Toilet Leaks
Toilet leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water per year and are the cause of high water bills. While leaks can be easily identified when toilets are running or cycling on and off, some leaks are quiet and slow can go undetected for long periods of time.
Our team can assess the toilet and diagnose the cause of leaks, the source, and make expert recommendations for repair or replacement.
When the insides are failing, often replacing them will solve the issue and extend the life of the toilet.
Excessive water pressure and age can contribute to toilet leaks, and loose or rocking toilets can lead to hairline fractures in the toilet. Plumb Smart, Inc. will check the water pressure in the home to ensure that future leaks will not occur.
We will also assess the water shut-off supply valve and supply line. Since these are not regularly used, they can become corroded and lead to bursts and flooding.
Wax Ring Replacements
Is your bathroom flooring wet around your toilet? You many need your wax ring replaced. A wax seal is created by the ring under the base of the toilet that prevents water from escaping. This seal can wear down and deteriorate over time, and all wax rings eventually need replaced.
We offer wax ring replacements. If you are considering an alternative toilet ring, you may want to just stick with wax. Learn more about why we don’t like wax ring alternatives.
We can also caulk the base of your toilet, and other areas nearby in order to help prevent water damage should your wax seal ever fail.
