Why you should have a leaky toilet repaired as soon as possible

  • Post category:Plumbing
A dripping toilet is not only annoying, but also wasteful and costly. A toilet that is constantly leaking clean water from the cistern into the pan can waste around 200 to 400 litres of water a day¹, which is equivalent to 2.5 to 5 bathtubs of water. This can add up to a significant amount of water loss over time, which can have a negative impact on the environment and your wallet.
 
According to some estimates, a dripping toilet can significantly increase your water bill if left unfixed, especially in some areas, where water and sewer rates are higher. A dripping toilet can also cause damage to your plumbing system, your flooring, and your walls, which can lead to expensive repairs or replacements.
 
The benefits of using a plumber to fix a dripping toilet are obvious. A plumber can diagnose the cause of the leak, whether it is a faulty flange, valve, seal, tank, bowl, pipe, or drain, and replace the necessary parts. A plumber can also check the pressure and balance of your heating system and perform any other maintenance tasks that your toilet may need. A plumber can also ensure that the repair is done correctly and safely, avoiding any risks of injury or further damage.
 
The cost of hiring a plumber to fix a dripping toilet can vary depending on the location, the complexity, and the extent of the problem. However, this is a small price to pay compared to the potential costs of water waste, property damage, and health hazards that a dripping toilet can cause. By hiring a plumber to fix a dripping toilet, you can save yourself time, money, and hassle, and enjoy a smooth and efficient toilet. Call us today on 07537188391 and get in touch with a plumber!
