Common problems you will encounter with wall-hung toilets
Wall-hung toilets can be great for saving space in your bathroom, but just like any regular toilet, there are problems you may encounter when you have one installed in your home. In general, there are two common issues that you are likely to run into when choosing to install this type of toilet, and we will discuss them in this article.
Sometimes after installing the wall mounted toilet, it feels pretty bad when you sit on it. You may feel that it is wobbling or quite loose from the wall. This is a common problem that has a simple and easy solution. A toilet that isn’t flush against the wall will lead to other problems, so it’s crucial to get it fixed as soon as possible. This can be fixed by removing it from the wall and reinstalling it again. If you have enough DIY skills for this, you can do it yourself, but make sure you have an assistant help you with the installation to make sure the toilet can sit comfortably on the wall. But if you feel that your DIY skills are not enough, you should call an expert to do the installation for you. Doing so will ensure that your wall-hung toilet will be installed properly and securely.
When you try to flush the toilet and notice water leaking into the wall, you should fix it right away to avoid more serious problems later. This is the second most common problem regarding the use of wall-hung toilets. This happens when the plumbing is not properly connected to the toilet. This type of issue needs to be addressed quickly as it can lead to more water damage to the wall and you will end up with more damage to your bathroom which can translate into high repair costs. As soon as you notice the leak in the wall, turn off the water supply to the toilet and remove the toilet from the wall. You need to check your pipes and make sure they are okay, and then connect them correctly to your toilet.
If you have decided to go for a wall-mounted toilet, it is recommended that you have it installed by a professional the first time to ensure that it will securely attach to the wall using the appropriate mounting brackets.
