The toilet is a vital piece of functional plumbing in your home. You can’t get along without one!

When Should I Replace the Toilet in My Bathroom?
Monday, November 27th, 2017Why Your Toilet Won’t Stop Running
Monday, June 26th, 2017
There are sounds you expect to hear from appliances and fixtures in your house, and you know how long these sounds should continue. For example, after a toilet is flushed, you should hear the sound of running water for about a minute afterwards. This is water coming from the feed line to fill up the tank to a set level, ready to rush down into the bowl for the next flush.
But if the sound of running water continues for more than a minute after the flush, there’s something wrong. Often, all it takes to correct the problem is to jiggle the handle or flush the toilet a second time. If the issue persists, there’s something wrong in the tank or elsewhere in this vital fixture that will need to be repaired.

Troubles You May Notice with a Bathroom Toilet
Monday, January 16th, 2017The toilet is one of the major essentials in a home’s plumbing—a “can’t live without it” appliance. It also accounts for around 40% of the fresh water used inside a house. You simply can’t afford to have a clogged, leaking, or non-functional bathroom toilet. Although you can fix some basic problems on your own (like using a plunger for a simple clog), many of the common troubles that toilets encounter require the help of professional plumbers who offer bathroom plumbing services.
Below are a few of the problems you may notice with your toilet. Don’t ignore them, since they could soon lead to worse issues, such as leaking that can create damage to the floors. Water damage is expensive to remediate!

The Different Ways That Toilets Can Leak
Monday, August 29th, 2016Here’s a fact you may not have known: the bathroom toilet consumes a greater volume of fresh water than any other indoor household fixture. More than a third of your home’s indoor water use each month is due to flushing the toilet. This is why it’s important to deal rapidly with any toilet malfunction, such as when the toilet begins to leak. This is a major waste of water. (And it will cause damage to the floor that can in extreme cases lead to collapse.)
