Helpful Tips:Suspect your toilet is leaking but can’t see any water? Try this: put a few drops of food coloring into the toilet tank and wait 15 minutes without flushing. If the color seeps into the bowl, your flapper is leaking and needs to be replaced. A silent leak like this can waste up to 200 gallons of water a day! If your test comes back positive, call us at 778-992-0750 to have your internal components updated and your water bill lowered.
Common Toilet Troubles
The “Phantom Flush” (Running Toilets)
A toilet that constantly runs or randomly refills is usually suffering from a deteriorated flapper, a misadjusted float, or a faulty fill valve. Not only is the constant sound annoying, but this hidden leak can waste hundreds of gallons of water a month, driving up your utility bill. We carry the premium internal components needed to quickly restore quiet, efficient operation on the spot.
Leaking at the Base
If you notice water pooling around the bottom of your toilet bowl, the wax ring that seals the fixture to your home’s drain pipe has likely failed. This requires immediate professional attention. Left unchecked, the leaking water will rot your bathroom subfloor and cause severe structural damage. Our Red Seal plumbers will safely lift the toilet, install a fresh, heavy-duty seal, and properly secure the mounting bolts.
Weak or Sluggish Flushes
When your toilet lacks the power to clear the bowl completely on the first try, it is often due to hard water mineral buildup in the rim jets, a slack lift chain, or a partial clog deep in the trap. Our technicians will diagnose the exact cause of the weak flush and optimize the mechanism to ensure your fixture operates with maximum clearing power.
Maintenance & Care
Extending Your Toilet’s Lifespan
Check the Shut-Off Valve: We ensure your emergency valve is easy to turn so you can stop water flow instantly if an overflow occurs.
Tighten the Mounting Bolts: A rocking toilet can break the wax seal; we ensure your fixture is properly shimmed and secured to the floor.
