Calling toilets a “necessity” might be the understatement of, well, forever.
So, what to do when this can’t-do-without device develops a problem?
Like any other Mayfield household appliance, toilets can have their own collection of challenges. They might run continuously. Flush weakly. Clog regularly.
Don’t forget, fill the tank slowly. Rock back and forth. Leak water from the base. Emit a sewer smell (these last two, by the way, should NOT be ignored).
Fortunately, most toilet issues can be fixed. Problems typically point to failing or malfunctioning parts: flappers, fill valves, flush valves, supply lines, wax rings or handle mechanisms. Adjust or replace these, and flushing usually resumes.
Unsure of a toilet’s problem, or how to fix it? Don’t stress out, or spend time watching vague “fix it yourself” videos. Instead, contact Brandt Plumbing, the top toilet plumber (and plumbing services provider) in Mayfield. Their residential plumbing experts will have your toilet back filling and flushing before you know it!
Many toilet issues don’t necessitate replacement … but things can’t just be left as is, either.
A pull-and-reset is disconnecting a toilet, then resetting and reconnecting it with new parts.
It’s a good solution when a wax ring fails, or a toilet flange needs replacing or raising. Other situations where pull-and-reset often works could involve a wobbly toilet, a toilet leaking at its base, or where flooring has been replaced and the toilet needs to be reset.

Sometimes a toilet can’t be fixed. If porcelain is cracked, a unit is older, or the same problems keep happening … flush it for a new model. You might even be pleasantly surprised at the newest improvements in toilet technology!
Some standard guidelines remain true for toilet shopping. Look for a model with an elongated bowl, and comfort height for easier seating. Make sure it’s at least 1.6 gallons per flush (GPF) or dual flush. Finally, seek out quality brands – Toto, Kohler and Mansfield won’t do you wrong.
If you don’t have time or desire for toilet shopping, Brandt Plumbing offers a range of high-quality toilets. They’re glad to install models purchased by Mayfield customers, too.
Not all toilet replacements are due to equipment malfunction. Mayfield homeowners update toilets for a variety of reasons, purely out of choice.
Upgrading to a high-rise toilet is common for comfort. A new toilet typically delivers greater flushing power. During bathroom remodeling, a new toilet is often part of the process.
If you hope to replace a toilet, stop waiting. Brandt Plumbing will help. A toilet is regularly used, to say the least - why not have one that works best for you?
Bidet toilets have seen an upsurge in popularity. Many Brandt Plumbing Mayfield customers have been thrilled with the upgrade.
If a toilet is being replaced, a full-featured bidet toilet can be installed. Brandt Plumbing can also install bidet attachments, or bidet seats, on existing units. If you’ve considered a bidet, chances are you’ll relish the “clean” break from traditional toilet performance!
Let’s face it: A malfunctioning or poorly-operating toilet is a quality of life issue. Don’t let it remain. Contact Brandt Plumbing for toilet repair or replacement that will flush your troubles away!
