Here are our answers to the most common Toilet Related Plumbing Problems.
Why doesn’t my toilet flush all the way?
If your toilet isn’t flushing all the way, it’s most likely because of one of these problems: clog in the toilet, scale build up in the jets of your toilet, the water level in your toilet tank is set too low, problems with your flapper, or clog in your drain.
Why is my toilet leaking from the bottom?
A common reason for a toilet leak from the base is a loose connection where the tank meets the toilet. Make sure to check the connecting bolts. If they seem loose or you can see water gathering in that area, use the screwdriver to tighten them. Another common reason your toilet is leaking from the bottom is that there might be a bad wax seal. If you need help with this, please call Marines Service Co..
Why is my toilet wobbly or unbalanced?
A wobbly toilet happens when they aren’t held securely to the floor, and if you let the wobble persist, it can leak and give you more serious problems. More often than not, the wobble is caused by loose toilet bolts, but the flange may also be responsible. It may be corroded, broken, or set too high. Marines Service Co. can figure out the root cause.
Why is my toilet running?
A running toilet can be costly; more than 200 gallons of water can be lost each day from a single running toilet. The most common problem is a faulty flapper valve which controls the water that passes from the tank to the bowl. This is a fairly straightforward fix with a toilet repair kit available at any hardware store. Another reason could be caused by sediment
affecting the flushing and filling. If your water bills seem high, check for silent leaks by putting some food coloring in the upper tank and see if it makes its way to the bowl without flushing.
Why is my toilet clogged?
When the toilet bowl fills up and doesn’t drain away, you’ve got a clog. The blockage is normally caused by a mixture of paper and human waste. Clogged toilets can normally be fixed with a plunger. If that doesn’t work, then a sewer snake or drain auger can be used to loosen up the blockage. If all else fails, call Marines Service Co. to clear the clog. Click to learn more.
