"I’ve used SwiftFloPump twice now, and both experiences have been excellent. The first time, we had a sewage pipe burst. Julio came in, quickly figured out exactly what needed to be done, fixed the problem, and even added an access point that we didn’t have before. A couple of months later, our sinks, toilets, and showers started draining extremely slow—and trust me, it wasn’t pretty! Julio came back, found the clog, and got everything flowing properly again. Even though it was a messy job, he left everything spotless when he was finished. Julio is knowledgeable, professional, respectful, and his prices are very reasonable. After two great experiences, I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again. Highly recommend Julio and the SwiftFloPump team! Thank you for everything!"

"My husband and I were very impressed with AMJ Construction. Anthony and his helpers took their time with removing the old doors, replacing it with the new one. They were meticulous about the work being done. The helpers were respectful and answered any questions we may of had. By the end of the job the work area was immaculate. Anthony’s assistant Tracy at the office was patient and very pleasant to work with. We will definitely hire AMJ Construction again for another project."

"Joe was absolutely a life saver. He was able to come to the house, diagnose the issue, source a replacement water heater, and fix it all within roughly six hours. He also worked with my tenants and made them feel confident the issue would be resolved. They weren’t keen on staying when the issue was first discovered, but Joe was able to show them the work would get done and their vacation could still happen."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Yes, frozen pipes can cause a toilet to stop working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which can lead to two main problems. First, the supply line to the toilet tank may be frozen, which prevents the tank from refilling with water after you flush. Second, the drain pipe itself can freeze, blocking water from flushing away. As a temporary solution for a non-refilling tank, you can manually add water, but this is not a long-term fix. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try pouring warm water into the toilet bowl or tank and then flushing, as the warm water may help thaw the ice blockage. Ultimately, the best course of action is to unfreeze the affected pipes to restore your toilet to full functionality.

You should replace your toilet at least every 25 years. While toilets are pretty sturdy appliances, they don’t last forever. Even if you aren’t ready to invest in the cost of a bathroom remodel yet, just replacing your toilet will help freshen up your space and keep your bathroom functioning.

A toilet flapper will remain open when the chain that it is connected to is too short. The chain should lift the flapper just enough to allow it to open the rest of the way on its own. The chain should have just about half an inch of slack.

The lifespan of a toilet can vary significantly. While the porcelain body itself can last up to 50 years or more with proper care, most plumbers suggest an average functional lifespan of 10 to 25 years, and many homeowners replace their toilets after about 20 years.

A toilet's longevity is influenced by factors like maintenance quality, hard water buildup, and damage to the finish. It's also important to note that internal components have much shorter lifespans than the bowl; for example, flappers may last only a few years, while fill valves can last around 10 years.

Even if an older toilet is still functional, consider upgrading to a high-efficiency model to save on water costs.

While you don’t have to run out and immediately buy a new toilet at the first sign of a clog, if the toilet keeps clogging because it’s a low-flow or poorly designed model, a new toilet may be the way to go. If your toilet keeps clogging, you can try using less toilet paper, adjusting the fill valve, checking the toilet vent pipe on the roof, and using a toilet auger to make sure nothing is stuck in the pipe or trap.
