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.

Is Your Older Toilet Done for?

Monday, January 8th, 2018

toilet-open-buttonIt would be nice if your plumbing was installed once and lasted forever. Of course, we know that’s not the case.

Not only do they stop working so well after a couple of decades—they can also become outdated.

Sinks become discolored or may start to feel too small. Faucets develop leaks and may not offer all the features you want. It can be easy to decide when to replace these fixtures, but how can you tell when your toilet needs replacement? This may seem like a more difficult decision, but we’re here to help.

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.

How to Tell If Your Toilet Is Leaking

Last week, we talked about the importance of having your toilet professionally repaired if you notice a leak.

But a toilet that is leaking doesn’t necessarily overflow or burst suddenly like other portions of your plumbing system. So how can you be sure that your toilet is wasting water?
