Take the Plunge(r): Replace Your Toilet
Any way you flush it your home’s toilets have a tough job. But even the most majestic throne can’t last forever. If your toilets are showing signs of age like frequent clogs, cracks, constantly running, or struggling to fully flush, it may be time to consider replacement.
While it may not be the most glamorous home investment, installing modern, water-efficient toilets can provide benefits beyond just functional performance:
- Water Efficiency: Older low-efficiency toilets can use up to seven gallons per flush, wasting natural resources and money via higher utility bills. Newer models may use just less than a gallon and a half per flush.
- Maximum Power: Today’s toilet models provide maximum flushing force for handling anything you can throw at them. Features like high-pressure assisted flushes allow fewer.
- Easier Cleaning: Modern toilets feature fully glazed trapways and innovative designs that minimize areas where stains and gunk can accumulate, and odors can linger.
- Comfort and Accessibility: Looking for something beyond a basic model? From advanced bidet cleaning to heated seats, adjustable heights, hands-free flushing, and more, new toilets provide countless opportunities to enhance comfort and independence.
- Value and Aesthetics: New, high-efficiency, and stylish toilets instantly elevate your bathroom’s look and resale value.

Flushing Money Down the Toilet?
Are you wasting money and sacrificing luxury by putting up with an outdated and inefficient toilet? Your lavatory will let you know when it’s time to talk to Service Minds Benjamin Franklin about a replacement:
- It Frequently Clogs: Does it seem like you’re reaching for the plunger every time you flush? A toilet that struggles to flush away even small waste loads may have an obstruction or internal component failure that no amount of plunging or snaking will fully resolve.
- It Cracks and Leaks: Even a tiny crack in the toilet tank or bowl provides a direct path for leaks every time you flush. As minerals build up, these hairline cracks become increasingly larger and more common.
- It Runs Constantly Running: That incessant sound of water trickling into the toilet bowl is more than just an annoyance; it’s also the sound of your money circling the bowl. Toilets that constantly run or randomly flush on their own can waste hundreds of gallons of water.
- It’s Old: Once yours enters its teen years, the risks of serious issues increase exponentially. Aged components become more prone to failure, requiring frequent repairs that may cost more than a new toilet installation.
Don’t keep throwing money into a bog pit of endless repairs and utility costs. If your home’s toilets are telling you they’re about to go in the tank, it’s time to contact the experienced plumbers at Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for an honest, educated assessment on whether toilet replacement makes sense for you.
