Most homeowners experience occasional issues with their toilets. They can be easy to fix, but you should address them quickly before they get worse. Be sure to call a plumber if you notice any of the following problems. 

What Are Some Common Problems With Toilets?

1. Running Toilet

If you hear a continuous subtle running sound coming from your bathroom, call a plumber to check it out. Otherwise, you could risk wasting water and money. An old, cracked flapper can often cause a toilet to run, which a plumber can easily replace. You can also check if the chain is blocking the flapper from closing all the way.

2. Clogs

You can usually address toilet clogs with a plunger. However, some clogs require a professional fix. Severe clogs can be caused by toy your child dropped into the toilet, a buildup of toilet paper, or old plumbing.

If your toilet is clogged and you can’t plunge it, avoid flushing, as this can cause the toilet to overflow. A plumber can remove the clog and get your toilet flushing properly again.

3. Water Flow Issues

You may also have water flow issues, such as a weak flush or a slow refill. There are many reasons why water can slow down or flow improperly, so it’s best to have a plumber diagnose the problem. They might spot a faulty water valve, blocked water line, or a leaky hose. A plumber can also check your home’s pipes with a camera to check for clogs or leaks that they can repair as well.
