Common Toilet Problems We Fix

Everyday toilet issues can feel the same on the surface, but they often have different causes inside the fixture or the plumbing system. Because we work across many types of homes in Torrance and the wider South Bay, we see a wide range of problems and know how to track down what is really going on.

If your toilet is constantly clogging, the blockage might be in the trap of the toilet itself, or deeper in the drain line. In older homes, buildup in older cast iron pipes or roots entering sewer lines can contribute to frequent backups. A toilet that rocks at the base or has water pooling around it may have a failing wax ring, loose bolts, or even damage to the flange or subfloor.

A toilet that runs nonstop or cycles on and off usually points to issues inside the tank. Worn flappers, faulty fill valves, or misadjusted floats can waste a lot of water over time. Weak flushes, incomplete flushes, or a toilet that needs more than one flush can be caused by low tank water level, mineral buildup, or problems with the jet or rim holes that move water through the bowl.

Some of the most common toilet symptoms we handle include:

• Frequent or stubborn clogs that a plunger cannot clear for long
• Running toilets that will not stop filling or refilling
• Leaks around the base or on the floor nearby
• Weak, incomplete, or double flushes that leave waste behind
• Toilets that rock, shift, or feel loose at the floor

Whether the issue is inside the toilet, in the nearby piping, or farther down the sewer line, we work to identify the source and explain your options. Because our plumbers also handle drain cleaning, underground leak detection, and repiping, we are prepared to deal with both simple and more complex causes of toilet trouble.

What To Do When Your Toilet Fails

When a toilet suddenly overflows or stops working, it is easy to panic. A few quick steps can limit damage and make it easier for us to help you. We always encourage safety and common sense, and you should never feel pressure to try something that does not feel comfortable or safe.

If water is rising in the bowl, your first move should be to stop the flow. Look for the shutoff valve on the wall or floor behind the toilet and turn it clockwise until the water stops. Avoid repeated flushing when the bowl is already full, because this can push more water onto your floor and into surrounding areas.

It is reasonable to lift the tank lid and take a look if you feel comfortable. Sometimes a chain has come off, a float has become stuck, or the flapper is clearly not sealing. If a simple visual adjustment does not solve it, or if you see signs of leakage at the base or around the supply line, it is time to bring in a licensed plumber.

When you have an urgent toilet problem, these steps can help:

• Turn off the toilet shutoff valve to stop water flow
• Use towels to contain any standing water on the floor
• Avoid using chemical drain cleaners that can damage pipes
• Check nearby drains or fixtures for signs of backup
• Call our office so we can schedule a prompt visit

When you call Tony's Plumbing, Inc., our office team listens to what is happening and asks a few questions to understand how urgent the situation is. From there, we work to get a plumber to your home as quickly as we reasonably can, with the goal of stopping the problem and getting your bathroom back in service.

Preventing Future Toilet Issues

A well maintained toilet should not be a constant source of frustration. While some problems are unavoidable, many of the calls we receive could have been delayed or reduced with a few simple habits. As part of our service, we try to share practical tips so you can keep your plumbing working smoothly.

Flushing only toilet paper and human waste goes a long way. Items such as wipes, cotton products, floss, and small toys are common reasons for clogs, even when packaging suggests they are flushable. In homes around Torrance with older sewer lines or more complex piping, these items can catch on rough spots and build up into serious blockages.

It also helps to pay attention to early warning signs. A toilet that occasionally runs for a few seconds on its own, or a faint water sound in the tank, can indicate a flapper or fill valve starting to fail. Addressing these small issues during a routine plumbing visit is often easier and less costly than waiting for a full failure.
