You don\u2019t think about it often, but the one household fixture we value the most is likely the toilet. Let\u2019s face it: When your toilet has problems, the entire household has problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One obvious toilet problem is when the bowl is cracked or broken. Porcelain is a cost-effective material for toilets, and if it ain\u2019t broken, you don\u2019t need to fix it. You may be able to repair a chip, but if your toilet has a large crack, consider replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other toilet problems you may encounter include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The average toilet replacement <\/a>in the U.S. is around $150, plus the cost of the toilet itself (around $500, on average). Adding a new drain pipe may cost an additional $1,875 or more. Ask your local plumber what the charge is to remove your old toilet. (If you want to save $30 to $50, you can haul it away yourself.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you and your toilet share a birth year, it\u2019s probably time to replace it. The good news is that replacement toilets are usually money-savers because they use less water. And they increase your property value, so a new toilet is a pretty good investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consider replacement instead of repair if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if you don\u2019t want a green toilet shaped like a frog, you still have a lot of choices. There are colors, lights, and technology additions. And, yes: We now have smart toilets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the most interesting innovations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reason toilet repair and replacement shouldn\u2019t be DIY jobs is that what you can\u2019t see can hurt you. Older properties with older toilets have older plumbing. If you DIY your own toilet replacement and damage occurs later because of plumbing issues, your insurance may deny coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plumbing maintenance<\/a> by a reputable, local plumbing company is the best investment you can make, especially if you have a historical or older property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At F.H.

Never flush \u201cflushable\u201d wipes, personal hygiene products, grease, oil, or other pollutants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should also schedule regular\u00a0drain cleaning<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0video camera inspections<\/a>\u00a0to ensure your pipes are free of obstructions and damage. If you find any problems with your sewer line or drains, schedule\u00a0sewer line repairs<\/a>\u00a0or pipe replacement before a clog can form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proper installation is essential for protecting your home from water damage, so we recommend hiring a certified and insured plumber for all toilet installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A professional plumber will ensure the proper fit, securely connect the water supply line, seat your new toilet, and make sure that all angle stops, caulking, flanges, etc., are correctly connected, secured, and functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Both gravity and pressure-assisted low-flow toilets are cost-effective investments that will reduce water usage and save you money. Most low-flow toilets reduce water usage by between 20% and 60%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These units will effectively reduce your environmental footprint without negatively impacting your comfort or the operation of your toilet. Our plumbers can help you select the ideal low-flow toilet for your home and desired efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You don\u2019t think about it often, but the one household fixture we value the most is likely the toilet.
