Tips for Toilet Maintenance

Maintaining your toilet isn’t just about keeping it clean; it’s about preventing problems before they start. Here are some simple tips to keep your porcelain palace functioning flawlessly:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean your toilet with a disinfectant cleaner, paying attention to the bowl, rim, seat, and tank.
  • Brushing: Brush the toilet bowl daily or every other day to remove waste and prevent bacteria buildup.
  • Plunging: Plunge your toilet only when necessary, and use a gentle plunging motion to avoid damaging the pipes. If you have frequent clogs, an underlying issue may need professional attention.
  • Flapper Care: Inspect the flapper in the tank every few months for signs of wear or tear.
  • Water Supply Valve: Check the valve for leaks periodically. It’s necessary to tighten it if there are any loose connections.
  • Mind the Chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals or drain cleaners in your toilet, as they can damage the pipes and porcelain. If you have a stubborn clog, call a professional plumber.

When is it time to replace your toilet?

  • Leaking Toilet: If you notice that your toilet is leaking from the bottom, it is likely time to replace the wax rings. This is a non-invasive process, and your existing toilet can still be used!
    Water constantly running can mean an issue with the rubber flapper in the tank, the fill valve has been damaged, or a slew of other issues. Some issues are a quick, easy fix, while others may mean it is time for an upgrade.
  • Cracked: A toilet can crack and lead to puddling or leaking at the base of your toilet. This can lead to water damage on your flooring or even under your subfloor. When you see a crack in your toilet, it is time to replace it.
  • Inefficient: Since the 1992 passing of the EPA’s Energy Policy Act, toilets have become much more efficient and do not waste nearly the amount of water older toilets do. If you would like to upgrade to a low-flow toilet, give us a call.
