- It clogs frequently. If you find yourself keeping a plunger beside the toilet, and using it frequently, your toilet might not have the flushing power it needs. Many older toilets experience this problem.
- One flush isn’t enough to clear out the waste. When you flush your toilet but it looks like a nasty soup returns to the bowl, your toilet is struggling and failing to clear waste out.
- There’s damage. Porcelain can crack, chip, or scratch relatively easily. This damage might not be leaking now, but it’s not going to get better on its own. Over time, the damage can extend and cause you some serious trouble.
- Your toilet might be wasting a ton of water and money. Old toilets that flush your money down the drain or toilets that leak will drain your money over time. New technology exists in toilets that amp up the flushing power while reducing water usage.
- Your toilet is constantly running. This is a common problem, and can often be fixed… but if it’s one of more problems, it might not be worth repairing. Keep an eye on your utility bills and pay attention to rises.
- The toilet is wobbling. While this is usually a matter of tightening a couple of bolts, sometimes it’s caused by damaged flooring underneath caused by water damage.
- You want more features. You’ve heard of bidets, but did you know you can get heated and lighted seats? The future is now!
- Your toilet is uncomfortable. Toilets come in varying sizes and heights, and perhaps you want to upgrade your toilet to a throne.
- Your toilet is ugly. It might seem like a silly reason to replace a toilet to some people, but your toilet is an important part of your bathroom and it’s something that your guests notice. There are some really beautiful toilets out there!
