Toilet

Let’s be frank, you probably use the toilet more than any other plumbing appliance in your residence. Most homes nowadays usually have more than one bathroom and therefore more than one toilet.

Such frequent use might very well create problems that call for instant handling.
The professional team at Long Island Plumber provides top quality services for any plumbing problem you might encounter, including, of course, toilet troubles.
Also, you can consult with one of our skilled crew members as to how you can undertake such crises and handle them on your own.

How your Toilet Operates
Knowing some basic facts on how the toilet works can come in handy.

The toilet handle has a chain attached to it that causes the flush valve to loosen. After the toilet tank is emptied and the flow of water to the bowl is completed, the flush valve returns to its location at the tank's base. The section called siphon is responsible for sucking the wastes as well as the water down the drain.

The refill valve is then turned to allow the flow of water into the tank. As a result, the same float that activated the refill valve by dropping is again elevated and causes the valve to be turned off. Inside the tank, there is yet another device, an overflow tube, responsible for flood prevention if for any reason the refill valve continues to work.

It is the synergy between these features that enables the proper operation of your toilets.

Toilet Trouble
But as we all know, problems ranging from clogs and leaks to flooding tend to arise every so often. The experts at Long Island Plumber are ready to assist you with any toilet related predicaments you might encounter. Our skilled pros will arrive at the scene when needed and can also supply you with some do-it-yourself tips to allow you some damage control when your toilet breaks.

Replacing & Installing
Toilet replacement is not the daunting task you might imagine it to be. All you have to do is follow several easy steps and you'll get the job done in no time.

Start with cutting off the water supply by turning the toilet's shutoff valve off. Remove the old water line and later attach a new one to the tank.

Don't forget to completely drain the old tank and bowl before you do away with them. Carefully remove the nuts and bolts from the relevant fixtures and use a wrench to fasten new ones.
