About leaking and clogged toilets

The need for immediate action is obvious. If it is about the leak, you need to stop the wastage of water. The leakage might also prevent the toilet from being flushed properly. The waste might not go down properly and you might need more water to make it go down.

You also need to do toilet repair immediately if it’s clogged. Aside from being a gruesome sight, the water might overflow. Many of us have the tendency to use force and more water to make the waste go down. The thing is the waste won’t still go down.  That results to water overflow and some flooding on the surrounding area. That leads to more problems.

So how can you do toilet repair? Let us discuss how to repair clogged and leaking toilets.

Clogged toilet repair

One of the most common causes of clogged toilets is the accumulation of toilet paper and waste. Another cause is the accidental flushing of common objects such as small toys and jewelries. Those things clog the toilets and prevent the waste from going further down. So the obvious solution is to remove the clog or make it move further down. This way the water and the waste can freely move.

The first solution that comes to mind is plunging. If you choose to do it, you need to do some preparations. For example, you don’t want to avoid wetting the floors. You need to put some old newspapers around to keep the floor dry. No matter how careful you are, plunging will cause some water to drip on to the nearby surface.

Most of us know how to use a plunger. You just put it in the toilet and do some pumping. The goal is for the clog to move slightly so it goes further down the drain. You do this repeatedly until the water in the toilet somehow clears up. That’s the signal that the clog has successfully moved down.

If plunging doesn’t work, some people use chemicals to dissolve the clog somehow. Just be careful with that because chemicals might cause harm to your eyes and skin. Some also use a drain snake to remove the clog. But it’s still advisable to hire professionals to do the drain snaking. They know what specific tools to use and how to do the job properly.

Leaking toilet repair

Leaking or running toilets are a bit harder to fix than the clogged ones. Why? Because you have to know the parts and any amount of force won’t help much. If you do a leaking toilet repair carelessly, the problems could get worse and the flush won’t work properly at all.

To give you an idea, here’s how to fix your leaking toilet. First you need to make sure that it’s actually leaking. You remove the lid of the tank and put some blue fabric conditioner into it. Then you wait for at least 10 minutes. If the water in the toilet bowl becomes blue, that’s a clear sign there’s a leak.

Once you’re sure there’s a leak, you now need to fix it. First figure out what causes the leak. Is it the flapper? Maybe because it has accumulated deposits or it just got warped due to old use. You might need to clean or replace it depending on the situation.

Is it the plastic balloon? Is it the chain that connects the flush lever and rubber flapper? Replacements might be needed to get rid of the running toilet problem. Most people would get lost at this because it’s not that simple. You have to do a few tests so you’re sure of the problem.

That’s why many homeowners just prefer experienced professionals to do the running toilet repair. It’s much simpler and they really solve the problem. It’s not just for running toilets. Clogged toilets might also need a professional hand to do the job.
