Signs You Need to Replace Your Toilet
Clogged and malfunctioning toilets can lead to a plumbing emergency at your house. To avoid this, watch for these signs that can indicate you need to install a new unit:
- Age: If your unit is old and requires a number of replacement parts to get it back in proper working condition, it may be more cost-effective to just buy a new system.
- Cracks: Most toilets are made of porcelain. Because of this, cracks can develop in the bowl and tank cover if something collides or falls on the toilet. These can expand and may lead to serious water damage in your home or commercial property.
- Constant clogs: Older units may have design issues. As your unit ages, it may not push water through the toilet with enough force. This can lead to consistent clogging.
- Wear and tear: Older systems can become worn and develop serious scratches. These stains will become more difficult to clean over time and can signal it’s time to replace the unit.
- High utility bills: If you notice a steady increase in your monthly water bills, you may need to install a newer, more efficient unit.
Common Water Heater Issues
Unfortunately, you might encounter issues with your water heater that will require professional repairs. Some common problems can include:
- Lack of hot water: The most common issue is a lack of hot water. For gas-powered water heaters, this could be due to an extinguished pilot light which can simply be relit. It could also signal a damaged heating element.
- Leaking: If you have a leak in your unit, have it inspected by a plumber to determine if it can be repaired or if the unit needs to be replaced.
- Excess noise: Odd or loud noises can indicate a damaged heating element or a buildup of sediment inside the unit that must be professionally removed.
- Cracks: Like leaks in your unit, any cracks should be inspected by a professional to determine if the system can be repaired or if you need to install a new unit.

How To Avoid Clogged Drains
Clogged drains can lead to smelly sinks and showering in ankle-high water. To avoid getting blockages in your system, follow these tips:
- Keep food scraps out of kitchen drains. Instead, scrape food into the trash.
- Avoid putting liquid grease down the drain. Instead, pour it into a sealable container to put in the garbage after it cools.
- Keep hair out of bathroom drains by installing screens over drains in your showers and tubs.
- Don’t flush anything but sewage and toilet paper down the toilet.
- Schedule regular professional drain cleanings.
