Toilet Repair Is Quick and Efficient with Freedom Heating & Cooling

1. The Toilet Runs Constantly

Running toilets end up wasting water, and a defective fill valve is one of the most common reasons for wasted water. This valve is responsible for making sure the water in the tank is refilled after each flush. If damaged, water could fill the upper tank more slowly or not at all.

The root cause of your problem could also stem from a broken flush valve, which directs stored water from the tank into the toilet bowl after each flush. When it breaks or cracks, water might continuously flow into the toilet bowl. If left alone, you’re constantly wasting water. Our qualified plumbers can seamlessly replace broken flush valves with a replacement.

2. Toilet Isn’t Flushing

If a toilet isn’t flushing correctly, experienced plumbers will help figure out why. A loose or damaged flush handle–also known as a flapper–may end up being the culprit We’ll first check the chain connecting the handle to the fill valve system for damage. We’ll also refasten the nuts inside the tank in the event they’ve become loose and need tightening.

3. The Toilet Is Leaking

Leaking is a particularly common problem for plumbing. Toilets leak in several places, but the easiest leaks to find are usually near the water supply lines and near the bottom of the toilet. Occasionally you’ll hear dripping sounds from the top tank, which means water is flowing somewhere. And if the toilet’s bottom starts to leak, the wax ring sealing the toilet to your bathroom floor could be why. When parts like the wax ring or toilet flange are damaged, water is more likely to pool along the toilet’s base.

4. The Toilet Is Clogged

Like leaks, clogs are another problem just about everyone experiences at some point or another. Smaller clogs can be fixed with a plunger on hand, but others are often deeper in the plumbing. To properly clear them and uncover water damage, it’s better to work with a trained plumber who should be able to spot telltale signs.
