Top Signs it's Time for a new Toilet

Well, when the toilet is unable to do its job, it tends to become the main topic of discussion, because "Hey, is it fixed yet? I gotta go!" If you're facing toilet troubles it may be time for a new one, especially if you've been calling on a plumber time and time again. If you experience one or more of the following signs it is time for a new toilet, be sure to contact a reputable plumber immediately.

Constant Clogging

Random, excessive clogging is a common sign of a tiring toilet. Not only are these blockages unfavorable to deal with, but they also disrupt your day. Clogging that regularly occurs can indicate wearing parts that are preventing the toilet from flushing correctly.

Cracked Porcelain

Cracks in the tank or bowl are not just unsightly, they can cause water leaks, which is a huge waste of resources that can increase your water bill. To test if the cracks you see are causing leaks you can put dye in the water of the bowl or tank and see if it leaks out.

Low Flush Power

Toilets that no longer flush with normal force may require repair or replacement of the internal parts. However, this may be a great time to install a new water-efficient toilet that will save money.

Leaking

If the floor around your toilet is constantly wet there is a good chance that the water is leaking from the toilet. Contact a plumber so that accurate diagnostics can be completed to ensure the leak is properly repaired.

Constantly Running

Does your toilet sound as if it's constantly flushing? It actually may be, meaning it's draining and refilling continuously, which is a massive waste of water and money.
