Expert Toilet Repair in Walled Lake
While it may not look like it from the outside, your toilet is a very complex system with various internal components. All those components must work in unison for your toilet to effectively do its job. If even just one component fails to work correctly, it can end up preventing your entire toilet from flushing properly.
Your toilet has many internal components, which include some of these parts.
- Tank
- Bowel
- Base
- Flapper
- Fill valve
- Float
- Overflow tube
Probably the most common issue that homeowners face with their toilets is leaking. This happens when there’s either cracking or a loose connection. In some cases, the bolts connecting your toilet’s tank to its base may be loose, allowing water to flow out. In other cases, you may have a crack in the toilet base. It’s best to have a repair professional look into the source of the leaking as soon as you notice the issue because water can be very damaging.
Another common issue is a toilet that constantly runs. This is typically an issue with the system’s flapper. There may simply be too much sediment buildup under the flapper that can undergo removal. In other cases, the flapper itself may be faulty and need to undergo replacement service. In rarer instances, the fill tube may be to blame.
Wobbling is one of those issues that you’re going to notice right away. While leaking is definitely possible with this issue, it doesn’t always happen. Wobbling tends to indicate a malfunction with the toilet flange. It could simply be that your bolts are loose or that your floor is deteriorating and no longer capable of holding the flange fast.
One of the issues you may experience is a clog in your toilet. A plumber may be able to relieve that clog and allow your toilet to go back to functioning like normal. In other cases, you may need to call one of our Walled Lake plumbing professionals to use specialized equipment to break up the clog. This holds especially true when there is a clog lower down into the sewer line or multiple clogs in your entire plumbing system.
One particularly annoying issue you may experience with your toilet is that its seat has cracking. This can happen when the seat is not in a proper position. When you sit down, your seat should remain steady and not bend. Unfortunately, if the seat cracks, it will need to undergo replacement immediately to prevent any injuries to your body during use.
