As local Adelaide plumbing and gas fitting specialists, the team at Anytime Plumbing have seen it all. Our expert Adelaide emergency plumbers have encountered and skilfully repaired a huge range of commercial and residential plumbing issues, big and small. We understand that it is easy to forget about your plumbing until something goes wrong and when that happens it is important to get the issue checked over by a licensed plumber to ensure it does not cause expensive, long-term damage to your home or health. Attempting DIY can not only cause greater damage but can also cost you more time and money. In this blog post, we are discussing the most common plumbing and gas-related troubles we get called for:
Leaking Toilets
Your toilet could possibly be the most important plumbing fixture in your Adelaide home and it could also be the most ignored one. Leaking or running toilets can occur at any time, usually the most inconvenient, and can cost you money on your water bill and high repair bills if the leaking water damages the surrounding area. To help you understand what is causing your leaking toilet and to make your leaking toilet problems go away fast, please read below:
#1 Toilet leaks behind the toilet bowl
If you have located the annoying toilet leak behind the toilet bowl it could possibly be caused by worn rubber gaskets. Replacing this rubber seal requires the help of a professional plumber who will skilfully take the toilet out completely, change the leaking rubber seal and re-install the toilet as part of the repair job.
#2 Cistern constantly running causing major loss of water
A faulty inlet valve usually causes the cistern to constantly run and leak gallons of water resulting in high water bills. The job of the inlet valve is to control the level of water entering the cistern and stop the water at the pre-set level. When this valve fails to work as it should, the water is constantly filling up and draining going down the overflow point causing an excessive toilet leak into the bowl. A toilet plumber can efficiently replace this part on the spot saving your time and money.
#3 Slow toilet leak
This type of toilet leak that runs throughout the day and night is caused by a faulty outlet valve. Its function is to hold the water within the cistern and release the water on demand for flushing purposes. Sometimes the loss of water is so small that you can’t notice just by looking, but if your cistern is filling up every so often without anyone using it, this means your outlet valve requires attention.
Signs To Look For:
- Do you hear a hissing sound coming from your toilet?
- Have you noticed a puddle at the base of the toilet?
- Any signs of dampness or stains surrounding the base of your toilet?
- Noticing a sewage smell?
It is definitely time to call in an Adelaide plumber!
