One question that is pretty hard for most people to answer is how long should the average home toilet last them? This is because most people go their whole time while living in a home where they do not have to replace their toilet. Weeki Wachee residents should be made aware that although it may seem as though toilets can last a lifetime, in fact they actually have an average time before they start experiencing major problems and need to be replaced. This depends on a multiple of factors including how well a homeowner is at performing regular maintenance.
The Average Toilet’s Life expectancy
It can be very hard for a professional to tell a client of theirs when is the right time for them to replace their toilet. Weeki Wachee residents can have a toilet last a couple of years when they start experiencing problems that can be replaced, but also it is not unheard of for a toilet to continue functioning for forty or fifty years. On average though, when a plumbing professional is asked to remove an old and broken toilet and to replace it, a toilet is often times between the ages of fifteen and twenty years old.
What Problems do Old Toilets Experience?
There are many problems that start to happen to a homeowner when their toilet is getting close to needing to be replaced. For starters, many people do not realize that as a toilet gets worse, its flushing pressure starts to lower, making it harder to flush or in a lot of cases, makes it more often that a homeowner will have a clogged toilet. Weeki Wachee residents should be aware that a toilet should not be expiring clogs frequently, and this often a sign of a toilet struggling to drag water through the pipes. Other types of issues that homeowners may experience would be cracking the toilet tank or bowl, a handle that is not flushing properly, or some of the items on the inside of the tank are not working as they should.
