Frequently asked questions
Is it better to repair or replace a toilet?
If the toilet is cracked or fails repeatedly, replacement can be the better choice. Otherwise most issues are an inexpensive repair.
Why does my toilet keep clogging?
Causes include a partial blockage deeper in the line, low flush power or too much paper. If it repeats, the drain line may need inspecting.
