Why Do Toilets Leak?

There are a variety of reasons why your toilet may start to leak. If you hear your toilet running for an unusually long amount of time after each flush, there is a good chance you may have a leak.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Leaking Toilets?

• Corroded flush valve
• Rusted overflow pipe
• Worn flapper valve
• Leaking supply line
• Broken toilet tank

These types of issues, while seemingly minuscule, can turn into a larger problem if they are not promptly addressed. A leaky toilet could be wasting up to 200 gallons of water per day, driving up your water bill and forcing you to spend more of your hard-earned money.

Toilet Flushing By Itself?

A toilet flushing by itself can be a perplexing and sometimes alarming issue for homeowners. Understanding the potential reasons behind this phenomenon is essential for resolving the problem effectively. 

Several Factors Could Cause a Toilet to Flush by Itself:

• Faulty flapper: A worn-out or improperly seated flapper can allow water to leak from the tank into the bowl, triggering an unintentional flush.
• Water pressure fluctuations: Sudden changes in water pressure within the plumbing system can sometimes create enough force to activate the toilet's flushing mechanism.
• Float valve problems: Malfunctioning float valves may incorrectly detect the water level in the tank, causing the toilet to flush unnecessarily.
• Ghost flushing: This term refers to a situation where a toilet flushes intermittently without any apparent cause, often due to a slow leak from the tank into the bowl.
• Sediment buildup: Mineral deposits and debris can accumulate in the toilet's components over time, affecting their proper functioning and potentially leading to spontaneous flushing.

By identifying and addressing the underlying cause of a toilet flushing by itself, homeowners can prevent water waste, reduce utility bills, and maintain the integrity of their plumbing system. Consulting a professional plumber from Good Guy Plumbing may be necessary for diagnosing and resolving more complex issues.

The Benefits of a New Toilet

Another common culprit of a high water bill is an old toilet. If you have a toilet that was manufactured before 1994, chances are it is unnecessarily elevating your water bill.

This is because older toilets can use up to 3.5 gallons of water every time they are flushed. Fortunately, we now have several types of low-flow toilets at our disposal that are designed to deliver the same flushing capacity as the older ones.

Additionally, some newer toilets are engineered to save more water. These are toilets designed to use as little as 0.9 gallons to flush fluid waste and 1.6 gallons for solid waste. Good Guy can help with any type of toilet repair or installation in the Torrance area.
