PLUMBING FOR TOILETS, SINKS, SHOWERS

Bathroom plumbing repairs and options

Of all the home plumbing problems, the most unpleasant has to be the clogged toilet. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most common plumbing problems.

Here are a few things you should know as you prepare to face a toilet repair:

• If your sink is draining well, it’s probably a clog in your toilet trap.
• If your sink also drains slowly, you may have a more serious issue— an obstruction in your main sewer line (such as tree roots), or sludgy build-up. In this case, a plumber should be called.
• Clogs are often the result of facial tissue or some other product that wasn’t designed to disintegrate like toilet paper.
• If you have kids, the clog could also be a toy, sock or some other science experiment.
• Using a plunger can probably give you temporary relief, but if the clogs recur often, call a plumbing specialist.

Saving water. Some of these advances have been driven by ecological concerns and legislation. For example, low-flow showerheads and toilets help us all conserve water.

Tech toilets and cyber-showers. Others advances, however, are driven by that most tried and true of capitalistic ideals—building a better mousetrap. Toto^® offers toilets with automated flushing, heated seats, mechanically controlled seats and lids, bidet-like features and more bells and whistles than you’ve ever dreamed you might find on a commode.

And there is even a new wave of showers featuring computer programming to control temperature, water pressure and spray type. It’s a personalized shower experience for every member of the family.
