Common Toilet Repairs

When you notice any signs of toilet trouble, our service professionals will inspect your toilet. We’ll quickly locate the problem and offer a solution. Some of the most common toilet repairs we perform include the following:

• Running Toilet – The most common cause of a running toilet is a damaged flapper. We can quickly replace your flapper to help stop the continuous flow of water.
• Toilet Water Runs Too Long – If water continues to run after you’ve flushed and the tank refills, you may have an issue with your fill valve. A fill valve wears down due to old age and debris.
• Leaking Toilet – If your toilet is leaking, we work quickly to lower the risk of water damage. We inspect for corroded pipes, cracks in the toilet, loose bolts, gasket issues, and broken seals.
• Toilet Will Not Flush – If your toilet won’t flush, we first check to ensure the chain is connected to the handle and flapper. If this is connected, we will inspect your valves.

Toilet Repair vs. Toilet Installation

Is fixing a toilet or buying a new one better? 

Whether to fix a toilet or buy a new one depends on the severity and type of issue. Minor issues, such as a broken handle or a worn-out flapper, are often inexpensive to repair. However, if the toilet has significant cracks in the porcelain, is frequently clogged, or is over 20 years old, it may be more cost-effective and efficient to replace it with a new model. Newer toilets also offer better water efficiency, saving money on utility bills in the long run. If you’re unsure what route to go, contact us today to ask about our residential toilet repair and installations. 

How do I unclog a toilet? 

To unclog a toilet, you can start with a plunger. Ensure the plunger creates a good seal over the drain,  

then push and pull steadily. If this doesn't work, a toilet snake can break up or retrieve the clog. Simply insert the snake into the toilet bowl and crank it to push through the obstruction. If these methods fail, calling a professional to address the issue might be necessary. 

Why does it smell every time I flush the toilet? 

Every time you flush the toilet, a foul odor could signify a few potential issues. It may indicate a problem with the sewer line, such as a blockage or break, allowing sewer gases to escape. It could also point to a malfunctioning wax ring seal at the toilet's base, which prevents sewer gas from leaking into your home. Additionally, bacteria buildup in the toilet's rim or tank can cause persistent foul odors. Identifying and addressing the source of the smell is important to maintaining a healthy home environment. 

Why is sewage rapidly coming up from my toilet? 

Rapid sewage backup in your toilet is usually a sign of a severe blockage or problem within the main sewer line. This blockage can cause waste to go back into the toilet and potentially other drains within the house. Common causes include tree roots infiltrating the sewer line, the buildup of non-flushable items, or damaged pipes. Immediate action is required; stop using plumbing fixtures and contact a professional to assess and provide a solution to the issue to prevent damage to your property and maintain sanitary conditions. 

What are the signs that my toilet needs to be replaced? 

Signs that your toilet might need replacing by Mr. Rooter Plumbing of North Colorado include frequent leaks, cracks in the porcelain, and needing constant repairs. Additionally, if your toilet is over 20 years old, it may not be as efficient as modern models, resulting in higher water bills. Slow or incomplete flushes can also indicate that a replacement may be due, as new toilets offer improved flushing technology that can address these issues more effectively. 

How can I improve my toilet's water efficiency? 

Upgrading to a high-efficiency toilet (HET) or a dual-flush model can improve your toilet's water efficiency. HETs use significantly less water per flush than older models. Installing a dual-flush system allows for selecting a lower water volume flush for liquid waste and a higher volume flush for solid waste. Additionally, promptly checking for and repairing any leaks, particularly in the flapper valve, can prevent unnecessary water waste and improve overall efficiency.
