Why does my toilet keep running?
A constantly running toilet is typically caused by issues with the flapper or fill valve. The flapper may not be creating a proper seal, which allows water to leak into the bowl. Alternatively, a malfunctioning fill valve can cause water to overflow into the overflow tube. These problems can often be resolved by replacing the affected components. If you're uncertain about the issue or how to address it, we recommend contacting a professional plumber for expert assistance.Why is my toilet clogged?
Toilet clogs can occur due to various reasons. Common causes include flushing excessive toilet paper, disposing of non-flushable items, or the buildup of mineral deposits in older plumbing systems. To prevent clogs, it's crucial to flush only toilet paper and human waste. If you're experiencing frequent clogs, there may be an underlying issue with your plumbing that requires professional inspection and repair.Are drain cleaning chemicals safe?
While drain cleaning chemicals can be effective for minor blockages, they're not always safe or recommended. These products often contain harsh substances that can potentially damage pipes, especially in older plumbing systems. They may also be harmful to the environment and pose health risks if not used correctly. For persistent or recurring clogs, it's generally safer and more effective to use mechanical methods or seek professional drain cleaning services. A plumber can identify and address the root cause of the problem, providing a more long-lasting solution.
