Toilet Repair in Scottsdale, AZ
There is a certain standard to be had from a good toilet: it should flush with authority, refill without noise and stay put on the floor. But when you are dealing with constant running, clogs, leaks or a unit that will not flush at all, Reliant Plumbing & Rooter is here to handle the repair for your home or business in Scottsdale.
We do not believe in replacing parts on a hunch. An experienced plumber from our team will put the tank, bowl, shutoff valve, flapper, wax seal and everything in between under scrutiny to get to the root of the matter.
Common Issues in Scottsdale
Our technicians begin with an inspection. We will check the water pressure, test internal components and clear any clogs. If we suspect something deeper, we may put in a camera. Getting in early to make repairs is the best way to avoid wasting water or having an unforeseen sewer backup damage to your floors. In addition to toilets, Reliant provides a full range of local plumbing, from water heaters to sewer and drain services across Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix region.
The Local Factor
You have to factor in hard water in this part of the state. The mineral content in Scottsdale’s municipal supply can leave scales on the rim jets and fill-valve openings, leading to premature wear and incomplete flushing. Keeping up with inexpensive tank parts and regular cleaning goes a long way. For those with persistent issues, a licensed plumber should be called in to assess the pressure; the city would advise a pressure-reducing valve for pre-1995 properties where it is consistently high.
Then there is the age of the housing stock. Many of our established neighborhoods date back to the boom of the 1950s and have older systems or past remodels. Put a new toilet on an old pipe, and you may still have clogs if the downstream line is misaligned or damaged. And if the problem extends to the sewer, the ground itself can be an obstacle. We work in areas with granite and caliche, which, as the city specs will tell you, makes for an uneven bearing surface for pipes. Add in some shifting soil or roots, and you have a blockage a plunger is not going to fix.
