Q: Should I hire Roto-Rooter or a local plumber?

• <div><p>If you know the job is going to be extensive (and you don&rsquo;t like surprises), hiring a Roto-Rooter specialist may make sense for you. You&rsquo;ll know how much you&rsquo;re going to pay right away.</p><p>That said, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-best-plumber-plumbing-tips.htm">hiring the best plumber</a> isn&rsquo;t solely about price. If you've worked with a plumber you trust before or have a list of plumbing services you need tackled at your home, working with a plumber might be a better choice for you.</p></div>

Q: Is snaking a toilet different from snaking a sink or bathtub?

• <div><p>Snaking a toilet is similar to clearing sinks and bathtubs, but there are unique circumstances where you&rsquo;d have to drain, disassemble, and remove the toilet to fix the clog. For stubborn clogs in the toilet trap, a toilet auger&mdash;designed with a shorter cable and a protective plastic encasing&mdash;can navigate the tight bends and clear the clog without risking damage to the porcelain. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to repair or replace a toilet?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s better to repair a toilet than to replace it. Fixing issues like low water levels, running water, and flushing problems is less expensive than buying a new unit. Start thinking about replacement if the toilet is cracked, using excessive amounts of water, or is over 15 years old. Newer models are more water-efficient and clog less often than older models. </p></div>

Q: How far off the wall should a toilet be?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common toilet repair?

• <div><p>The most common toilet repair is dealing with clogs, followed closely by replacing a worn-out flapper. While clogs can happen anytime in any toilet, they most commonly occur with older toilets that have smaller diameter clearances and often empty into smaller diameter sewer connections. Because toilet flappers only last a few years, they are next in line for the most common toilet failures. </p></div>

Well when you buy an old house make sure you take a look at the sewer because that could be very costly. I got to see what inside the sewer look like and that it was in fairly good shape.
