Toilets are more important to us then we might think, and we never want to be in a situation where we are without a toilet or it has stopped working. Most of the time people do not know that there is a problem with their toilet until it is too late. When properly taking care of a toilet, Ridge Manor residents can make it last more than a couple of years, but there are still showing signs that it may be time to replace it to avoid a malfunction or to increase its efficacy; Here are some of the signs that you should be looking out for.
You have an Old Toilet
Regardless if the toilet in question is working properly, if you have owned the same decades for many years, you should consider replacing it. Older toilets are less efficient, as all new toilets since 1994 by law can use no more than 1.6 gallons of water flush. With a new modern toilet, Ridge Manor can save even more as many manufactures choose to have their systems use less than the required 1.6 gallons that has been established by federal law. Dual flush technology is one of the ways that toilet manufactures help save even more water.
There are Cracks in the Toilet’s Tank
One sign that you should consider getting a new toilet, Ridge Manor residents would be able to see noticeable cracks in their toilets tank. Often when a toilet tank is cracked, the owner will frequently see a puddle of water around their toilet. It may be beneficial to call a plumber to assess the citation because sometimes cracks can be fixed making it possible to avoid purchasing a new unit. Most of the time however, if a toilet tank has cracks in it, it should be replaced before a bigger problem arises.
