It is not uncommon to experienced 'phantom flushes' with an older toilet that has recently seen a good deal of use. This issue occurs when there is a small leak between the water tank and the toilet bowl. Parker & Sons comments that this is often an easy problem to fix. It is often caused by a worn flapper or seal. Replacement is a simple task which may not even require the services of a professional plumber.
Water trickling into the tank is another common toilet problem linked to overuse. This could become more problematic than water leaking into the toilet bowl as the tank will not empty itself automatically overtime like the toilet bowl will. Parker & Sons advises that this is an issue which made require the attention of a professional plumber. However, homeowners may be able to diagnose trickling tanks on their own. Parker & Sons notes that they may be able to listen for the tell-tale hiss of water leaking in through the intact valve.
Of the endless variety of toilet problems one can experienced, clogs are by far the most common. Parker & Sons comments that homeowners should feel empowered enough to tackle clogs on their own, however if they are unable to remove the clog quickly, they should contact a skilled plumbing professional. Clogs will not take care of themselves overtime, in fact, they may only worsen.
