Can I repair a cracked toilet bowl or tank?

In most cases, a cracked toilet bowl or tank cannot be permanently repaired and should be replaced. Small hairline cracks may sometimes be sealed with epoxy as a temporary fix, but this is not a long-term solution, especially if the crack is located in a spot that could worsen under pressure. If the crack is leaking or in a structurally important area, it's best to replace the toilet to avoid water damage or potential failure. A professional plumber can assess the severity of the crack.

What causes low water levels in the toilet bowl?

Low water levels in the toilet bowl can be caused by several factors. One common reason is a clogged vent pipe , which prevents air from flowing into the plumbing system, causing improper flushing and low water levels. Another cause could be a malfunctioning fill valve that isn’t properly refilling the bowl after each flush. Additionally, a crack in the bowl or the toilet trap can allow water to leak out. Sometimes, improper toilet settings or adjustments to the water level may also be the issue. A professional plumber can diagnose and fix the problem.

We just started using Matt's Plumbing, first for a pipe leak (Jim) and more recently for a garbage disposal replacement (Jerry). Had a really positive experience for both, from estimate to scheduling and the work being done. Jim and Jerry were professional, knowledgeable about the work, and super easy to work with. Matt's is our new go-to for all things plumbing. Definitely recommend!
