Signs a toilet should be replaced

•  Make cleaning difficultPermenent equent clogs or weak flushing
  Older toilets — use 305 gallons or more — often clog more from mineral buildup in the rim or trap restricting water flow and obstructing debris.

   

• Cracks in the porcelain
  Hairline cracks in the tank or bowl can eventually leak and cause water damage or even bread causing injury.

   

• Wobbling or leaking at the base
  Sometimes this is just a wax ring or loose bolts, but long-term leaks can rot the floor underneath causing extensive home repairs.

   

• High water bills
  Modern high-efficiency toilets use far less water:
  

  • Older toilets: 3.5 gallons per flush
  • Modern models: 1.28 gallons or less

• Permanent Stains and surface damage make cleaning difficult.

• Consult your plumber for any savings or health risk ideas.
