You don’t really ever talk about your toilet, do you? Probably never even think about it, until nature calls, or it begins to malfunction. Although toilet fixtures are extra durable; like any other system, time and frequent usage will begin to wear down the inner cogs and valves.
There are quite a few discrepancies that can arise with time, which call for a toilet repair or even a toilet replacement. You may find that the flush no longer works, or has begun to stick and fails to retreat all the way back in. Moreover, deterioration of valves will lead to your toilet running continuously, wasting water and increasing utility bills.

I got quotes from five different plumbers. Not only were they the least expensive, but they took the time to walk me through everything, so I truly understood the cost estimate. They arrived right on time and completed the work as promised. Now for the part that sounds like make-believe; the final cost was less than the original estimate. I kid you not!

Your Toilet Keeps Clogging
While small repairs can always be performed by a handy household member, other major dilemmas will warrant the need for a toilet repair services company, such as Covert Plumbing. If you have been noticing any of the signs below, give us a call and we’ll get right on it!
Your Toilet Doesn't Flush Adequately
If you find yourself waiting for a good 10 minutes just to flush a second time, there is something wrong with the water pipes, the toilet tank or the toilet’s flush valve. In some cases, you may find that the flush does not aim the water efficiently enough. For this you may want to consider a replacement.
Chances are your toilet is of an older model with a newer flush valve in place. Take this as an opportunity for a toilet rebuild. You can find many new and fancy models to choose from.
Water Is Seeping From Your Toilet's Base
If you find water around the base of your toilet’s stem, you are looking at a toilet leak. These can be simple and easy to fix or you’ll need to replace your toilet entirely.
Base leaks usually indicate a problem with the toilet’s wax ring. Overtime, the toilet’s wax ring tends to lose its traction and may get bent out of shape. Toilet’s are generally heavy so make sure you don’t try to take up this toilet repair yourself.
For a toilet repair, you will need to pick up the toilet and steady it in place over the toilet’s wax ring before you can set it down carefully and slowly over the wax ring. If you drop the toilet hastily or don’t take enough care before setting it on the toilet’s wax ring; you will need to redo the entire process.
This could also be from cracks in your toilet’s porcelain. If the cracks are higher up on the bowl’s surface, the water is leaking each time you flush, while cracks at the bottom are dangerous as they could end up leaking waste water too.
Your toilet tank could be the underlying reason for this. If you find that the trail of water starts at a pool located behind the toilet, you should be able to identify that the leak is from the tank instead of the toilet itself.
In general, you should not let water stand for too long in the bathroom or on the floors. Standing water can seep into the wood or tile surface of your floors and cause your ceilings and floors to weaken.
Your Toilet Keeps Running
This is not an easily noticeable leak; unless you are in the habit of checking the toilet bowl after flushing. Sometimes, the toilet’s flush valve loses its ability to lower the flush lever completely and seal it. You may notice that jiggling the knob helps at times.
Though this may work for a little while, you will need to get the toilet’s flush valve replaced. Leaking toilets can drive up utility bills and burn through pockets before you can get a chance to ask how!
Did you know that a crack in a 1/8-inch water pipe can waste as much as 250 gallons of water a day? While a leaking toilet flush valve is the culprit for losing 200 gallons everyday? That’s a lot of your hard-earned money and the earth’s precious and scarce natural resource going to waste!
