3 Signs Your Toilet Needs Immediate Attention

 

Does your toilet need servicing?

Toilet problems can cause anxiety for many. When there's a leak or a clog, you might worry that the water will leave the toilet and flood the bathroom, damaging your flooring. You may also be unable to use your toilet for a period of time. Whatever the issue may be, don't panic yet. We'll help you identify when you should call an experienced plumber for help.

Your Toilet is Running On-and-On

Your toilet should not always sound like it's running well after the most recent flush. If it does, there is an issue with either the chain or the flapper, which can cause leak damage. If you suspect that your floor could be damaged, you should call a plumber for emergency assistance to stop the flow as soon as possible.

Your Toilet is Clogged

When a toilet is clogged, you will surely be able to tell. The water in the bow may rise to the surface because it cannot be drained properly. If this is the case, you can attempt to use a plunger to add pressure and allow the water to move away from the blocked drain. Most cases, when used properly, the plunger is highly effective. However, you may need professional assistance. 

The Seal is Broken 

The wax seal on your toilet is located at the toilet's base. You can tell it is defective if your toilet is leaking. This is another problem that can cause severe damage to your flooring if left untreated. You should call a plumber as soon as possible, and in the meantime, lie down some towels to sop up the water.
