How much time does the average person spend sitting on the toilet in their lifetime? The answer found using google can easily range from 1 year to 3 years. If your toilet doesn’t flush properly or you often have stoppages, that time can seem like an eternity. Here are several signs that you might want to replace instead of repair in Orange, CT.
Clogs
If your toilet is clogging often, you are probably pretty unhappy with the plunger becoming the most important tool in your bathroom. You should schedule an appointment with your local plumber to see if a new toilet might fix your problem.
Cracked Porcelain
Over time, hairline cracks can develop in the porcelain. They may seem harmless now, but you can imagine the havoc it will cause if those cracks form leaks and go unnoticed. And even worse, it breaks entirely!
Cleaning Scratched Porcelain
The more you clean the surface, the more worn and/or scratched the porcelain may become. That will make it more and more difficult to completely clean, and nobody wants to do that job for any longer than necessary.
Constant Repair
Sometimes easy repairs can be done to extend the life of the toilet. But if you find yourself lifting the lid off the back of the toilet a little too often, you might want to consider replacing it.
A New Look
The bathroom is an important room in the house. We wake up to it every morning and visit it several times a day. Guests are guaranteed to even ask for directions to it. Toilets have come a long way in both appearance and efficiency.
Go Green
A low flush toilet saves water. Saving water means saving money. And as a bonus, that helps the environment. The newer models use less than 2 gallons per flush, while the older models use 3, and even up to 5 gallons per flush. If you can’t remember how old your toilet is, then perhaps it is time to consider a new water saving toilet.
