A: A running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve, or an improperly adjusted float. The flapper is the most common culprit and is an inexpensive fix. In Tampa Seminole Heights, where standard water can deteriorate rubber components faster, flappers may need replacement more often. A running toilet can waste 200 or more gallons per day, which adds up quickly on your TECO water bill. Our plumbers can diagnose and fix it in a single visit.

A: Consider replacing your toilet if it requires frequent repairs, has cracks in the bowl or tank, wobbles on the floor (which may indicate a rotting subfloor or broken flange), or is an older model using 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush. In Tampa Seminole Heights, where wood frame bungalows and craftsman cottages homes from the 1920s to 1940s often have original toilets, upgrading to a modern low-flow model saves water and money. If repair costs approach $300 or more, replacement is usually the better investment.

For Tampa Seminole Heights homes, we focus on models with good flushing performance in the 1.28 GPF (gallons per flush) category that meet WaterSense standards. standard water in Tampa Seminole Heights can affect internal components, so we recommend brands with durable fill valves and quality flappers that hold up longer in hard water conditions.

We always inspect the flange, supply line, and wax ring area before installing the new toilet. No surprises and we clean up completely.

A: Yes. Modern low-flow toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush compared to 3.5 to 7 gallons for older models. For a Tampa Seminole Heights household of 3 or more people, this can save 10,000 to 20,000 gallons per year on your TECO water bill. Today’s low-flow models flush just as well as older high-volume toilets. Dual-flush models offer even more savings by using less water for liquid waste. The savings add up quickly in Hillsborough County water rates.

A: The wax ring sits between the toilet base and the floor flange, creating a watertight seal to the drain pipe. It needs replacement whenever you remove the toilet, if you notice water seeping around the base, or if you smell sewer gas. In Tampa Seminole Heights, wood frame bungalows and craftsman cottages homes with sandy soil can experience minor settling that breaks the wax seal over time. We always install a new wax ring during every toilet installation.
