Toilets account for approximately 30% of the typical household's water use, according to the EPA. If you still use a toilet from before 1994, whether a household or business customer, you will save money by installing a modern type. Older toilets waste more than twice as much water per flush as those manufactured in 1994 or after.

Choosing the proper plumbers for installing a new toilet may be complicated and intimidating. You can rely on Atlas Plumbing & Heating. Our toilet installation and repair crew is pleasant, professional, and well-trained to operate effectively while speaking with you during the process. We establish and maintain connections with our customers as a family-owned and run business to provide service you can rely on.

What Is the Average Water Usage of a Toilet?

Newer toilets have been engineered to utilize just 1.6 gallons of water every flush, compared to 3.5 gallons before. The most recent versions have lowered this figure to 1.28 gallons. Upgrading your toilet to a more water-efficient type will considerably reduce your monthly energy expenditures.

Toilet Repair

A damaged or blocked toilet may be stressful, particularly if you've tried and failed with a plunger. You know it's time to contact a professional at that moment. Atlas Plumbing & Heating toilet installation and repair services are equipped to handle various business and residential toilet repairs.

Clogged Drain Pipes Or Sewer Lines

Often, your home's main sewer may be blocked, producing difficulties with your home's pipes without your knowledge. Some warning signs include gurgling noises or bubbles coming from your toilet. You should also watch for rising water from your toilets or drains, as this might indicate a blocked drain line or a clogged main sewer.

Toilet Flange Repair

The toilet flange is an essential component of your toilet. The ring secures the toilet to the ground and is often composed of plastic or metal. A cracked toilet flange is dangerous and might cause significant damage, such as breaking the toilet sealant and allowing your toilet to leak.

This may cause your bathroom to flood, as well as other expensive issues that you can prevent. Repairing a toilet flange is not your standard "do it yourself" project and may be difficult. Atlas Plumbing & Heating can ensure that your toilet flange is fixed swiftly and accurately.

Leaking Toilet Repair

One of the most prevalent residential toilet problems is leaking toilets. If you find a leaking toilet, you should contact a professional immediately since you might be squandering thousands of gallons of water each year! Minor leaks may sometimes go undetected and become more significant problems if neglected.

Weak Toilet Flush

Is your toilet not flushing completely? This might be an indication of a faulty toilet flush. Toilets built in houses many years ago may have a weak flush over time. This is caused by the buildup of minerals and debris, such as rust, within your toilet bowl's rim and jet hole. In such a case, water is naturally obstructed from entering the toilet bowl. This causes a weak flush, which prevents your toilet from flushing completely.

Broken Toilet Flush Flapper Valve

The flapper valve on your toilet is the stopper, also known as the valve seal, that acts to flush the toilet. This is usually caused by the chain that links the flapper valve to the handle. Typically, all you need to do is replace the flapper valve; however, there have been situations when homeowners attempted this but were still left with a continually running toilet.

This might imply that the flush valve seat is causing the problem. Allow a professional to repair it fast and accurately so you can have a fully functional toilet back in no time.

Malfunctioning Toilet Refill Valve

Do you have issues with your toilet fill valve? In this scenario, you must ensure that the refill valve is wholly replaced. However, like in the case of a damaged toilet flapper valve, a defective refill valve is only sometimes the sole reason your toilet may be continually running.

Worn-Out Toilet Seal

The toilet sealant is an essential component of your toilet and bathroom. This wax sealant is positioned at the toilet's bottom and shaped like a ring. It is not only in charge of keeping water from leaking from your toilet and onto your bathroom floor, but it also avoids other expensive house problems. Toilet sealant typically lasts at least 20 years; however, certain toilets may need sealant replacement sooner than others due to factors such as climate.

Toilet Installation Issues

Many aspects go into properly installing a toilet, and incorrect installation may result in various long-term and short-term problems. It may cause persistent toilet leaks, as well as other sections of the toilet, to cease working correctly. This is where our toilet installation specialists can assist.
