Nothing ruins a good day like a clogged, overflowing toilet.

The plumbers atPlumb Tech want to make sure your toilet plumbing is perfect, so we’ve compiled a list of common plumbing problems–as well as signs that it’s time to bring in the experts to help you with your toilet plumbing problems.

Here are a few common toilet plumbing problems:

• Toilet doesn’t flush–or doesn’t flush all the way
• Water trickles into the bowl (also called “phantom flushes)
• Toilet overflows when flushed
• Toilet constantly fills with water. Some people call this a “running toilet.” Basically, you will hear the sound of the tank refilling–and refilling–and refilling.
• Bowl empties slowly.
• Toilet is loose and can shift/rock when people sit on it.
• Toilet tank is always empty
• Too little water in toilet bowl (which can result in items left behind in the bowl after a flush)
• Multiple flushes–when you push the lever once, but the toilet goes for the gold–and flushes twice.
• Leaky seals
• Worn ball cock valve that results in moaning (usually heard at night)
• Whistling toilets

There are also several major problems such as:

• Toilet bowl or tank cracking, fracturing, or leaking water.
• Toilet installation and/or replacement
