Toilet Repair Is Quicker, More Efficient with Moon Valley Plumbing

1. Toilet Running Constantly

Running toilets use more water, and a faulty fill valve is among the most common reasons for wasted water. This key part is designed to ensure the water in the tank refills after each flush. If damaged, water may fill the upper tank more slowly or not at all.

The source of your problem might also be a broken flush valve, which directs stored water from the tank into the toilet bowl after flushing. If damaged, water may continuously flow into the toilet bowl. If left alone, you’re constantly wasting water. Our experienced plumbers can easily replace broken flush valves with a replacement.

2. The Toilet Can’t Flush

If your toilet isn’t flushing all the way, experienced plumbers will help determine why. A loose or broken flush handle–also known as a flapper–may be the culprit We’ll first check the chain linking the handle to the fill valve system for damage. We’ll also look at the nuts inside the tank if they’ve come loose and need tightening.

3. The Toilet Is Leaking

Leaks are an extremely common problem for plumbing. Toilets can leak in several places, but the easiest leaks to find are usually close to the water supply lines and along the bottom of the toilet. Occasionally you’ll hear dripping sounds in the top tank, indicating water is flowing someplace else. And if the toilet’s bottom is leaking, the wax ring sealing the toilet to your bathroom floor may be why. When parts like the wax ring or toilet flange are damaged, water is more likely to pool along the toilet’s base.

4. The Toilet Is Clogged

Like leaks, clogs are another concern almost everyone deals with at some point or another. Smaller clogs can be solved with a plunger on hand, but others are often deeper in the plumbing. To properly clear them and find water damage, it’s better to get hold of a certified plumber who should be able to spot telltale signs.
