The Commode Conspiracy, Part 1

What are the primary causes of toilet leaks and how can homeowners determine if they need a simple flapper replacement or a full rebuild? Usually more often than not a toilet is leaking because of the hard water. Texas water is notorious for being very hard. Your toilet should never be leaking. Really? Absolutely. A good indicator is if you take the lid off and your flapper looks all wobbly or it's turning off and on when it's not supposed to, definitely should get your flapper replaced. If the bolts on the inside look green and rusted and the gaskets look like they're hanging on by a thread, more than likely it's time to replace the whole kit and caboodle. The whole toilet? Well, at least the inside components of it. You know, the toilet should be okay.
