How to Solve Common Toilet Problems <\/span><\/p>\n

You know that sinking feeling you get when your toilet starts to overflow or won\u2019t flush? Even a toilet that constantly runs can be more than an annoyance. There are some common toilet problems that, if left untreated, could lead to a lot of water and pipe damage.\"toilet<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some toilet problems can be solved with a quick do-it-yourself fix. Others will require the help of a professional plumber. Here are a few common problems and how to deal with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Running Toilet<\/span><\/p>\n

A running toilet can be annoying and can actually lead to a lot of water waste, which can increase your water bill. We specialize in toilet repair on Long Island and have found that most running toilets have a broken flapper. If you notice water continues to run through your toilet long after you have flushed it you should schedule a repair as soon as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whistling Toilet<\/span><\/p>\n

Another sound toilets make when they need to be repaired is a whistling sound. This usually happens as the tank begins to fill and is more common in older toilets with dated parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

While a whistling toilet doesn\u2019t necessarily mean your toilet is broken, it is an annoying sound and could be a sign that the parts in the tank are beginning to wear down. Contact a plumber and consider replacing the old valve with a newer model.<\/span><\/p>\n

Water Leaks<\/span><\/p>\n

Water leaks can be a pain to deal with but they can also be very damaging. Leaks can signal a problem with your pipes or toilet\u2019s seal and should be addressed right away to avoid expensive water damage to your bathroom walls or floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

In most cases you should contact a plumber to find the leak and repair it. Even small leaks can cause big problems if they aren\u2019t fixed right away.<\/span><\/p>\n

These DIY tips can help you fix some common toilet problems, but some issues require a professional\u2019s experience and equipment. If you aren\u2019t sure why your toilet isn\u2019t working properly or how to make the repair yourself, always contact a professional plumber.<\/span><\/p>\n
