Common Toilet PLUMBING Problems

Toilet problems are an everyday occurrence in Adelaide homes. Most homeowners will encounter a problem with their toilet at some stage. Some of these problems will require a professional plumber to fix, but there are many you can repair yourself.

Blocked Toilet

A blocked toilet is the most common toilet problem you’ll come across in your home. In most cases, a plunger can clear the blockage. If this doesn’t work contact a professional and licensed plumber who can investigate the cause of the blockage using CCTV technology and promptly clear it. Clogged toilets can not only be inconvenient but also lead to other problems. We can help to unclog the toilet for you.

Leaking toilet

You suddenly notice unexplained water around your toilet and instantly think it’s a costly repair. Not necessarily. The problem could be as simple as replacing the seal around your toilet. You can attempt this repair yourself, however, for a long-lasting and professional job contact the licensed plumbers at Lucas Plumbing and Gas Solutions. If you have a leaking toilet then it can not only cause a mess everywhere but can also smell. Be very careful not to let the leaking toilet go into the carpet in your house.

Problems with flushing the toilet

If your toilet won’t flush at all, there is more than likely a problem in the cistern. Look at the components for anything that appears worn, broken or out of place and call a plumber for assistance.

Similarly, if the toilet is not flushing correctly, the problem is most likely in the tank. Sometimes, a low water level will cause this problem and if you find this is the case the fix is as simple as increasing the level.

Broken Toilet

You will most definitely need to call a plumber if your toilet is broken and needs to be replaced or if the problem lies deep within the pipework. Lucas Plumbing and Gas Solutions can provide a quote to replace your toilet. We can also repair and maintain other plumbing in your kitchen, bathroom and laundry.

How to take care of your toilet

Let’s face it – nobody wants toilet problems! Often when they occur, it’s an urgent job to fix, and it’s also a pain to go without a proper functioning toilet while you wait for a plumber to arrive. 

 There are a few things that homeowners can do to ensure their toilet stays in top shape and help prevent costly repairs.

Clean your toilet regularly and have a look inside the cistern for problems 

Ok, so this is a no brainer. Cleaning your toilet often will help to keep it running like clockwork. You don’t have to use harsh cleaners either, a simple solution of vinegar with a little baking soda is all that’s needed for a quick clean. Cleaning your toilet will also help you quickly spot cracks, chips and leaks. Every six months take a look inside the cistern for any wear or damage.

Don’t use chemical drain cleaners in your toilet

So you have a blockage in your toilet, and you’ve tried the plunger, and nothing is working. Now is the time to call a plumber for help. Chemical drain cleaners are not suitable for a toilet drains, particularly if you have a septic system. Not only are the chemicals used particularly unhealthy, but they can damage older pipes which will only lead to a bigger and more expensive repair.

Attend to leaks as soon as possible

A leaky or running toilet might not seem like a huge issue, but that small leak could be adding big dollars to your water bill. Plus leaving a problem can also lead to it becoming a much bigger one so make sure you call Lucas Plumbing and Gas Solutions the moment you spot a leak.

Don’t use a brick or other objects to save water

I’m sure we’ve all heard before about the various objects you can put in your cistern to save water – bricks, plastic bottle, rocks, the list goes on.

Many of these objects can cause blockages or other problems if they break down and end up in your pipes.

Do yourself a favour, if you have a toilet old enough that you have to consider putting a brick in the cistern to save water – it’s probably time for an upgrade. A new toilet isn’t as expensive as you think and it will be much more water-efficient than putting a brick in the cistern. 

Only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet

Never flush anything else down the toilet as this has the potential to block your pipes and a blocked toilet is the last thing you want to be dealing with. Trust us, and it’s not a pretty sight!

Never flush baby wipes or sanitary products down the toilet.

And while you’re toilet training toddlers, always teach them what not to flush down the toilet to save yourself expensive repairs.
