Toilet Repair vs. Toilet Replacement
As with any home appliance, it might be more cost-effective upfront or in the long run to replace your toilet instead of repairing it. Toilets can last for decades, but if your toilet was manufactured before 1994, you are likely wasting up to 14 gallons of clean water with every flush. Below are some other signs that you might be better off replacing your toilet:
- Toilet requires frequent repairs.
- Toilet clogs frequently.
- The porcelain is cracking.
- There is water around the bottom of the toilet caused by cracks in the bowl.
- The toilet wobbles or is unsteady.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toilets
When it comes to toilet repair and replacement, the industry-leading team at Northern Comfort Systems has seen and heard it all. That’s why we’ve put together the most common questions we receive from homeowners throughout Indianapolis, just like you.
Why does my toilet run continuously?
The most common reason for this is a faulty flapper. The flapper allows water to enter your toilet bowl from the tank, then seals the entry point when the bowl is full. If your flapper is cracked or warped, it won’t create a seal and the water will run continuously, resulting in constant noise and a higher water bill.
How can I unclog a toilet?
First, do not continue to flush the toilet; this can cause the bowl to overflow and spill dirty water on your floor. A plunger can resolve most clogged toilets. Make sure the plunger covers and seals the whole toilet drain hole, then pump vigorously in and out 10-20 times to break up the clog. If the toilet still doesn’t flush, don’t pour harsh chemicals down it or attempt to disassemble it – call in a professional!
What should I consider when buying a new toilet?
It’s important to consider the size and shape of the space where the toilet needs to go, then choose a toilet that will comfortably fit that footprint. Since you and your family will spend a lot of time on this toilet over the years, you should also consider the shape, height, and seat type that will offer the most comfort. Lastly, you should consider the water efficiency of a toilet and whether it has additional features to conserve more water.
Can I install a toilet myself?
While installing a toilet seems relatively straightforward, a faulty installation can cause costly problems. If the wax ring mold is installed incorrectly, you could end up with a small leak that causes vast water damage to your floor or walls before you notice it. It’s best to call a professional to save yourself time, money, and property damage.
