Your toilet is probably used a lot throughout the day. You might lose count of how many times you go in there, and in a large family that gets multiplied many times over. If your toilet were to break down, it would probably be a small disaster. While most toilets aren’t very complicated, there are things that can break, such as the lever and flushing mechanism, but there are some issues that are more serious than others. For example, if there is a crack in the bowl or tank, you should get your toilet replaced as soon as possible, since it could have a disastrous effect. The contaminated water that your toilet contains could cause all kinds of problems if it were to leak out.

Your toilet also should be firmly attached and not rock back and forth when you sit on it. If it does, you might need to have a professional take a look at it, since a toilet that moves can lead to leaking.
