Toilet Repair
Toilet plumbing problems can range from simple to complex. Some common issues include a broken toilet handle or lift chain, a clogged toilet, water pooling around the toilet base, and continually running toilets.
If you experience a clogged toilet, plunging it may temporarily resolve the issue, but if it keeps happening, it could be due to a blockage further down the drain. To fix this, you need to eliminate the clog by using a plunger or a plumbing snake. Water pooling around the base of the toilet can be caused by a hairline crack in the tank, a broken pipe fitting, or disintegrated seals.
You may need to replace the tank or the fittings to fix the problem. If your toilet is continually running, you may need to replace the flapper or the fill valve. Running toilets can cause a spike in your water bill, so it's important to deal with this problem immediately.
Finally, a weak toilet flush can be caused by an issue with the supply pipe or flapper system. Adjusting the fill valve to make the tank fill higher can often solve the problem. Call Stivey's for all your toilet needs.
