Toiler Repair Tips and Advice

When it comes to toilet repairs, there’s more than meets the eye. Here are some expert tips and advice from Mr. Handyman:

• Don’t overlook the fill valve height. If your toilet is constantly running or isn’t filling efficiently, adjusting the fill valve height is the most common solution. However, many people don’t realize that the fill valve height should match your tank’s water line exactly and not be higher or lower. When it’s misaligned, it can waste water or not flush properly.
• Treat hairline cracks immediately. A toilet might seem fine, especially if there’s only a tiny crack. But this can quickly expand and leave you with a sudden leak that floods your bathroom. Routinely inspect the base and tank for any uneven wear or faint lines because these are early warnings of structural damage that needs to be repaired.
• Replace wax rings. A wax ring replacement isn’t as easy as just swapping in a new one. To prevent leaks, you should clean the flange completely and leave no residue behind. A flange extender is important to prevent weak seals and future leaks.

How quickly can you repair a toilet?

The time required to repair a toilet depends on the issue. Most standard toilet repairs, such as replacing a worn flapper, can be done in an hour or less. However, more complicated issues, such as a leaking tank-to-bowl connection or a cracked bowl, could take a day or two to repair.

What are the most common toilet issues that require professional repair?

The most common toilet issues that require a professional to repair include:

• Clogged toilets
• Toilet leaks
• Uncaulked toilet
• A toilet that constantly runs
• Slower flush
• Malfunctioning fill valve
• Sluggish toilet
• Low water pressure
• Leaky seals
• Dripping water in the tank
• Cracked toilet bowl

Additionally, when installing a new toilet, factors like design style, flushing mechanism, and available space are key considerations.

What causes a toilet to keep running after flushing?

A running toilet is often caused by a faulty or damaged flapper valve, which fails to seal the bottom of the tank properly. Other common causes include:

• Clogged fill valve
• Water level adjustment needed
• Float position
• Leaky fill valve
• Malfunctioning diaphragm valve
• The fill height is too high
• The float is too high
• Faulty flush handle

How much does toilet repair or installation cost?

The typical range for toilet repairs is between $150 and $400, but some repairs could cost as much as $800. The average will be around $300, but it will largely depend on your location, professional rates, and the type of toilet and repair needed.

On the other hand, a toilet installation near you could range between $225 and $550, with the higher range being around $800. This will vary depending on the cost of the toilet, the installation, and any extra labor.

Can a clogged toilet cause damage to plumbing pipes?

Yes, a clogged toilet can eventually damage your plumbing pipes. It blocks the water from flowing freely, increasing the pressure and weakening the bolts, seals, and joints of the pipe. Over time, this will cause the pipes to fail and possibly burst. Additionally, the water won’t be able to pass through the pipes, which could cause it to back up and flood your walls, floors, and other structural elements in your home.
