The toilet is one of the most important plumbing fixtures in your home, yet it’s often overlooked when it comes to maintenance. A malfunctioning toilet can be a huge inconvenience, especially if you have only one bathroom. Whether it be a leak, a clog, or an issue with the tank, a faulty toilet is one of the last things you want to deal with in your home.
As a homeowner, it is important to know when your toilet is in need of repairs. Fixing toilet problems in a timely manner helps you prevent inconveniences, saves you money, and gives you peace of mind. In this article, Acknowledge Plumbing outlines three signs you need professional toilet repair.
A constantly running toilet is more than just an annoying sound—it’s a sign that something is wrong inside the tank. The common culprits behind a continuously running toilet include a faulty flapper, damaged fill valve, or improperly adjusted float. To fix a constantly running toilet, inspect the flapper for wear or misalignment. If it’s not sealing properly, replace it with a new one. Check the fill valve for damage and adjust the float height to control water levels. If you’re unable to fix the problem, call a local plumbing repair service specializing in toilet replacement

If your toilet isn’t flushing properly, leaving waste behind or requiring multiple flushes, it could indicate low water levels, a clogged rim jet, or problems with the flushing mechanism. A toilet that won’t flush properly can be embarrassing at the very least and unsanitary at worst. Ignoring this issue could result in more serious plumbing complications, so it’s important to address it promptly.
Occasional clogs happen, but if your toilet frequently backs up, it’s a sign of a deeper issue. Frequent clogs are commonly caused by a weak flush, a partial blockage in the drainpipe, or using too much toilet paper. In some cases, it may happen that non-flushable items have made their way into the drain lines. Repeated clogs not only create inconvenience but can also lead to overflowing, water damage, and costly repairs if left unchecked. Nothing can ruin your bathroom experience like a frequently clogging toilet.
Thankfully, clearing minor toilet clogs is a simple DIY job. Use a plunger to clear minor clogs and a toilet auger for deeper blockages. Avoid flushing items like wipes, paper towels, or feminine products that can cause clogs. If the problem persists, call the professional plumbers at Acknowledge Plumbing for professional toilet repair if you’re unable to clear the clog yourself.
