How to do maintenance on your toilet
The most important type of maintenance you can do for your toilet is to clean it regularly, inside and out. Without proper cleaning, the porcelain finish on your toilet will wear off over time. This gives black mildew an ideal place for growth. For stubborn toilet stains, try a pumice stone. You can also put vinegar in the bowl and let it sit to help offset calcium buildup, which will help it flush better. To stay ahead of issues with your toilet and more, join Atlanta Star Plumbing’s Diamond Club. As a member, we’ll come to your house once annually and inspect your plumbing to ensure everything is running in tip top shape.
Toilet Repair FAQs
If you suspect a leaky toilet but aren’t sure, put several drops of food coloring in the toilet tank. Don’t flush it for 12 hours; just let it sit in the tank. If the food coloring ends up in the bowl of the toilet, you can confirm that you have a leak.
The age of your toilet is something to consider if you are having issues with it. Many older toilets are “low flush,” meaning they use no more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush. This type of toilet was popular many years ago, but modern plumbing doesn’t support its function. Angles of plumbing lines have changed over time, meaning homes now require different toilet types. If your toilet is an older low-flush model, you likely need a new one. Additionally, if your toilet is too low to the ground or you don’t like the style, you may need a new toilet. Whatever the case, call Atlanta Star Plumbing. We can help.
