Toilet Problems


It might not be the place where your whole family can gather but, you have to admit, the toilet is one of the most important areas in your home. Without one, life would be utterly hard. After all, where exactly would you shower or go about your “morning business”? Unfortunately, just like any parts of your home, your toilet would also need constant “care”.

 

Of all the plumbing works in your home, the toilet is considered to be one of the most durable. This does not, however, mean that you would not need the services of toilet repairs Macquarie Park companies, although there are instances when you can carry out repairs on your own.

 

One of the many repairs that you can do on your own is that of replacing the toilet seat. Because of the constant motion of being put up and put down, the toilet seat also happens to be one of the part of a toilet bowl that very often gets damaged. Since most toilet seats come in standard sizes, finding a replacement should not be a problem.

 

Once you have the right one, all you have to do is reach into the two nuts on the hinge that is keeping the old one in place. Unscrew this and then lift the old seat away. Now, all you have to do is put the new set in place and then put the screw back on. The only problem that you might encounter with this one is reaching the nuts as, in most cases, these are placed on a recess.

 

Another repair that you can do without getting the services of a toilet repairs Macquarie Park professionals is that of a clogged toilet. In order to handle this one, you have to make sure that you have a ready plunger and hook in your stash. Plungers are great for sucking out whatever it is that is causing the clog. If the plunger is unable to take it out, you can use a hook to go deeper into the tube and flush out the problem. In case you do not have a hook, you can actually make use of a wire hanger and an auger.

 

Now, of all the toilet problems that you would encounter, none could be more than cumbersome than that of toilet tank problems. Some of these problems would require the services of toilet repairs Hornsby professionals, while other may not. Although the parts of a toilet tank can vary from one model to the next, it would generally have two major components – the fill valve and the flush valve.

 

The fill valve is also known as the ballcock. Some of the common problems not requiring toilet repairs Hornsby professionals would include the float ball in the flush valve is not rising high enough, and the wire not raising or lowering the ball properly. In the first scenario, all you have to do is bend the ball slightly inwards as it might be too closes to the tank wall. On the other hand, the second one would require might require a change of wire or slightly bending it also.

 

This does not, however, mean that you would not need the services of toilet repairs Macquarie Park companies, although there are instances when you can carry out repairs on your own. Some of these problems would require the services of toilet repairs Hornsby professionals, while other may not.
