Brooklyn toilet repair experts
at Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning to help solve any issues. There are a number of reasons that your toilet may be leaking. The most
common problems of toilet leaks
include:
Leak Around the Base of the Toilet
To
prevent toilet leaks
, in
a toilet is installed with a wax seal that is designed to help your toilet fit properly against your floor. Over time, the wax seal can break down or can become dislodged, leading to a leaking situation. If you notice your
toilet water leaking
at the base, you need to have a new wax seal installed to ensure proper fit.
Toilet Leaks and Toilet Clogs
Families, especially with younger children, have likely experienced a situation where a foreign object is flushed that leads to a clog. Oh, the stories our technicians could tell about what they’ve found. Other clogging situations can come from having an improper amount of water flow or the use of too much toilet tissue. Clogs that are left untreated can force water back up into your bowl, overflowing the top. This can present a serious water issue, along with a dangerous health situation related to dirty water.
Constant Running Water From Your Toilet
If your
home toilet continues to run after flushing
, the reason is usually worn-out components in the toilet. Besides being annoying, a constantly running toilet can make your water bill rise drastically, costing you money. Replacing or repairing the inner workings of your toilet by a professional plumber can easily fix the situation.
