Dripping Taps - The Most Common Toilet Plumbing Problem
Leaking taps are probably one of the most common toilet problems. The constant "plink plink" sound will not only drive you insane but can also skyrocket your water bill, which is why you need to address it as soon as possible.
Dripping taps can have various causes. In some cases, a cracked toilet may be the culprit of a dripping faucet. In other instances, toilet leaks may be the ones to blame for the problem. A plumber can determine the cause of the drip and offer the best and most cost-effective solution.
Other Common Toilet Plumbing Problems
Here are some of the toilet plumbing issues you might face at one point or another:
Clogged Toilet
One of the most feared plumbing problems by homeowners is a clogged toilet, and for excellent reasons. No one wants to deal with contaminated water from their toilet bowl.
The cause of the clog might be something simple such as other materials than toilet paper being flushed down the toilet. However, a clogged toilet might also indicate a more significant problem with the plumbing system.
Flushing the Toilet Turns the Shower Water Hot
More often than not, this issue is caused by the plumbing setup. You likely have just one cold water pipe for your shower and toilet. When you flush, the bathroom demands a cold water flow.
And because your battery shares the same cold pipe with the toilet, the cold water will be redirected to the bathroom while you must endure a few seconds of boiling water.
Leaky Toilet Tank
A leaky toilet tank will not only contaminate your floors with dirty toilet bowl water but can also surcharge your utility bill. Check the toilet's base to see if there's sufficient caulking or if a loose screw could cause the leak.
