Toilets – Are they relieving you or worrying you?
There is no plumbing issue worse than a problematic toilet. It could be
leaking pipes, the obnoxious rumbles, the frequent blockages, and the awful
smell. It can be more than a source of nuisance and inconvenience. Not to
mention the embarrassment when you have to host guests.

How do you tell when you have a problem with the toilet?
An issue that is as obvious as a leaking pipe calls for a plumber. However,
some problem may not be as apparent. Some common issues with the toilet
include:
1. Clogging.
When a toilet is clogged, you might try and solve it with a plunger. However,
not all clogged toilets can be xed by a plunger.

2. Bubbles.
Except when you ush it, it is a bad sign if the toilet keeps developing
bubbles. The same is true if the level of water keeps uctuating in the bowl
3. Cracked seat.
As easy as the salesperson may make it sound, it is not something you can
replace it yourself.

4. Running water.
If the water keeps constantly running when not in use, it is a problem, not to
mention the water wastage involved.
5. Sweating toilet tank.
The condensation on the tank can occur especially in hot environments. It will
puddle on the oor and cause damage.
6. Slow moving toilet.
A healthy toilet will ush rigorously. A sluggish toilet on the other hands
signals mineral deposits.
7. Rusting on the hardware.
Rusted nuts and bolts on the bowls, tanks or ush handle can be the
harbinger to more signi cant problems if not handled in its initial stages.
8. Unsteady seat.
Improper installation can be a source of rocking seats, weird movements,
and foul smell. Absence of caulking and not xing the seat to the oor are the
leading causes of this problem.

Repair or Replace
When you have a malfunctioning toilet, it is easy to assume that replacing the
whole unit is the ultimate solution.
But before you go on purchasing the new assembly, it is best to have a
professional assess the scenario.
Although replacement is a good idea, it can often be expensive. A licensed
plumber will know exactly what to replace or repair. However, the following
reasons will necessitate a replacement.
1. A visible crack.
It could be on the bowl or the tank. The cracks developed can be very thin, so
the only way you might detect it is from leaking water. Unlike other problems
that can be easily repaired, cracked porcelain needs to be replaced.
2. Constant clogging.
All toilets need to be plunged once in a while. However, if it needs plunging
multiple times a week, then it is time for the new. This problem is aggravated
if the toilet is an ancient one.

3. Too many repairs.
Although we agree that minor repairs are necessary for most toilets, a unit
that requires constant repairs every other week can be a source of misery.
Nobody has time and money for a toilet that needs continuous attention.
Why do you need a professional plumber?
Unlike the assumptions of many people, a plumber is not only required when
a new pipe or toilet unit needs to be installed or whenever the toilet stops
working. Their services can be indispensable and bene cial in many ways.
1. It saves money.
He can assess the severity of the damages and suggest what needs repair
and what needs replacement. What we might have thought needs replacing
could well be solved by an expert repairing it. The expertise and suggestions
can help us save a lot of money.
2. It is safer.
Licensed professionals such as the ones at Sedco Plumbing take safety very
seriously. They are more capable of handling the problem e ciently.
Employing and making use of the right tools to assist in the work makes it
safer.

PLUMBING
Undertaking the plumbing problem by yourself can be tempting. However, a
small leak can cause ooding of the entire building if handled the wrong way.
3. It saves time.
An experienced plumber can take care of the problem in an e cient manner.
In this day and age, when everyone is in a rush, the faster the issue gets
resolved, the better.
4. It is stress-free.
If we are totally honest with ourselves, a malfunctioning toilet can be the
source of constant worry and stress. Having a professional take care of the
issue can be the end of the concern.
5. Overall diagnosis.
Because we do not have access to the plumbing apart from the pipes inside
the bathroom, we may not understand the source of the faulty toilet. What
we perceived to be a minor issue can be the source of a signi cant problem.
A professional plumber can evaluate the entire plumbing system of the
house or a building and come up with the best solution.
