The toilet is one of the most frequently used items in the home. Not only does it need to work properly, but it also needs to offer comfort and efficiency. If your toilet is lacking in any way, it may be time to replace! Four Seasons Home Services is your Chicago plumbing contractor for all of your plumbing needs, and we can help you find the perfect toilet replacement for your home and your needs. If you aren’t sure whether replacement is really necessary, here are some real reasons why you should have that old toilet replaced by Four Seasons today:
- Water Efficiency: Old toilets waste tons of water with each and every flush. Depending on the toilet it could waste anywhere from 4 to 6 gallons per flush. These days, toilets are able to eliminate waste from the home with as little as 1.6 gallons of water if not less! That will add up to savings on your water bill and you can feel good about making your home a little bit greener.
- Leaks: Leaks in an old toilet could mean that your toilet is wasting even more water on a day to day basis. Toilet running is just one type of leak that can add up to thousands of gallons wasted per year.
- Broken Components: At Four Seasons, our plumbers have seen countless toilets that have been jerry-rigged to work properly. Zip ties will only hold for so long before you have to actually replace the broken part. Before you invest money into that old toilet, consider putting that money towards a new toilet instead. If the toilet is fairly new, have a professional plumber from Four Seasons get those repairs done properly.
- Comfort: If your toilet isn’t comfortable, then it has to go! All toilets are not created equal and if your toilet is too small, too narrow, too low, or too high, you have a real reason to have it replaced.
