TOILET REPAIR & INSTALLATION

Of all the plumbing problems at your home or place of business, most people would rank a clogged toilet as #1.

When using a plunger proves to be ineffective in solving the problem or if the clog happens frequently, you will probably need the assistance of a certified plumber from Steve's Plumbing & Drain in Phoenix, AZ and across the Valley.
Another common problem is the constant running of water from the tank into the bowl. This issue, in addition to being annoying for the constant noise it creates, can also be an expensive one when you consider the cost of all that wasted water on your monthly bills. This kind of problem is usually the result of a faulty component inside the tank that allows the water to continuously drain into the bowl.
Water may also be leaking from your toilet if the wax ring locally located between the bowl and the drain becomes cracked or dried out. You may also notice your toilet wobbling from side to side or appearing unstable if you have a broken anchor flange.

Do not dispose of items like feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, facial cleansing towelettes or paper towels in the toilet
-
Keep a wastebasket nearby to remove the temptation of flushing items not meant for the toilet
