Signs That It’s Time to Replace Your Toilet

You put a lot of effort into maintaining your home and ensuring everything is in working order. One of the most important systems you need to maintain is your plumbing. And when your toilet doesn’t work properly or it appears to be damaged, the ordeal can be frustrating, and it can be difficult to determine when it’s time to give in and replace the toilet entirely. Yet many people don’t realize the warning signs that it’s time to buy a new toilet. Like other appliances throughout your home, there are telltale signs you may be facing a toilet emergency in the near future. Here are some signs that you might need to replace your toilet:

Constant Repairs

There are many reasons why your toilet won’t flush that you can fix yourself, without the aid of a plumber. But if you’re having to perform these repairs on a weekly or even daily basis, it’s time to start weighing the cost of continuous repairs against the cost of a new toilet. Especially if the repairs start becoming less simple and require you to pay for a service call.

Your Toilet is Cracked

It’s Common for older toilets to develop small cracks over time. They can appear in the bowl, in the tank, or other areas. Once you have a small crack, it’s likely to expand and turn into a leak. Since your toilet is holding water all the time, even the smallest leak can result in a serious problem. Cracks can sometimes be repaired, but some require you to replace your entire toilet.

Your Toilet Wobbles

The best-case scenario with a wobbling toilet is that the bolts used to install it to the floor are loose. In this case, they can simply be tightened and you’ll be good to go. However, in some cases a wobbly toilet could come from a rotten floor under the toilet, which is often caused by water damage. The best way to confirm is to remove your toilet and see if there’s water damage underneath. Call Daniels Plumbing for help.

Utility Bills are High

Toilets have really improved over the years. One example is the fact that they are much more efficient than they used to be. That means that they can work just as well with a fraction of the water. If your water bill is higher than you’d like, then it may be time for you to have a new toilet installed.
