Clogged Toilets

Clogs can form when too much toilet paper is flushed. Using septic safe toilet paper is the best way to prevent clogs from forming. Most major toilet paper brands are septic and sewer safe, but it is always a good idea to double-check. You can find this information on the toilet paper’s packaging.

Flushing items like paper towels, facial tissues, and other paper products are a big no-no. You may be able to get away with flushing these items two or three times, but what happens is that they eventually gather in the trap or farther in the drainpipe. In some cases, these items may make it as far as the sewer line before they begin to cause problems – MAJOR problems.

Running Toilets

Have you noticed your toilet running for a long period of time after you’ve flushed? This is a fairly obvious sign that your toilet is leaking – not on the outside, but the inside. When a toilet is allowed to continue to leak on the inside, it has the potential to cause damage to your bathroom and your finances. It doesn’t take much for a leaky toilet to waste as much as two gallons of water in a single minute. The longer you allow the situation to build, the more likely it is that you’ll be wasting a lot of money.

Toilets usually leak because of a worn out or faulty pieces of hardware such as the flush valve assembly or the flapper valve. If you find yourself jiggling the toilet handle, walk away from the toilet and call your friendly plumber in Tempe, AZ for plumbing service. The money you save on water costs over the next couple of months will more than reimburse you for the plumbing repairs.

New Toilet Replacement

Have you tried everything you can think of to get your toilet to start working properly? It may be that no amount of repairs will get your toilet working like new. In cases like this it is more likely that you’d be better off purchasing a new toilet. Modern toilets conserve water. They also offer a number of enhanced features such as dual-flush, no-touch automatic flushing, and more. If your toilet was made before the mid-1990s, installing a new toilet will save you money!

Our plumbers are always happy to recommend toilets of all brands and models. Do you already have a toilet you’ve purchased? Our plumbers will gladly help you install it.
