When it comes to plumbing issues, a broken or non-functioning toilet is among the most frustrating things. Not only can you not use the bathroom until it's fixed, but the problem can also add significant dollars to your water bill.

We've seen every imaginable (and sometimes unimaginable) plumbing problem at Wilco Plumbing. But the ones we list in this article are the most common.

If you notice any of these plumbing problems, it's time to call a plumber!

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.

    “I just want to say what a great plumber Terry was. My hot water system just crashed on me and so I called and made a same day booking. Terry was professional and very good at what he does. He replaced my hot water system on the same day, and with a great price too! 100% would recommend Wilco home services. Thanks again!”

    “We had to have our old drains ripped up and a whole new system put in. Brendan was mainly onsite with additional boys over a 2 week period. They were careful with what they had to pull up and cleaned up after each section they did. Always on time and worked hard throughout the day. For such a big job, they were wonderful throughout and kept us informed.”

    “Wilco had very good communication with us. Jack, the plumber, was very efficient and worked hard. He is a lovely young man, considerate and respectful. He did a great job removing the blockage in kitchen pipes and we thought he was worth his weight in gold. Thanks for such excellent service. (We had a previous quote from another company nearly three times the cost of what we paid). Needless to say all other fridge magnets for plumbers have been chucked !”
