Ballcock or Float Valve inside toilet tanks
Inside of what most toilet tanks look like.
While most toilets are still gravity flush being installed some residential and commercial clients are switching to power flush. The main reason for the switch has to do with the newer toilets being 1.6 gallon flushes instead of the 3.6 gallons per flush. Back in the day before the 1.6 gallon flushing toilets were announced toilet didn’t clog up as much due to all the water pressure behind the flush. The reason for the switch was to save on water and money.
While gravity toilets are still the number one buy due to cost they still work fine if the user doesn’t abuse the situation. While you have a power flush toilet of gravity flush they still can both get clogged if the right amount of debris all goes down at the same time. The key to not having a clogged toilet is by knowing and understand how your particular toilet works. We suggest not using the thickest toilet paper in the new 1/6 gallon flushing toilets.
The power flushing toilet is like the Mercedes of the toilet industry. Though not many people know how to replace parts this toilet will treat you well and you’ll almost never have to worry about clogs. When parts malfunction and wear our a plumber will have to install new parts and maybe have to order a cartridge from out of town. Some supply houses carry them but being that each batch has a different model most need to be specially ordered.
When weighing the pros and cons one which toilet to buy the main factors are the following:
1. Cost
2. In case of malfunctioning toilet do you have a back up toilet
3. Cost
The main difference comes down to cost they are pricey, just starting installation for a power flush toilet is just under $525 (with toilet).
It only takes roughly $300 to install a normal gravity flushing toilet (with toilet). Our company has installed pricey gravity flushing toilets as well, with the unit just costing under $800.

Is your Kitchen Sink clogged?
Kitchen sinks need to always function. We use our kitchen sinks many times throughout the day. A kitchen sink is the main plumbing of the kitchen. Installing a good faucet is very important as well. If you plan on entertaining make sure your well equipped with the right tools. There are several different reasons a kitchen sink may get clogged. Plugged sinks can be caused by overloading of the garbage disposal or just accidentally having an object fall down into the drain. People say that using a garbage disposal is bad but I say just make sure you know how to properly use your disposal. My garbage disposal is my best friend. If your disposal is backing up often get a better and higher horse powered unit. If your kitchen sink has a lot of bends that could also be a factor as to why your drain backs up. Drain pipes that are galvanized should be replaced as well to pvc.
Willard’s Plumbing has several decades of practice working on kitchen sink drain and water lines so call us today for any kitchen problems.
Commercial Drain Cleaning
Our company provides reliable and trustworthy service to both commercial and residential clients. Time and time again I’ve seen companies take advantage of commercial properties. I don’t disagree that commercial drains and plumbing should be a bit higher but I’ve notice some companies charging an arm and leg higher. If a company charges $120 for a sewer line cleaning for the first hour the price for a commercial property should be $150 maximum for the first hour. If a company increases there rates over double (which some do) their taking peer advantage of a situation.
Our company is known for charging fair rates for plumbing & drain cleaning services to both commercial and residential clients. Our database of customer return rate is high and that makes our company feel good and accomplished. We treat each client with the respect they deserve.
If you have drains backing up or plumbing that you need repaired or installed call Willard’s Plumbing company.
Drains that you know get clogged every so often you should have addressed before an issue occurs. Waiting to clean a drain until it’s clogged is not the proper time to clean a drain. Roots and all sort of other debris will get hardened into your pipe.
Call Willard’s Plumbing today for all drain cleaning and plumbing issues.
