as unusually high or low water levels in the toilet and could indicate a bigger problem.
3.
Water Accumulation Around the Base
Water leakage or flooding on the floor around the toilet normally indicates that the seals have failed and need to be replaced.
