HELP! I NEED TOILET REPAIR MY TOILET IS LEAKING?

Do you have any idea how much water you can waste each year with a leaking toilet? Up to 80,000 gallons! That’s a lot of water literally going down the drain, not to mention all the money you’ll end up wasting on an extra-high water bill.

But what causes the leaks in your toilet? Here are the three primary causes of leaking toilets:

     Visible warping or rust — After a few years of exposure to water, the metal components in your toilet tank will rust or warp with regular use. Perhaps the flap won’t close as it should, or the rubber gasket doesn’t maintain a water-tight seal. All of these things can contribute to a leaking toilet.

     Old parts –– Remember the rust, warping, and wear caused by age? Toilets with parts over five years old are far more prone to leakage.

     Bleach exposure –– The water in your toilet tank may already be hard-water or filled with sediment, but when you add an in-tank cleaner (filled with bleach to sanitize your toilet bowl), the bleach can wear away at the toilet parts.

Leakage isn’t the only toilet problem you have to worry about. With all the use your toilet gets every day, you’ve got other things that could go wrong:

• The bowl doesn’t drain properly/drains too slowly.
• The toilet bowl leaks.
• The bowl overflows every time you flush.
• The seat is loose and wobbles when you sit.
• The toilet itself is loose and shifts when you sit and stand.
• The tank doesn’t stop filling, and the water runs continuously.
• The tank vibrates as it fills up.

All of these things are signs they’re something wrong with your toilet, meaning it’s time to call in Compound Services!
