Toilets

Of all the plumbing problems at your home or business, most would rank a clogged toilet at #1. It is also one of the most common plumbing problems that exists and one that is normally easy for an experienced plumber to diagnose and repair.

How can you tell what’s ailing your toilet:
• You may have a clog as a result of facial tissue or another product that wasn’t designed to disintegrate like toilet paper.
• If you have young children, the clog could be a toy or a sock.
• If using a plunger unclogs the toilet, great. However, if the clog is recurring, you will need to call a plumber.
• If your bathroom sink drains well, the trouble is probably a clog in the toilet trap.
• If your sink also drains slowly, you may have a blocked sewer line.  You will need a plumber to diagnose and repair this problem.

New Toilets:
If it is time for a new toilet such as with new construction or a bathroom renovation), you will need to install new commodes. Low-flow toilets use less water per flush, thus helping to conserve water. You may also wish to consider installing a new toilet with all of the latest “bells and whistles”, including automatic flushing, heated seats, mechanical seats and lids and bidet-like features.
