Why Is My Toilet Running?

Monday, April 10th, 2023

Every home has a toilet. They’re necessary components of modern living, as much as a bed or a kitchen sink. But many toilets are left in rough shape since it’s not very well known how to maintain them.

Also, since toilets aren’t the most glamorous part of a house, it can be easy to forget about them and let them fall apart or run into issues over time.

Toilet clogs are pretty notorious, but what about running toilets? A running toilet is a problem, but it’s one that has an explanation. Depending on what the problem might be, you could fix it yourself with the proper tools and hardware equipment.

Or, in many situations, you’ll need the help of a professional plumber. Our goal is to teach our customers about what different signs mean and why you might need to call our team for bathroom plumbing in West Palm Beach, FL.

Don’t Try That: Hire a Professional

Monday, May 11th, 2020

Homeowners often think that any issue that happens within the vicinity of their property can be fixed by them. We understand where it comes from, it’s your property, why shouldn’t you be able to fix what’s yours? From cars to computers, and even plumbing systems, homeowners have started trying more in the past decade to work on their property themselves, and while it might sound like a good idea sometimes—other times it can lead to some serious problems.

Take a car, for instance, if you try to replace a part of your engine on your own without any automotive repair background, you could advance the depreciation of your vehicle by a substantial amount and ruin the car. A similar thing could be said about your home and your plumbing. One wrong move and your plumbing problem could be worsened tenfold. So, when should you call a professional plumber in Stuart, FL? Keep reading to find out.

Why You Should Never Use Chemical Drain Cleaner

Monday, October 28th, 2019

Chemical drain cleaners are a huge concern for us. Widely available at almost every grocery store with well-funded and powerful advertisement campaigns, we’re often serving as the coroner for deceased plumbing systems after they’ve come in contact with these chemicals. As the coroner and gravedigger of so many rotted pipes, we’d really like to prevent these plumbing issues from occurring in the first place, and that starts with talking about how harmful chemical drain cleaners are.

If you’re looking to avoid expensive work on your plumbing in Port St. Lucie, FL (no offense taken, people only call the plumber when they feel like they absolutely have to) then you’re going to want to avoid chemical drain cleaners. They can destroy your plumbing, cause awful health effects, ruin your property and the environment, all while barely working as is.

If you’re still not convinced, keep reading and we’ll surely get you to think otherwise.

Quick, Catch That Toilet! It’s Running!

Monday, October 14th, 2019

No, your toilet isn’t physically running. This blog is not about to discuss whether or not your toilet has legs, but we are going to discuss the type of running that we are all familiar with when it comes to bathrooms. A toilet is a system of valves, plugs, and water tanks, that allows stored up water to “flush” waste down the drain into the septic tank or sewer system. When one of these valves or plugs misbehaves, the water can just drain right out of your toilet’s tank into the sewer without serving its function. Not only is this extremely obnoxious (not having a functioning toilet is a nightmare), but it’s incredibly wasteful. One single day of a running toilet while you wait for a plumber can waste hundreds of gallons of water. While we’d always recommend you call a plumber in Port St. Lucie, FL there are still some things you can try to do on your own to mitigate the damage.

Fixing a Running Toilet

Monday, June 26th, 2017

toilet-open-buttonWe’ve heard the old joke many a time: “Is your toilet running? Then you better go catch it!” It’s a classic, but it’s worth noting that a running toilet can be a serious issue (not that we’re adverse to a bit of toilet humor every now and then). In fact, according to the EPA’s WaterSense resource pages, a running toilet could potentially leak about 200 gallons of water a day! Think about how many dozens of showers, laundry loads, or dishwasher cycles that could have been.

We think it’s important to fix a running toilet as soon as you can in order to protect resources and keep your monthly water bills low. The good news is that it may not be difficult to do! You simply need the right tools and supplies from a local hardware store in many cases. But first, you should be sure a leaky toilet is really your issue.
