The most common issues with a household toilet include:
Clogs: One of the most common toilet issues is a clog, which can occur when too much toilet paper or other materials are flushed. A plumber can use a plunger or a snake to remove the blockage.
Running toilet: A running toilet is another common problem, which occurs when the flapper valve or the fill valve that controls the flow of water into the toilet tank is not functioning properly. This can be caused by a worn out flapper valve or a malfunctioning fill valve.
Leaks: Toilets can leak from several different places, such as the tank, the base, or the bowl. Leaks can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a worn out wax ring or a corroded supply line.
Low flush: Toilets can have low flush power, which can be caused by a clogged jet hole, a faulty flapper valve, or a worn out flush valve.
Overflow: Toilets can also overflow, which can be caused by a clog in the main sewer line or a malfunctioning flush valve.
Worn out parts: Toilets can have worn out parts like flapper, fill valve, flush valve, which can cause all of the above issues.
It’s important to address these issues as soon as possible to prevent further damage or costly repairs. A plumber can diagnose and fix these problems, and also provide maintenance that can prevent these problems from happening again.
