The different types of toilets include:

Clogs: Perhaps the most frequent issue, clogs can occur from an accumulation of toilet paper, non-flushable items, or other debris.
Running Toilets: A toilet that constantly runs can waste a lot of water and often indicates an issue with the flapper valve or other internal components.
Leaks: Leaks around the base of the toilet or in the tank can lead to water damage and increased water bills.
Weak Flush: A weak or sluggish flush might be due to a partial clog or problems with the tank’s mechanics.
Overflowing: Toilets can overflow due to clogs or a malfunctioning float mechanism.
Noisy Toilet: Strange noises post-flushing can indicate a variety of issues, including problems with the fill valve.

Why does my toilet keep running?
This is often due to a faulty flapper valve or an issue with the float mechanism. These parts can deteriorate or become misaligned, causing water to continue flowing into the bowl.
What should I do if my toilet is clogged?
For minor clogs, a plunger can often resolve the issue. If the clog persists, it may require a plumber’s auger (snake) to clear the obstruction, especially if it’s deep in the pipes.
Can I fix a leaky toilet by myself?
Some leaks, especially those at the base or in the tank, can be fixed with DIY methods, like tightening bolts or replacing the wax ring. However, if the leak persists, it’s advisable to consult a professional.
What causes a weak flush in my toilet?
A weak flush could be due to a blockage in the toilet’s internal trap or vent pipes, low water level in the tank, or clogged rim jets.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners for toilet clogs?
It’s generally recommended to avoid using chemical drain cleaners for toilets as they can damage the plumbing and aren’t always effective on typical toilet clogs. Physical removal of the clog is usually safer and more effective.
