Toilets are definitely one of the most-used fixtures in your home. Everyone needs them at one point or another, so it makes sense that your toilet can go through some wear and tear over the years. You can expect to get around ten to fifteen years out of your toilet, but if you’re noticing some of these other signs and issues, you might need to get a toilet replacement sooner rather than later.
- Clogging: It’s not uncommon to experience a clogged toilet every now and then, but clogs aren’t supposed to become a regular routine. Clogs can be a result of clogged pipes and/or having an old, inefficient toilet. Luckily, a toilet replacement can solve this problem and keep everything running through the pipes.
- Flushing: Flushing is good– it’s what sends all the waste from the toilet and through your plumbing system. However, a never-ending flush or even a lack of one can signal a bigger problem, along with being an annoyance.
- Cracks: If there are cracks along your toilet bowl or tank, it’s definitely time for a toilet replacement. Hairline fractures might be able to be patched, but anything worse than that requires a new toilet. Cracks lead to leaks, which can damage your bathroom floor. You might not even be able to tell if your toilet is leaking, so it’s important to pay attention to the crack to avoid floor damage and potentially mold.
