The Benefits of Residential and Commercial Toilet Repair Services

In every home, you have a toilet that is prone to emergencies. This includes leaks, backups and various other failures that will require immediate repair work. There is never a shortage of issues when it comes to your toilet, which is why you should always consider hiring a professional repair service when trouble arises. However, we understand that you may want to save some money and try to fix the problem on your own.

It’s very tempting to go online and learn how to troubleshoot and undergo a DIY toilet repair project. In some cases, the issue is very minor and you could easily repair it and have everything back to normal. However, you can greatly benefit from hiring commercial or residential toilet repair services, and here’s why:

A repair specialist is going to get things done a lot quicker. Think about it. They have all the training and qualifications to provide you with service; they perform toilet repair services and installations on a near-daily basis. Also, with most repair work, you will need special supplies and equipment to get the job done. No matter the situation, they are going to know what to do and how to do it. This will save you a ton of time and avoid having to learn how to undergo complicated repairs and installations.

No matter what it is that you need to fix, it will require a special set of supplies and tools. For example, to replace a water toilet valve you will need rib joint pliers and an adjustable open-end wrench. These are tools that are not readily accessible to everyone, and chances are you will need to go to a home improvement store to obtain them. Furthermore, once you do acquire said tools, you will likely never use them again. A professional plumber is going to possess all the necessary tools ahead of time so that they can immediately repair your toilet or install a new one.

A professional plumber will naturally have much more experience than the average person, which means that they will know how to bring about the best results. After repairing countless toilets, they’ve had plenty of time to develop their skills. They are going to carry out a repair service that will easily surpass any DIY project. When they fix your toilet or install a new one, it will be much less likely to malfunction or fail. With DIY repair work, there is always a chance that you made a mistake, and your toilet will break down again a few days later.

Toilet repair services are sometimes viable, and sometimes they are not. Perhaps you want to remodel your bathroom and the first thing you want to replace is your toilet. Maybe you want to conserve more water. We all have different reasons to install a new toilet. Here are some of the more common scenarios that will require a complete replacement:

• Leaks: A toilet repair service is viable when it comes to minor leaks. However, leaks that originate from your toilet bowl or tank can go undetected for quite some time. This will cause water damage to the flooring or subflooring of your bathroom. If you allow the leak to continue, then you will need to replace your entire flooring system in your bathroom. Leaks can also cause damage to the rooms that are directly beneath your bathroom as well. With older toilets, leaks can become a chronic issue that you cannot permanently remedy. If this is the case, then it will benefit you a lot more to replace your toilet.
• Efficiency: Modern toilets are a lot more efficient than some of the more outdated models. With older toilets, whenever you flush them you are wasting a lot more water. Toilets manufactured before 1980 tend to use 7 gallons of water per flush, which is extremely wasteful. Also, clogged toilets are a lot tougher to fix with an older system. If your toilet exceeds 20 years in age, then it might be time to replace it.
• Appearance: If you plan on remodeling your entire bathroom, then the first thing you are thinking about is your toilet. Perhaps your current toilet doesn’t match the color scheme you want to implement. Toilets now come in a variety of colors, giving you more options and allowing you to achieve a unique decorative program. Modern toilets also have a more updated appearance and design, so regardless of color, your toilet will give your bathroom that upgraded look.
• Comfort: When replacing your toilet, don’t forget about comfort. Why? You don’t want the toilet seat to be too small or narrow, which can make things more difficult than they need to be. Since you are already investing in a new toilet, you might as well try it and ensure that everything is to your liking.
• Small components: Sometimes a small and irreplaceable component of your toilet will stop working. In a situation such as this, it may end up costing you less to replace your toilet versus repairing it. Some of these items are difficult to obtain which is why they are so expensive in the first place.

With some toilets, you may be experiencing multiple problems at the same time. For example, you may require a toilet valve replacement as well as repairs for a slow flushing toilet. When the problems begin to compound, you will undoubtedly need to contact a repair specialist. This is usually an indication of a larger problem that will require professional assistance.

The removal of a major clog is also something that you should leave to the professionals. It’s a task that has its challenges and simples tools such as a plunger won’t fix the issue. With some of the more severe clogs, you may need to undergo drain snaking, which is a very delicate process that you should hire a professional to perform. They will have the tools and procedures to remove any clog without causing additional issues to your plumbing system.
