Do Your Toilet A Favor

One of the top service calls we receive occurs from toilet tanks that are leaking water. Almost all of these calls are avoidable or could at least be prolonged by years. Toilets are sealed by multiple rubber parts that dissolve from strong chemicals and chlorine. Many homeowners, in an attempt to keep their toilets clean, place bleach or cleaning tablets (look like blue hockey pucks) in the tank, which is a recipe for damages. In addition, city water treated with chlorine can also eat away at the rubber seals in the tank, causing leaks. The only way to avoid potential leaks from chlorine is to install a de-chlorinator that removes the chlorine from your water, or perform preventative maintenance every few years by changing out the rubber seals.
