In your restroom, sits a toilet. It is sometimes called the porcelain throne, the lavatory, water closet, the John, the little boys room, and even the oval office. And seriously, we’ve all been known to have just a little fun with calling it by any number of things.
[/minti_headline][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”” animation=”none” width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]At NIR Plumbing, we don’t so much care what you call it. We just care that it works. There are few things as truly unsettling as an unreliable toilet. Or worse, an overflowing toilet! It can be less than glamorous to deal with. The good news is you don’t have to because NIR Plumbing is here to do it for you.
We also understand that sometimes there is a simple fix for these things that you, the home owner, want to roll up your sleeves and handle. We get this, so we have come up with some simple fixes to help you with your WC. But first you might be asking “Why does this happen?”
You flushed like always and the swirling vortex started it’s usual decent only to erupt like[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”” animation=”none” width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]some dormant volcano that was rude enough to give no warning of it’s desire to spew lava. And now it’s put you off your whole day, because exploding toilets do that. So what went wrong? There are any number of factors that play into the malfunctioning toilet. Some are terribly elementary, such as the scenario of having a two year old in the house. Need we say more? Watches, toys, and socks all finding their way down the toilet with toddlers.
Not every toilet issue is created equally, but here are some everyday backing up, overflowing abode dramas that we can help you self resolve or even fix with the expert plumbing work we just happen to provide at a great value![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”standard_section” bg_repeat=”stretch” parallax_bg=”” stellar_class=”default” section_arrow=”” video_bg=”” enable_video_color_overlay=”” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bg_position=”left top” video_opts=”” multi_color_overlay=””][vc_column animation=”none” bg_color=”” bg_image=”” column_padding=”no-padding” column_custompadding=”0px 0px 0px 0px” column_center=”” text_color=”dark” custom_text_color=”” text_align=”left” width=”1/1″][vc_row_inner el_id=””][vc_column_inner el_class=”” animation=”none” width=”1/2″][minti_toggle title=”Your toilet is clogged. Oh the joys of a clogged drain line, not!” open=”false” icon=”fa-plus”]Line stoppage is the main reason for overflowing toilets. When a clog occurs the water level in your toilet bowl rises and doesn’t flush the contents away. Some people are too hasty and will flush the toilet again in hopes that the additional water will ‘push’ the contents down. But it will only make the toilet overflow in earnest. When you have a clog, you need to find out what is blocking the bowl. And if your self diagnosis fails, you need a plumber. Our lives are one toilet clog after another. We’re the oval office fixers! But first try this—
Simple fix: Use a plunger to loosen the clog. However, one should not be plunging before and after ever use. If this is what you are having to do, the simple fix isn’t going to resolve the issue.[/minti_toggle][minti_toggle title=”Your toilet isn’t flushing completely, why? The chain isn’t opening the flush valve found in the tank.” open=”false” icon=”fa-plus”]
Simple fix: Reconnect the chain that has come loose from the arm.
[/minti_toggle][minti_toggle title=”What about when your tank is filling slowly? The fill supply may be partially closed.” open=”false” icon=”fa-plus”]
Simple fix: Completely open the shut off valve.

Why does this happen? The flush valve in the tank is obstructed from closing completely.” icon=”fa-plus”]
Simple fix: Make sure the chain is not kinked and has a small amount of slack.
[/minti_toggle][minti_toggle title=”When there’s water under your toilet tank. Because this happens.” open=”false” icon=”fa-plus”]
Simple fix: Tighten the connections or replace them. If it turns out to not be so simple a fix, have a plumber do it!
