When a toilet in your home fails, not only is it an inconvenience but it is a sign that there are other problems going on that may not be visible to the naked eye. Figuring out the cause of the problem sooner rather than later is how you keep major repairs at bay and the costs to repair lower. From leaky toilets to clogged toilets, our plumbers have the expertise to identify problems quickly and make repairs that last.
Clogged Toilet Repair
This is the number one problem we address at My Hollywood Plumber Hero. Toilets clog for many different reasons, but most of the time this situation can be prevented. As part of our repair services, we educate our customers on how they can protect their toilets from recurrent clogs. By instructing you on what can and cannot go into the toilet, we’ll help you minimize clogs and save money on repair costs.
If you’ve tried using the plunger and the clog continues, it is likely that the blockage is too far into the drainpipe to be affected by the plunger’s suction. In scenarios like this you need powerful drain cleaning solutions such as hydro-jetting.
Leaky Toilet Repair
Here’s a fact to consider: Leaky toilets can use as much as two gallons of water in one minute. If a leak persists for days or weeks, consider how much water and money is being wasted. By identifying leaks early on and fixing the problem, you’ll not only protect your home from water damage but you’ll save money too.
There are three kinds of leaky toilets: base leaks, leaks between the tank and the bowl, and leaks exclusively in the tank. Base leaks are the easiest to identify because you can visibly see the water leaking from the base of the toilet.
A sure indicator that there is a leak inside the tank is a constantly running toilet. Other signs of tank leaks are phantom flushing, sweating, whistling sounds, and water trickling from the sides of the tank. Replacing the hardware in the tank will often solve these problems.
Leaks between the toilet bowl and toilet tank are harder to identify with the naked eye. However, using food coloring you can diagnose this kind of leaky tank. Put a few small drops of food coloring into the tank and wait to see if the color appears in the bowl. Do not flush. If the coloring shows up in the bowl, you have a leak and should call for service.
Toilet Replacement
When cracks form in the porcelain, it’s time to consider purchasing a new commode. You may even want to consider a new toilet purchase if the toilets in your home are old, constantly giving you problems, or you want to improve water efficiency.
Our plumbing pros can help you purchase a new model and also offer warrantied, toilet installation.
