Toilets are one of the most used, if not the most used, plumbing fixture in a home. When they start to malfunction it can be a big pain to deal with. If you notice your toilet isn't draining all the contents, isn't filling up all the way, or is even making some weird sounds when flushed, chances are there's one of 3 common toilet plumbing issues going on.
Sometimes the water level in your tank can be set a little too low, and thankfully this isn't a super serious problem. Your toilet uses a lot of water for a proper flush. If your toilet tank level is set too low, it can lead to your toilet not getting as much water as it needs and not properly filling after flushing. If you check out the inside of your toilet tank, you should see a line that indicates where the water level should be. Most toilet floats in the tank allow you to adjust the water level. Float balls or float cups are the most common styles in modern plumbing.
A large portion of our plumbing repair clients don't know what inlet holes are, let alone to check if they're blocked. Inlet holes are where the water enters the bowl of your toilet from under the rim or near the drain. If one or more of these holes is clogged, you will notice less water coming into the bowl and gaps in where the water is coming from. These small holes can get clogged with bacteria and mineral deposits, and should be checked often. Blocked inlet holes isn't a plumbing problem you should handle yourself, but Prestige Plumbing plumbing repair and emergency response can unclog them quickly.
