<\/p>\nMost toilets operate problem-free for years but some common toilet problems do arise from time to time. Most of them require simple inexpensive DIY fixes. Combining common sense with regular maintenance and inspection gives years of efficient toilet operation.<\/p>\n
Most people never look inside a toilet tank until something goes wrong. Be a little proactive, take the lid off, and watch the mechanics in action when they are operating properly. Being familiar with what to expect helps diagnose and repair problems\u2013if and when they happen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most common toilet problems start small and can be fixed easily and inexpensively\u2013by the homeowner. When not attended to early, you might require the services of a plumber which is costly and time-consuming.<\/p>\n
Toilet clogs start small and can be easily cleared with a plunger. Or at worst, with a toilet snake. Causes of clogs include:<\/p>\n
A constantly running toilet wastes water and money. It can usually be fixed by:<\/p>\n
Leaks commonly occur at tank penetrations or where the toilet joins the sewer pipe. They are:<\/p>\n
To find the leak, empty the tank and dry it out. Turn the water back on and watch for leaks. Replace gaskets and seals as required. (Adding food coloring to the water makes it easier to find the source of the leak.)<\/p>\n
A toilet that won\u2019t flush might cause a little panic. No need. It is often one of the simplest repair jobs.<\/p>\n
As long as you can get the top off the tank and water flows into it, you can flush the toilet manually by lifting the flapper.<\/p>\n
A weak flush is almost as annoying as no flush. It does not generate enough power or weight to move everything out of the bowl. Weak flushes usually have one of three causes.<\/p>\n
Most toilet seats don\u2019t last forever. Cracked toilet seats are a real pain in the butt. They are easy and inexpensive to replace. Remove the two nuts holding the seat on the toilet and install a new seat. Almost all toilet seats fit existing bolt openings in the bowl.<\/p>\n
Loose toilet seats can be repaired just by tightening the two bolts holding the seat in place.<\/p>\n
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when fixing common toilet problems.<\/p>\n
