Don’t let a stubborn clog ruin your day. The experts can handle the repair and servicing of clogged toilets with ease. When licensed professionals are called for a slow drain or a clogged toilet, they can recommend different services depending on the type of stoppage and how they can clear the line. Sometimes these methods involve the use of a hand-operated drain snake. For more serious blockages, the plumbers can employ advanced tools such as powered drain lines or water jets to restore proper flow.

Mysterious water leaks from toilets:

Those mysterious puddles that form under the toilet tank usually signal the presence of a problem. Considering that there are many toilet components, we recommend that you leave it to our authorised professionals to precisely identify the leak. Toilet components such as a worn water supply line, a leaky shut-off valve or a broken wax ring can be the source of toilet water leaks. To avoid damage and water leaks, close the toilet shut-off valve until our licensed professionals can make a timely diagnosis and repair. When you turn to us for a leaky toilet repair, rest assured that you are in experienced hands. We prioritise professionalism and efficiency to ensure that your toilet problems are resolved quickly.

Repair and replacement of the toilet wax ring, flange and flush:

Have you ever had your toilet leak from the base? Or perhaps your toilet is rocking from side to side? These types of problems usually indicate a problem under the base of the toilet. Toilets are mounted, bolted and fixed to a flange that is connected to the flush lines. When the parts underneath the toilet start to fail, it is always a good idea to call in our authorised plumbers for an accurate diagnosis and proper repair. Quality is non-negotiable for us, which is why our staff includes licensed and certified plumbing professionals.

Position the sink on the countertop. If your sink has one, position the mounting ring over the drain opening and place the vessel on the ring. Other sink models may require a bead of silicone sealant to seal the sink to the countertop.

Insert the drain flange and end piece

Apply a bead of plumber’s putty along the underside of the drain flange to the drain fitting. If the drain comes with a foam or rubber gasket, place it on the underside of the drain flange.

Insert the end piece of the drain fitting down into the drain opening of the sink and through the cutout in the countertop. If the drain flange is labeled, position it so the label is vertical when looking into the sink from the front.

Note: It is best to install the drain before inserting it into the sink.

Attach the end piece

Apply pipe joint compound to the rubber gasket. From the bottom of the sink, slide the gasket around the drain end piece and all the way into the countertop cutout. Screw the friction ring onto the end piece, followed by the fastening nut. Hand tighten the mounting nut as far as it will go, then use needle nose pliers to tighten it a little tighter. Be careful not to over tighten as this can damage the sink. Double check the alignment of the drain fitting and labeling to make sure it is still straight. Wipe away any excess putty around the drain flange with a rag.

Complete the drain assembly

Connect the trap to the sink drain spigot with a slip nut and washer so that it is just snug. Install a siphon arm between the trap drain and the drain pipe in the wall or floor using slip nuts. The siphon arm must have a slight slope to the drain pipe. Depending on the configuration of the drain and the location of the branch opening, you may need to add an end piece extension and/or cut the trap arm to size with a hacksaw.

Check the fit of all drain parts and then tighten the sliding nuts further by hand or with tongue and groove pliers. Many slip nuts do not require pliers. Be careful not to overtighten the nuts.

Steps

Turn off the water and flush the toilet. Hold the handle down until no more water flows out of the tank, then sponge the rest into the bowl to empty the tank completely.

Unhook the flapper chain and unhook the flapper from the overflow tube. It may have rubber tabs that you can pull off the overflow tube. Some flapper plates are connected to the pipe by a ring. To remove such a flapper, you must push the ring to the top of the tube and lift it off.

Wipe the valve opening with a clean rag and check its condition. If it is plastic and feels rough, dry it off and sand the roughness with 150 grit wet/dry sandpaper.

Check the sealing ring around the outside of the valve seat. If it feels loose or looks damaged, replace it with a new one. You can buy replacement rings at specialty stores. The simplest rings are self-adhesive and will only stick if the tank is absolutely dry.

Remove the old gasket by grasping it and pulling it out. It is made of stretchy rubber that comes off when stretched.

Wipe the remaining water from the bottom of the tank with a rag, then dry the bottom of the tank with a hair dryer. Set the hair dryer to medium-hot and move it around so you don’t overheat any part of the tank.

Remove the paper from the bottom of the sealing ring and place the ring around the valve seat opening. Press down to secure the ring to the bottom of the tank.

Replace the valve and attach the chain connecting it to the flush handle. Try the handle to make sure it raises the flap all the way, and make sure the chain is not taut when the flap is down. Adjust the chain as needed.

Turn on the water and allow the tank to fill, then test the flush.
