Toilet Repair

Is your toilet causing you grief? A toilet that won't flush is a hassle and just plain gross. Worse yet, the problem might not just be the toilet, it could be a larger problem elsewhere in your drains.

Maybe your toilet just seems to run constantly. This is usually a sign that a leak is present and, if so, it could be wasting 50 gallons of water per day! Here’s how you check and see if your toilet is leaking. Just place a few drops of food coloring in the tank and walk away for about a half hour. When you return, check the bowl. If it’s turned color you have a leak somewhere. The culprit could be a dried out washer that needs to be replaced or a loose bolt that needs tightening.

If you are looking to conserve water, a new toilet can help. Older toilets use 7 gallons per flush. To cut down on this consumption, a more efficient 3.5 gallon or 1.6 gallon model should be installed. Don't worry, modern designs still function flawlessly, they just don't use as much water doing so.
