You Have a Leak in a Pipe
Your Toilet has Been Damaged
You Have a Partial Clog
If you have a leak in a pipe then one of the symptoms is low water pressure. It is more common for homeowners to notice this issue due to leaks in showers or in their faucets, but it can be noticed in the toilet as well. If this is the problem then you need to contact an experienced plumber right away as there could be hidden leak that is allowing contaminated water into your home. If your toilet has suddenly started flushing much more slowly then this may be the cause.
Wear and tear, damage, and just age can all lead to a toilet not flushing as quickly as it should. If your toilet has seemed to slowly get slower and slower to flush, then this is a possible reason. You may not notice any visible damage, but if it is past its prime then the internal mechanisms may not be working as well as they should. It could be as simple as replacing these mechanisms, or the best answer could be a new toilet. You can count on 1st Choice Plumbing, Flood & Restoration to offer an honest assessment and advice.
It is hard not to notice when you have a fully clogged toilet but it is possible that there is a partial clog under the surface that you simply don’t know about. The bad news about partial clogs is that they will eventually turn into full clots if they are not addressed. The good news is that at 1st Choice Plumbing, Flood & Restoration we can provide complete draining cleaning services. When we are done, your pipes will be like-new and any clogs will be a think of the past.
