Wezee’s Plumbing is here to help you answer the question, “when is it the right time to get a new toilet?” We know that toilets are an important part of daily life, and we want to make sure you have the best possible experience. Toilets can last for many years with proper care, but there may come a time when it is time to replace your old toilet with a new one.
Signs That We May Need To Replace Your Toilet
Having To Flush More Than Once
Do you find yourself having to flush the toilet more than once? Is your toilet now removing everything the first time that you push the handle? If this is the case you might need to retire your toilet. This is a sign that it could be time to look into getting a new model. Having to flush more than once is purely an inconvenience. Not only could you flush and walk away and leave something in there for the next person to find which can become embarrassing, but it’s also a waste of water.
Regularly Plunging Your Toilet
Toilet plunger usage should be limited as much as possible to avoid damaging your septic system. Septic systems are underground wastewater treatment structures, typically used in rural areas where there is no connection to a central sewer system. Wastewater from your home flows through a series of pipes into the septic tank. Using a toilet plunger creates suction that can pull vent pipes out of the ground, which can also lead to sewage backups. To avoid damaging your septic system, limit toilet plunger usage as much as possible. If you must use a plunger, be sure to use one with a rubber or plastic cup large enough to create a good seal around the drain opening. Use gentle plunging motions and do not allow the cup to collapse, as this can damage the drain pipes.Â
While it is important to keep your toilet clean, you should not have to plunge it more than once a week. If you find that you are having to plunge your toilet more frequently, there are a few potential causes. First, you may be using excessive amounts of toilet paper. Try using less toilet paper or switching to a thinner brand. Second, you may have a clog in the drain pipe leading from the toilet to the septic tank or sewer line. If this is the case, you will need to contact a plumber to clear the clog. Finally, you may simply have a dirty toilet. Be sure to clean the bowl and brush regularly with a disinfectant cleaner. You can help keep your toilet clean and free of clogs by taking these steps.
Appearance
The appearance of a toilet can be important for several reasons. First, it can play a role in public health. A dirty or neglected toilet can be a breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms, which can lead to the spread of disease. Second, the appearance of a toilet can influence people’s perceptions of a home. A clean and well-maintained toilet is more likely to create a positive impression than one that is dirty or in disrepair. Finally, the appearance of a toilet can impact its function. A toilet that is not regularly cleaned is more likely to become clogged or blocked, making it difficult to use. In summary, the appearance of a toilet can be important for public health, commercial reputation, and function.

Cracks In Your Porcelain Toilet
A crack in your porcelain toilet is bad for a number of reasons. First, it can weaken the structural integrity of the toilet, making it more likely to break. Additionally, cracks can provide a place for bacteria and mold to grow, which can lead to serious health problems. Finally, cracks can allow water to leak out of the toilet, wasting water and increasing your water bill. In short, it’s best to avoid cracks in your toilet by regularly inspecting it for damage and repairing any cracks as soon as possible.
