Toilet Care

  • Mysterious refilling, sounds, when you know that no one has flushed the toilet in the previous half hour or more, usually indicate a leaking flush valve seal. Some refill valves operate by opening & closing rather abruptly so when a leak causes the water level to drop low enough, the valve will suddenly come on just long enough to replace the lost water. Besides being a midnight nuisance, this is a water waster.
  • The trickling of a babbling brook that you hear as you’re quietly meditating on the throne is another sign of a leaking flush valve seal. This too, is a water waster but these leaks can also lead to bigger problems
  • Stalagmites in your bathroom? As your toilet leaks, minerals in the water can settle out of the trickling water, causing the ports and jets of your toilet bowl to clog with mineral scale. Besides that, it’s just plain unsightly! If the jets clog, your toilet may not flush well. If your toilet doesn’t flush well . . . well, you know what that means.
  • Rockin’ on the Throne. No, we’re not talking about Elvis the King. If your toilet wobbles it can be a nuisance. A rocking toilet also means that gasses from the sewers may be entering your home. In some cases, the 6 legged sewer critters you love to hate can be coming through the same way.
  • How to halt a flood. If your toilet begins to overflow, act fast to reduce the flooding. Make sure your emergency water shut-off works. It’s usually located below the left side of the tank as you face the toilet. Over time, these valves can jam with mineral deposits or the sealing surfaces can deteriorate. This can lead to an inoperable valve. Discovering a faulty valve as the water spills over the sides of your toilet is not going to make you happy. Check operation at least once per year to keep the valve in operable condition.

Signs that you may need a new toilet

  • You cringe any time a guest enters the hall bathroom.
  • You keep a plunger next to the toilet.
  • You issue only 5 sheets of toilet paper per bathroom visit.
