Toilet Installation and Repair in Phoenix and Surrounding Areas
Toilets play a vital role in household sanitation. They remove waste effectively and hygienically. By doing so, residents aren’t exposed to human waste and potential disease-carrying germs.
Without a well-functioning toilet, diseases like diarrhea can cause malnutrition, sickness, and long-term health problems. Keeping a commode clean is equally as important as using one. For this reason, homeowners need to ensure all fixture components work properly and flush as required.
Homeowners have much to consider when installing a new toilet. When replacing a toilet, the first step is to ensure a proper distance between the fixture, wall, and shower. Then, determine whether the water supply line needs replacing. Also, replace the angle stops during installation to avoid additional problems. Finally, check the toilet flange, which secures the toilet to the floor.
Homeowners with no previous experience in toilet installations or repairs should contact professional service providers for advice on the best construction type.
Common Problems With Toilets
Clogged toilet
Partial blocks or clogs are common toilet issues that prevent the water from flushing. Flushing anything other than biodegradable products can cause this. A rule of thumb is not to flush anything but human waste and toilet paper, even if the product has a “flushable” label.
Leaky toilet
Sometimes, the water from the toilet tank can seep down the drain without the person flushing the toilet. These leaks can be hard to notice and result in thousands of gallons worth of water waste per year. A common reason for this issue is an incorrectly set flapper on the valve seat or a broken valve seat.
Toilet won’t fill
Low water levels can be due to a damaged fill tube, cracked toilet bowl, improperly functioning vent, or damaged fill valve.
Whistling sounds when flushing
If the toilet makes loud whistling sounds, it may signify a faulty tank fill valve, which may be the case in old valves that deteriorate over time.
Sluggish toilet
Toilets connected to a septic system with a sluggish flush often have a blocked leach field. In these cases, the leach field doesn’t let the water seep as needed.
Ghost flushing
When a toilet refills on its own without flushing, it usually means it is losing water internally or externally. This issue can happen intermittently at any time. If there is an external leak, the water will be spotted on the floor.
