Toilets
Toilets play a critical role in maintaining a functional home, and their condition can impact water usage, hygiene, and even the structure of the home if issues like leaks or poor seals are present.
Optimal
The toilet flushes efficiently and uses water appropriately, with no leaks or signs of wear. Seals around the base and tank are intact, and the toilet sits securely on the floor without wobbling. The fill valve and flapper operate correctly, and the tank refills quickly without running. Regular maintenance keeps the toilet in excellent condition.
Cautionary
The toilet flushes but may require multiple flushes, and minor leaks are present around the base or tank. Water efficiency may be slightly reduced due to outdated components. The base seal or bolts show minor wear, and the fill valve or flapper occasionally allows water to run. These issues should be addressed to prevent further problems.
Hazardous / Out of Range
The toilet has significant issues such as constant leaks, malfunctioning flush mechanisms, or damaged seals. These issues lead to water waste, potential damage to the floor or structure, and make the toilet difficult to use. Immediate repairs or replacement are required to restore functionality and prevent further damage
