Signs You Need Toilet Repairs in Buellton, CA

Call us at Coast Plumbing Solutions when your toilet leaks, overflows, does not flush, barely flushes, or continues running. We will address your plumbing issue immediately because we know how inconvenient a malfunctioning toilet can be.

When you notice these signs, your toilet needs attention:

• If flushing seems weak, slow, and does not clear the contents of the bowl, the rim jets—tiny holes under the toilet rim—may to clogged. The siphon hole on the bottom of the bowl also may be corroded with mineral buildup. The toilet float inside your tank may need adjustment.
• Water around the bottom of the toilet indicates a leak from a broken seal or cracks in the porcelain.
• If you need to jiggle the handle, your toilet may need a new flapper valve.
• The fill valve may be worn if the toilet bowl does not fill after flushing.
• An overflowing toilet typically indicates a clog.

You can count on Coast Plumbing Solutions to provide affordable, quality repairs and installations.

Installing a New Toilet

How do you know when it is time to replace your toilet? Age is a significant factor when weighing repairs versus replacement. It may continue to operate after 20 years, but it also may waste water and cost you money.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says toilets are the main source of water use in homes. Older, inefficient toilets that use more than six gallons per flush are a significant source of wasted water.

Toilet Repairs

Our plumbing pros at Coast Plumbing Solutions can help you choose a quality toilet with a strong flush and water-saving efficiency. Replacing your old toilet is a cost-effective alternative to frequent repairs.

Other signs you should consider replacement:

• Cracked porcelain leads to leaks.
• If your tank leaks, consider replacing the entire toilet. It makes better financial sense.
• An older toilet that clogs frequently is ready for replacement.

Toilet Maintenance Tips

You can prevent common toilet repairs by making maintenance a habit in your home. Avoid flushing wipes, feminine hygiene products, cotton swabs, and other paper items into your plumbing system, even if the labeling claims they are flushable. They are likely to clog your toilet or pipes.

Take a close look at your toilet. Inspect for wet areas or water accumulation at its base, the signs of a leak. Add a few drops of food coloring to your tank, wait about 15 to 30 minutes, and check the bowl. If the bowl contains colored water, your tank is leaking.

Test the valve that shuts off water to your toilet. Consider replacing it if it is rusty or resists movement.
