North Port Toilet Repair
Most toilets will work without issue for years. They’re built with simple features and parts with minimal movement that don’t wear out quickly. That doesn’t mean that they never require repairs. One of the most common issues homeowners experience is a toilet that leaks. When the leak’s internal, you won’t end up with a flood, but you could have a massive water bill.
A typical cause of internal leaks is a damaged or loose flapper. When you flush your toilet, the handle pulls up the flapper to empty the tank into the bowl. Gravity should return the flapper to its closed position to create a seal once the water drains. If anything disrupts that seal, water will continually leak into the bowl. When the problem’s bad enough, you may even experience a phenomenon called ghost flushing. That’s when your toilet seems to flush without anyone touching it.
Look for the following signs that you need toilet repair:
- Slow flushes
- Loose handle
- A wobbly toilet
- Slow tank refills
- Visible cracks and leaks
Most toilets last for up to 50 years with proper care. Other than damaged porcelain, most other toilet problems are correctable. However, there may come a time when you need a new toilet. You might want to replace a toilet for a bathroom remodeling project. Or, you may want to save water by installing a more efficient toilet. Whatever the reason, our plumbers can handle all of your toilet installation needs. They’ll remove your existing toilet, prepare your plumbing, and put your new toilet in immediately. We recommend toilets from quality brands like Gerber and Kohler.
