Oftentimes, plumbing fixtures give clear signs when it’s time for them to be replaced. Take your toilet for example. When you need a toilet replacement, there are a number of different indicators. Below are three of the most common ones.
- Frequent clogs. Any toilet can get clogged from time to time, but if your toilet is constantly clogging, there’s a problem. Older toilets don’t have the same high-flush design that newer ones do, and for this reason, they are more likely to encounter clogs. If your toilet is getting clogged once a week or more, it’s time for a toilet replacement.
- Ineffective repairs. Like with most other types of fixtures, toilets can be repaired when they get damaged or encounter problems that are disrupting their functionality. However, the older your toilet gets, or the more persistent damages become, repair jobs will lose their effectiveness. You don’t want to constantly hire repair services if your toilet is too old for the effects of the repair job to last, so it’s worth looking into replacing your toilet rather than repairing it if repairs never seem to last.
- Visible damages. Of course, the most obvious sign that you need a toilet replacement is visible damage to the toilet. Damages to the seat can typically be rectified by replacing just the seat itself, but for larger cracks on the bowl or tank, you’ll need to replace the entire toilet. Cracks and other damages lead to leaks that can cause water damage to your bathroom and surrounding areas of your home.
