Let’s face it: no one wants to be in a house or business with a toilet that isn’t working well. When the toilet isn’t functioning, the entire building around ceases to work. And the unfortunate truth is that there are a number of things that could cause a toilet to act up. They usually work, and they usually work well, but they all face their fair share of issues from time to time.

Thankfully, there are many well-trusted and reliable plumbing companies that can get your toilet fixed in no time at all. And no matter how big the problem is, they can tackle it.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common toilet issues that plague home and business owners - and how they can quickly be remedied.

Clogs: Perhaps the most common problem that a plumber has to deal with is a clogged toilet. No one likes the idea of a clogged toilet but plumbers are able to deftly and quickly deal with this issue so that things are flowing naturally again in no time at all.

There are sadly many things that can clog toilets. From excessive toilet paper to foreign objects to build-up in old pipes, clogged toilets are unfortunately quite common. But the fix is quick, painless, and inexpensive. You can try to do it on your own but you should only let a trained professional plumber tackle this sort of task.

Running Toilet: Not only is a running toilet annoying, but it’s also very expensive too. A toilet that doesn’t stop running won’t only emit a nagging sound all day and night, but it’ll also run up your water bill and you’ll be spending extra cash because you’ll be losing money 24 hours a day.

A plumber can get in there and fix your toilet so that it only runs when it’s supposed to. They will control the flow of water from the tank to the bowl, adjust the flapper valve, and also check the levels of water in the tank. All of this will ensure that the toilet is working well in the future and stops running nonstop.

Leaking: Leaks can happen in multiple parts of the toilet and can cause water damage if they aren’t addressed quickly by a plumber.

The most common leak is usually at the bottom of the toilet and is often caused by a worn-out wax ring that seals the toilet to the floor. If the wax ring is somehow weakened, the water can seep out whenever the toilet is flushed. But another common leak occurs from the tank into the bowl, typically because of a faulty flapper or a cracked tank. Thankfully, plumbers can replace the wax ring, tighten loose connections, or replace defective parts to stop the leak.
