Signs Your Toilet Needs to be Replaced
Your toilet is the one thing in your home that possibly gets the most use, but the one thing you may often neglect. Below are some tips you can think about and signs you should look into replacing your toilet.
- Frequent Clogs – If you are finding yourself having to plunge your toilet often, such as once per week, you may want to consider getting your toilet replaced. Some older model toilets often require more than one flush and are known to have frequent blockages. Having your toilet replaced with a newer, more energy efficient model will allow you to save money and get rid of the constant headache of having to deal with a clogged toilet.
- More Repairs – Some toilet repairs are expected and routine maintenance. But, if you are finding yourself having to replace parts more frequently, you should consider a new toilet. Over time your old toilet will end up costing you much more money and installing a new one will help you save money.
- Cracked Porcelain – Hairline cracks can develop in the toilet tank or bowl and can cause a flood if they happen to break. A great tip is to inspect your toilet’s tank and bowl for cracks when you clean it. Cracks in your toilet left without attention can develop into a leak overtime.
- High Water Bill – Just by replacing your toilet you can save on your water bills. Older style toilets can use up to 5gal of water per flush, while the newer low-flush models use under 2gal per flush.
