Repairing The Leaks of Your Toilet

Apr 1st, 2010 Posted in Bathroom | no comment »

For the do-it-yourselfer, repairing things is important. One of the easiest things in your home to repair is the toilet. You can usually replace valves on your own, and even shore up leaks without calling in an expensive plumber. But before you can get to work on the problem, you need to find the leak. And this can be important. 80,000 gallons of water can be wasted each year due to undetected toilet tank leaks. You can save money in water costs, and you can save money having it repaired if you find the leak and repair it yourself.

Nearly every toilet tank works by using two valves. One is called the flush valve and the other is called the refill valve (there is a type of refill valve that is referred to as a ballcock). The flush valve lets the water out, and the refill valve lets the tank fill up again, preparing it for the next flush. If either of these valves is leaking, then you have a great deal of wasted water. When it is the flush valve that is leaking, then water trickles out of the tank. Because the tank registers that the water level is falling, the refill valve allows water back into the tank. What you end up with is a continuous flow of water: constantly flowing our and being replenished. This can become very expensive in terms of water usage. When the refill valve is the problem, water keeps coming into the toilet tank. This causes the water level to rise, and the extra water goes into the overflow pipe. Water continually runs through the system in this case as well.

Checking for leaky valves is fairly simple. The first test is to put some food coloring or a blue laundry soap cake into the tank. Make sure that the tank is full, and do not flush the toilet while you are waiting. In both leak scenarios, the water is leaked into the toilet bowl. So, you wait about 5 to 10 minutes to see if the coloring moves into the toilet bowl. If you see that there is coloring in the bowl, then you know that you have a leak. The next step is to determine what kind of leak it is.

To check the flush valve leak, turn off the supply of water to the toilet. To find the shut off, face the toilet. The valve is located beneath the tank on the left side of the toilet. Turn the valve, and then use a pencil or chalk to mark the water level inside the tank. It should be completely refilled when you do this. Next, let the tank alone for about 20 minutes. This will give time to determine whether water is leaking out. If the water level has fallen below your mark, then you the flush valve is letting water out and you will need to repair it. If the water level remains the same, then you know that it is a problem with the refill valve. A word of caution, however. Sometimes a waterlogged float can cause water to flow into the overflow pipe. Before repairing the refill valve on your own, you should make sure that the float is not causing the problem.

Installing New Bathroom Flooring

Jan 18th, 2010 Posted in Bathroom, Floors | no comment »

Are you ready for a new bathroom floor? Perhaps your taste is willing to accept a new pattern or design to match recently painted or papered walls, but your wallet may be telling you to wait until the economy takes a turn for the better. If you have been successful in managing a few fixer-upper projects around your home in the past, you may be able to install new bathroom flooring for a fraction of the cost that you would have to pay professionals. All you need are a few simple guidelines and quality floor tile or linoleum.

First, decide what type of flooring you want for your bathroom. Tile works especially well, because any of the pieces that become rotted, mildewed, or damaged are easy to replace without taking up the entire floor. Just be sure to buy extra tiles when purchasing the initial batch so the replacement pieces will match their original counterparts. Linoleum may be cheaper, and some people find it a smoother application and fit than tile. But linoleum can be a little trickier to replace if one part becomes damaged, because you will have to cut away the broken part and cut the precise shape and size of replacement tile, which is no small feat.

Next, buy your supplies at the hardware or flooring supply store. Ask the sales associate for suggestions or help when you go shopping for bathroom flooring needs. Read the directions on the adhesive container as well as guidelines that come with the tile or linoleum. In addition, you can check with the sales associate at the store or visit the manufacturer’s website to get help in planning the installation. If you haven’t already, check out tips for removing the old flooring, and repair or replace the sub-floor.

At home, lay out your materials, choosing a time when other family members will be away or occupied in another part of the house. Open the windows or run the whole-house fan to provide adequate air circulation to offset fumes from the adhesive and flooring product. Start in the corner furthest from the doorway that you will exit after completing the job, and this is where to begin laying the new flooring.

Remove any debris from the exposed sub-floor. Remove or cover wall coving to keep it from getting stained by the adhesive. Then apply the adhesive according to the package directions. After this, lay the linoleum or tile, taking care to put it neatly in place. Make sure it is secure and will hold steady until the adhesive dries. Take a clean towel or rag and use it to wipe away excess glue from between the tiles or around the linoleum. Keep everyone off the new flooring until the adhesive has set.

After installation, follow manufacturers’ guidelines for cleaning and maintaining your new bathroom floor. Never use cleaning chemicals, especially bleach or ammonia (which should not be mixed, by the way, due to harmful vapors that can result). You may be able to dust mop your new floor daily or weekly, and scrub it every week or two to keep the new floor looking great.
