Toilet repairs. Those two words are enough to strike fear into the heart of any homeowner. But fear not! As seasoned bathroom experts in Perth, we're here to guide you through the murky waters of toilet maintenance.
First things first. Let’s talk about the most common toilet issue:
We’ve all been there - you flush, you wait, and the water just keeps rising. Panic sets in. Before you freak the f out and call a plumber, it's time to get your hands dirty (not literally, plz wear gloves) and try using a plunger. Sure, it’s not the most glamorous tool in your DIY arsenal, but it’s certainly the most effective. Just make sure you’re using it correctly - place the cup over the hole at the bottom of the bowl, and use a quick, forceful up-and-down motion to create suction.
Another common issue is...
You know, when you hear the sound of water running long after you’ve flushed. Not only is it annoying, but it’s also wasteful and can lead to a higher water bill. The culprit is usually a faulty flapper, which is the rubber seal at the bottom of the tank that allows water to flow into the bowl. The good news is that replacing a flapper is a relatively simple fix that you can do yourself. Just turn off the water supply to your toilet, flush to drain the tank, and replace the old flapper with a new one.
But what if your toilet won’t flush at all? Before you start panicking about having to replace your entire toilet, take a look inside the tank. Is the chain attached to the handle? Is the flapper closing properly? If not, adjust or replace as needed. If everything looks a-okay inside the tank, the problem may be with your water supply. Check to make sure the water supply valve is open and that there are no kinks in the supply line.
Now, let’s talk about another issue that really freaks a lot of people out.
Not only is it messy and unsanitary, but it can also lead to water damage and mould growth if left untreated. The first step is to determine where the leak is coming from. Is it the base of the toilet? The tank? The supply line? Once you’ve identified the source, you can take the appropriate steps to fix it.
If it’s the base, the wax ring may need replacing. If it’s the tank, it could be a problem with the bolts or gaskets. And if it’s the supply line, it may just need to be tightened or replaced altogether, but your plumber will be able to determine the problem and the fix.
Nobody likes to deal with a clogged toilet, here are some other tell-tale signs you might need to replace your toilet:
