Common Toilet Problems to Look For
For the most part, when you have a serious toilet problem in Tacoma, you will know right away. Having said that, it is a good idea to look for the following issues, so that you can be proactive and have your toilet problems fixed before they turn into something a little more serious.
Flushing Issues
Perhaps the most common issue that you will run into has to do with your toilet not flushing properly. It might be a weak flusher, where not everything goes down when you flush.
If you find yourself in this situation, the age of the toilet comes into play. Toilets made between January 1994 and summer 1997 commonly have these issues and there is nothing to do to fix it. Older toilets that were made prior to 1994 could end up with hard water deposits. This can be cleaned by a plumber if it is the issue.
Another common flushing issue is when the water pressure is strong, but it still only ends up flushing partially. In most cases, this means that there is a problem with your flapper valve. If the problem continues after looking at this valve, give us a call because it could be something that is more serious.
Problems With the Tank Filling
Other common toilet issues have to do with the tank filling up. For some, there could be a whistling sound as water enters the tank. This usually signals that you have an old ballcock valve, which is a technology that isn’t really used anymore. Luckily, it is an easy job for us to replace your valve with something that is a little more modern and it won’t cost you a whole lot either.
You might also hear a dripping while your toilet is filling, which is another simple problem to fix. In most cases, this means that the tube that is used to refill the tank has fallen inside the overflow tube. All we will have to do is clip the refill tube to point it where it needs to go to stop the dripping sound.
