Signs You Need To Schedule Toilet Replacement Services
Toilets aren't usually good conversation starters. They're a touchy subject for some people, and if you bring it up at dinner, someone might kick you under the table. That's a shame, because we've all heard at least one amusing story about a toilet gone wrong. Because knowledge is power, we've put together a guide to help you determine when to replace a toilet.
1. Broken Tank
The location of the crack determines whether or not a repair is necessary. If it's below the water line, you may need to replace the toilet tank. At that point, the majority of homeowners will replace the entire toilet. Tank cracks are not always visible, especially if they are hairlines. If you are unable to locate a visible crack, a plumber should be called in to conduct a more thorough inspection.
2.Constant Flushing
It's normal for water to flow for a while after flushing, but if it's running continuously, that's not a good sign. A running toilet wastes water in addition to making an obnoxious noise. While a running toilet may not necessitate an immediate replacement, it should not be ignored.
3. Persistent Clogging
You have a toilet problem if you pee every other day and it isn't due to avoidable human activities. Keep in mind that older toilets may require more than one flush.
