The toilet is one of the most utilized fixtures in any home, and while it may not seem like it, toilets actually undergo a great deal of wear and tear over time. Most of the issues that could arise with your toilet do not involve the toilet bowl, but the related pipes and plumbing that provide water for flushing and the pipes that carry the water away to the sewers. You might even find your home water systems in danger if you allow your toilet and the related plumbing to deteriorate overmuch. This is why you should schedule occasional checks for your toilet systems and arrange for a toilet replacement if necessary. Of course, the most common cause for complaint when it comes to toilets is clogging. This usually happens when someone accidentally drops something into the toilet that chokes the pipes and causing the water to overflow when the toilet is flushed. Sometimes, clogging is also caused by a buildup of residue in the pipes over time. With the former, the problem can often be solved with the use of a simple plunger to suck the object back up from the pipes and clear the blockage. With the latter situation, however, it is much more difficult and sometimes even the strongest drain cleaners do not suffice to clear the blockage. In those cases, toilet replacement becomes necessary to avoid wholesale flooding of your bathroom. Another common problem is the constant noise of running water coming from the toilet or the need to work the flushing lever up and down in order to stop the flow of water after flushing. This usually indicates a problem with the flushing mechanism and could be anything from a minor issue like a loose screw to a major issue such as a broken lever that will require the flushing mechanism to be replaced. Perhaps the worst problem that you could possibly face with your toilet is that of high water pressure. In this case, the problem is not with the toilet itself, but your toilet will exhibit symptoms of the larger problem. High water pressure usually causes water to constantly flow down the sides of the toilet bowl, as the high pressure is forcing the water out past its usual resting point. This is a real problem because high water pressure affects all of the water systems in your household, and if it is not promptly rectified, could result in a burst water pipe that could flood your home and damage your property. High water pressure could also damage your toilet, forcing you to replace it. No matter what the problem might be, you should not hesitate to arrange for a toilet replacement if it is actually necessary. Many people are reluctant to do so because of the additional costs, but the alternative could involve having sewage water backed up and flowing into your home or damage to your home water systems that could cause enormous amounts of damage if a water pipe were to burst. Taking the necessary course of action is the only solution and the smart thing to do.
