Toilet problems can create quite a mess inside your home, especially if the problem has been going on for quite some time. From water leaks to sewage backups, it’s always smart to seek repairs early. Here are three signs you should schedule a plumber to handle toilet repairs as soon as possible. 

What Are the Signs You Need Toilet Repairs?

1. Clogging 

If your toilet tends to clog easily, it could be a sign that there isn’t enough water coming down from the flush tank. Sometimes this issue is caused by damaged fill valves or problems with your water supply line. Toilets that clog easily can also be caused by issues with previous debris stuck in the line. Plumbers can use augers to remove this debris, check the flushing mechanisms, and fill lines for issues during toilet repairs. 

2. Pooling Water

Plumbers can replace wax seals and use leak detection dye to look for damage. If the toilet is broken, it may need to be replaced. Plumbers can talk with you about your toilet options and handle the repair, saving you time and money. 

3. Running

When toilets run frequently, it can increase your water bill or cause excess noise in your home. Toilets can run because of leaky fill valves, flapper chains that are too short, and even high indoor water pressure. Plumbers can replace damaged internal components and apply valves to decrease indoor water pressure, resolving this common problem.
