Toilet Repair Is Quick and Efficient with McLoughlin Plumbing Heating & Cooling

1. Toilet Running Constantly

Running toilets waste a lot of water, and a defective fill valve is one of the most common reasons for wasted water. This component is designed to ensure the water in the tank is replenished after each flush. If it becomes damaged, water can fill the upper tank more slowly or not at all.

The origin of your problem could also stem from fa damaged flush valve, which directs stored water from the tank into the toilet bowl after each flush. When it breaks or cracks, water could constantly flow into the toilet bowl. If you neglect to replace it, you’re constantly wasting water. Our certified plumbers can quickly replace broken flush valves with a new replacement.

2. The Toilet Can’t Flush

If a toilet isn’t flushing correctly, experienced plumbers will help find out why. A loose or broken 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 look at the nuts inside the tank in the event they’ve come loose and need tightening.

3. A Leaking Toilet

Leaks are an exceedingly common problem in 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. Sometimes you’ll hear dripping sounds in the top tank, meaning water is flowing someplace else. And when the toilet’s bottom starts to leak, the wax ring sealing the toilet to your bathroom floor may be why. When parts just like the wax ring or toilet flange are damaged, water is at risk of pooling around the toilet’s base.

4. The Toilet Is Clogged

Like leaks, clogs are another problem almost everyone deals with at some point or another. Some clogs can be solved with a plunger on hand, but others could be deeper inside the plumbing. To properly clear them and find water damage, it’s better to work with a professional plumber who can spot telltale signs.
