Leaking Toilet Repairs Melbourne

When it comes to leaking toilets Your Choice Plumbers is the company to call. We provide 24/7 same day service on toilet repairs and replacements throughout Melbourne. Toilets are one of the most important and most used plumbing fixtures in any home or business and prone to leaks. Any toilet either leaks from the cistern (flushing mechanism) or the toilet bowl itself.

To help you understand what is causing your leaking toilet, please read below:

Toilet Leaks behind the toilet bowl are generally caused by worn rubber gaskets. One of the gaskets causing leaking toilet behind the toilet bowl is called Pan Collar Rubber which is located at the discharge point of the ceramic toilet bowl. Replacing this rubber seal requires taking the toilet out completely, changing the leaking rubber seal and re installing the toilet.

The other rubber gaskets which cause external leak mainly at the back of the toilet bowl are easier to replace depending weather your toilet cistern is close coupled (sitting on top of the toilet bowl) or Wall Hung (mounted on the wall). Generally these gaskets are easy to replace and are located on the flush pipe.

When leaking toilet is constantly running and can’t fill up the cistern to flush it is generally caused by a faulty inlet valve. Inlet valve controls the level of water entering the cistern and stops the water at the pre-set level.

When this valve fails, the water is constantly filling up and wasted going down the overflow point causing an excessive toilet leak into the bowl.

The part can be replaced on the spot in most of our appointments unless your toilet is imported, then we have to place a special order for the part.

This type of toilet leak is caused by faulty outlet valve. The outlet valve is concealed inside the flushing mechanism (cistern). It is activated only once you press the flush buttons to flush the toilet. Its function is to hold the water within the cistern and release the water on demand for flushing purposes. When the inlet valve goes it causes a constant loss of water from the cistern into the toilet bowl making the cistern water supply to re activate and re fill every 1-2 hours.

The loss of water is so small that you can’t notice just by looking, but if your cistern is filling up every so often without anyone using it, this means your outlet valve requires attention.
