Indications that You Need Toilet Repair or Replacement

If there's water accumulating at your toilet's base, then you've got a sign of a leaky seal. You may be able to take care of this problem by just tightening up the bolts that hold the toilet to the floor. However, if that doesn't do the trick, then you may need to replace your wax ring so that the toilet/drainpipe connection is fully sealed.

There are various issues that can cause weak flushing. For one, you may have a failing flushing mechanism. Another potential cause of weak flushing is that you have a clog in your sewer pipe or vent pipe. A clog in the toilet trap may also cause this symptom. In the event that your tank or bowl isn't refilling like it should, then a failing fill valve could be to blame. And a continuously running toilet is commonly due to a faulty flapper valve.

Heavy rust/corrosion may mean you need a new toilet. When rust is only present on a small section of the toilet, you might get lucky and be able to replace only that part. With extensive rust, toilet replacement will probably be necessary. Another potential sign that you'll need a new toilet is that there are large cracks in the bowl. When cracks are less than 1/16th of an inch, the plumber may be able to fix them with epoxy. But bigger cracks are an indication that you'll need to replace your toilet.
