Picture this in your mind, if you will. It is a Friday evening, you just got off work, returned home, and now you’re ready to kick back and relax. But, after opening the front door, you can tell something is not quite right but can’t put your finger on it. Then, as you begin walking across the carpet near the hallway bathroom, it squishes beneath your feet.

There’s Nothing Like Coming Home To Wet Carpeting

So much for taking it easy; you must now investigate and see where the water is coming from. You look up to ensure nothing is happening above your head and don’t see any drops, so turn and go into the bathroom. That’s when you notice a giant crack in the toilet tank, and it’s flooding the place. Using quick thinking, you turn off the emergency stop and kill the H2O to the commode. Now, it’s time to clean up and start drying everything out, but what about the toilet?

It appears that your cat jumped on the window sill sometime during the day and knocked off a heavy mirror, which hit and cracked the tank. Of course, you could leave the matter as-is until Monday, but if that’s your only functioning water closet, that might be a problem. There’s also the option of heading to the hardware store and buying parts to take a do-it-yourself approach to fix the damage. However, that might turn troublesome in a hurry if you obtain the wrong pieces or don’t have the correct tools for the job.

Toilet Repair, After Hours Plumber

The Best Solution Is Only A Phone Call Away

There is an alternative for those in Rochester, NY that wish to avoid all of those things mentioned above. They can contact our after-hours plumbing company and get a licensed plumber to repair the toilet promptly. Just think, you and your family won’t have to run back and forth to the neighbors to do your business.

Hiring a pro might save a person from obtaining an injury too. For example, the majority of toilets are porcelain, and when they crack or break, the pieces left behind are razor-sharp. If an individual doesn’t wear gloves, they could slice their arm, hand, or finger wide open in a hurry. The cut might only be minor, but then again, it may be bad enough to require stitches too. These are some of the reasons why you shouldn’t have to, nor do you have to, wait to get your toilet repaired until Monday when it’s just now Friday afternoon.
