Low water pressure, constant running, and minor leaks are a few common toilet-related problems that you may encounter. However small a problem may seem, however, you should never attempt toilet repair on your own. Below are three of our top reasons for avoiding DIY toilet repair jobs.
- Toilets are complex. There are more parts to a functioning toilet than you may have thought, and problems can occur with each one of these components. Unless you’ve been properly trained in fixing plumbing-related issues, you likely aren’t going to be well versed in how toilets function, meaning you won’t be able to accurately pinpoint what is causing your particular issue.
- Problems can worsen. Without knowledge and training, you’re more likely to accidentally make your toilet problem worse if you try to fix it on your own. There’s no shortage of online tutorials for how to fix your toilet, but we strongly discourage you from trusting them. It’s one thing to watch a video on toilet repair, but it’s another thing altogether to try the repair job by yourself.
- Issues can be more severe than you think. One of the biggest advantages of reaching out to a professional plumber when you need toilet repair services is their knowledge of how a larger plumbing system works. Your seemingly simple toilet problem could be a symptom of a much larger issue. A plumber will be able to tell when this is the case, so they can let you know what the next best steps are for handling your plumbing situation.
