Burien Toilet Repair Specialists
The modern toilet is a masterpiece of engineering simplicity. It utilizes gravity to power its flushes, as well as water pressure and buoyancy to operate its valve. That simplicity is why a toilet can last up to 50 years with proper care. However, not every part of your toilet will last that long.
As a result, toilets often malfunction at least once or twice during their lifespan. One of the most common issues you may encounter is a toilet that won’t stop running. In most cases, this is an indication of a failing seal inside your toilet’s fill valve. The good news is that replacing a valve seal is a quick and effective solution to your problem.
Another common toilet issue you may encounter is phantom flushing. That describes a situation where your toilets seem to flush on their own when nobody’s using them. It indicates a leak somewhere in or around your toilet’s tank. Most often, it’s a result of a worn-out flapper that doesn’t seal the tank drain. Fortunately, toilet flappers are another easily replaceable component.
