"Their employee arrived and was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Rather than just doing work and charging me for something that might solve the issue, he walked me through some options. We decided a new toilet would be best. Unfortunately with COVID-19 protocols, I have not been able to have them back. They went ahead and ordered all the materials needed ahead of time and are storing it until we can get the job. I look forward to having them back when this is all through."

"He was Responsive and on time. Unfortunately the leak in our toilet did not show up for him while he was there So that problem remains. He did fix our shower and it works like a charm. Was very conscious of cost and our time. Very much appreciated. He helped us while we were dealing with some difficult family circumstances."

"From the time they started they worked and finished the job in one day. They had to buy a new faucet and adapt to the size of the pipes. I was thrilled with the results. I would recommend them. Any other plumbing work I need will be done by them. Joan Schaffer"

"Jared was awesome. He came in and assessed the problem and got right to fixing it. He was here maybe 45 minutes had the issue fixed. He had no problem working with old galvanized pipes and clearing it out. He was on time, efficient, cleaned up after himself and offered some preventative measures we can take to help. I would definitely recommend Afford A Rooter and Jared to anyone who needs a pipe unclogged."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

The toilet should rest 10, 12, or 14 inches from the back wall. As for other clearances, 15 inches is the minimum distance from the flange to any side wall or nearby fixture, including the shower, tub, and sink. Modern codes also require at least 24 inches of clear space in front of the toilet.

The most practical and common setup is a toilet that connects with the sewer line or a septic tank. However, it is possible to install a toilet without a sewer line, and this can be particularly helpful in basements with no or outdated plumbing. An increasingly popular option is an environmentally friendly composting toilet. Other waterless options include incinerating or dry flush toilets, which pull the waste into an airtight container.

If you have to hold the toilet handle (also called the toilet lever) down to flush, you probably have a chain problem. A chain that cannot fully lift the flapper will close too early and not clear the toilet bowl. Try adjusting the chain length so there’s about ½ inch of slack.   

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.

Yes, you can fill your toilet tank manually to help it flush, or you can pour the water directly into the bowl to flush it manually. This will work for the majority of toilets, as most use a gravity feed system. However, you should only ever use this as a temporary solution. If your toilet tank isn’t filling, you should find out why. First, make sure the speedy valve connected to your toilet and your water main are open. If that doesn’t solve the issue, call in a professional to address the problem.
