Leave Your Toilet Issues to a Professional

Other than installing a new plumbing system, there are three different types of plumbing services. These three types include inspection, maintenance, and repair. Every professional plumber has a set of tools he needs for any job whether it be fixing a toilet, sink, washer or refrigerator.

There are many avenues to plumbing, but basically, anywhere in the home that has a direct waterline will need plumbing maintenance every so often. This article will dive deeper into the specific tools that are needed to fix a toilet whether it be a simple unclogging, repair or replacing the toilet entirely. Keep reading to learn more about what this job entails and the tools used to get the job done.

Specifics of Toilet Repair

repairing toiletWhen it comes to basic repairs like replacing a flapper or dealing with low flushing pressure, there aren’t a lot of different plumbing tools needed for this job. It is mostly handy work with the help of a set of pliers to grab and bend things and a crescent wrench for tightening.

When it comes to low flushing pressure, a lot of the time the problem lies within the water levels in the back of the toilet. If you open the back lid and notice the water level is more than 1 inch below the overflow tube then adjusting the float inside the tank can raise these water levels to where they should be.

No matter the case, it is always safest to call in a professional to take a look and make sure the problem isn’t coming from somewhere else.

Professional Tools to Unclog a Toilet

When your toilet becomes clogged, one of the first things everyone tries is to use a plunger and try to remove the clog this way. Most of the time this can actually get rid of the clog and you can go about your business. However, if you are noticing your toilet clogs more often than usual, you could have a clogged pipe or drain somewhere beneath your house.

Many times, when this happens, a professional will come in and remove your toilet to get a better look at the problem at hand. The tool he will use to unclog the pipes is called a snake tool. This tool extends down into the pipes and has a lever that rotates and gets the snake to twist within the pipes to try and capture what is clogging them. This is sometimes a messy and smelly job, but one of the only ways to keep your toilet running smoothly after prolonged use. Toilets inevitably get clogged, but a snake tool gets the job done right.
