You might think that there isn’t much to consider when you inspect a toilet, but there are a few important points to keep in mind about this essential part of your home. Since your toilet contains contaminated water, you don’t want it to leak. If the toilet is not firmly attached, then it could be a risk for leaks. The same is the case when there are cracks in the bowl, enabling contaminated water to escape. If you have leaks, you should get a replacement toilet as soon as possible. Fixing a wobbly toilet on the other hand might require some more work. Sometimes the problem might lie in the floor that it rests on, requiring you to remove your toilet and repair the subfloor underneath the toilet.
You should also pay attention to the tank on your toilet, since algae and mold could grow there. It is good to clean the tank out every now and then to keep those things from getting a foothold.
