It’s inevitable, but what you can do is take care of it in time before it grows into extensive repairs.

Here are some common WC problems you should know about:
- 1. Overflowing bowlA clog leads to the most common problem – an overflowing lavatory bowl. It happens if you forget to flush or if you had flushed wrong things like toys, plastic and sanitary napkins. The material ends up stuck in the pipe and it creates a block.
- 2. Clogged drainIf you notice that water doesn’t drain as quickly as it used to, it’s probably because of a blocked toilet drainpipe. Sometimes all it takes is a plunger to resolve the drain problem Toronto. However, if it doesn’t help, then it’s better to call your professional plumber.
- 3. Leaking valveLeaking valves not only lead to a puddle of water around your WC but also increases your monthly water bill. No matter if the leak’s inside the bowl or at the supply valve, it’s synonymous with your money flowing down the drain!
- 4. Handle not working properlyFlushing is difficult if the lavatory handle is loose and wiggling. The solution lies in tightening or replacing the handle. Though you can do it yourself? Professionals from Dima Plumbing do a better job!
- 6. Cracked or leaking baseCracked bowls or bases are especially common with old latrines. It leads to consequent water leakage, which can get from bad to worse if you aren’t careful. Imagine how much you will have to spend on WC repairs and cleaning up the leak if you wake up to a flooded bathroom floor!
- 7. Clogged rimClogged rim jets are usually the cause for toilet water running slowly. So make sure you have your plumber check and clean the rim jets if your latrine isn’t flushing correctly.
- 8. Damaged toilet flapperSometimes a warped or damaged rubber seal results in your toilet flapper not fully closing. It, in turn, means that the water keeps trying to fill to the tank’s designated water level. The sound of a continuously running WC is not only irritating; its related repairs and water loss are expensive.
- 9. Water tank doesn’t fill properlyThe water tank not correctly filling up or too high or low a bowl water level is another common problem. The lavatory thus ends up emitting a hissing sound or flushing on its own.
- 9. Water tank doesn’t fill properlyThe water tank not correctly filling up or too high or low a bowl water level is another common problem. The lavatory thus ends up emitting a hissing sound or flushing on its own.
Other common lavatory problems areÂ
- The WC getting covered in condensation
- The entire bathroom fills with sewer fumes smell
- Loud banging and pipe hammering noises when using the WC
Why Choose Us?
How you can handle toilet repair problems
There are a few things you can try out at WC repair before calling us.Â
- 1. Leaking toiletsWater pools under the WC may be because of a leaking water supply. In this case, you can try tightening the t-bolts. Any water around the base, especially after flushing, is usually because of a failed wax ring. You, however, have to call your 24 hour plumber to remove the wax ring.
- 2. WC not flushingThe most common reason for the flush not working is a clogged lavatory. And the most effective way of dealing with it is by plunging. You have to place the plunger in the WC bowl over the hole and gently push up and down. Repeat a few times and then flush again once water starts going down the drain. You can also try removing the clog with a coat hanger if you don’t have a plunger. Just straighten the hanger out as much as possible, and push and try to remove the block. Wrapping its end with a rag helps prevent any damage to the WC bowl. However, if this doesn’t work, call Dima Plumbing services for a professional latrine repair.
- 3. Toilet won’t stop running.It the lavatory won’t stop running, it’s probably due to the flapper valve. You can try replacing it yourself or call us to check if there is any debris in the valve assembly. It’s correct that toilet emergencies can happen anytime and without warning. You have to deal with it in the right manner. We know how important it is that your lavatory remains in good working condition all the time. We have a range of toilet repair services to take care of your WC repairs.
Possible reasons for clogged toilets
A clogged latrine is the most common toilet repair problem we face. It can create severe water damage to your home and is risky for your health too. And what’s more interesting is that there are so many reasons for a clogged WC.
Here is a list of the most common reasons:
- Old cast iron drainsMost Toronto residents’ drainage systems have exceeded its expected lifetime of metal drainage. So it’s not surprising that the chlorine, lime, and calcium in water remains inside the pipes with time. You also notice corrosion of the drain parts, and the drainpipe opening collecting rust. With the entire pipe filling and getting blocked with sediment and debris, the toilet starts leaking and reduces flush flow.
- Food flushed down the water bowlSome Toronto residents flush food down the toilet and suffer from a clogged WC as a consequence.
- ToysYes, you will be surprised at how many frustrated mothers call, complaining about a lavatory plugged with some toy or the other! What seems to be a game to toddlers, ends up a nightmare to them!
- Sanitary napkinsYou could say that this is the number one culprit for clogged toilets. The problem is most common in homes having basement bathrooms connected to sewage pumps. Cleaning drains plugged with tampons is rather expensive.
- Poor WC installationPoor toilet installation can also lead to clogging issues. There are many instances where the plumbing systems seem to work perfectly well for years. It’s once a section of the piping slopes the wrong way that the pipes end up clogged. This is when your drains need cleaning and perhaps a pipe correction.

Andrei Dima of Dima Plumbing is very professional, skillful, courteous, patient, and has the best customer service I have seen. He works wonderfully with his father, John Dima, in their trade business. Last Thursday night, I had a very stubborn kitchen sink clog, and Andrei came to the rescue just 4 hours after I called him on Friday morning. He was very honest about the work, and the phone estimate was very accurate. There was some complication with the clog, leading the snake to go up the vent rather than going down the pipe where the clog was. Andrei recognized the problem and patiently re-snaked the pipe to clear the clog. He explained what was going on every step of the way and shared his train of thought with me, which I appreciate. In addition, he was very careful and patient with my existing pipe when opening it up to avoid any cracks. He also helped me clear up my under-the-sink cabinet before his work and cleaned up any mess afterwards. I am very impressed. After the repair, Andrei showed me some tips on maintaining the kitchen sink to reduce the chances of it clogging up again in the future. I am very appreciative of his initiatives. What differentiates Andrei from others is that he is very professional, enthusiastic and takes pride in doing his job, in addition to his honest and friendly personality. I will definitely use him again if needed and highly recommend him to anyone in need of his service.

April 25, 2024We had a kitchen sink clog that caused flooding, and I found Dima Plumbing through HomeStar based on their excellent reviews. Andrey arrived promptly with great communication and updates before his visit. He worked diligently, using several different tools to address the issue. Andrey was a pleasure to work with, and he left the workspace spotless. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, professional plumber. His dedication to customer service is top-notch.

We noticed some water stains on our kitchen ceiling some time ago, and we contacted DIMA Plumbing for help. Andrei's response was prompt, and he arrived on time to assess the situation. He quickly identified the source of the leak, skillfully replaced the damaged section of the water pipe with a new part, and efficiently completed the repair job. He made sure that he cleaned up the work area properly before he left. All in all, we were pleased with Andrei's courtesy, responsiveness, and professional workmanship. Furthermore, the cost was very reasonable. Thank you for a job well done, Andrei!

July 22, 2025We were very happy with the service we got from John. He was prompt in his response and came to our home quickly. He was able to resolve our plumbing issue efficiently and at a fair price. He even gave us a few hacks on how we can keep our pipes running smoothly to avoid similar issues in the future. We would definitely use him again and recommend him to our friends and family.

July 11, 2022Needed to replace the Thermostatic valve in our shower. John Dima was on-time very professional and got to work right away. What I liked was how he worked; He put on shoe covers at the front door, was careful not to scratch or damage the shower, was constantly wiping down the surface to make sure it was clean and free of any debris. Awesome Job. I would recommend Dima Plumbing and will call upon him if we need future servicing.

We hired Dima Plumbing to replace our outdoor faucet since it was rusty and our old hose was corroded stuck on it. John came on time, was polite and personable, very efficient with the job, and offered helpful tips on what do with outdoor faucets during the winter. The highlight for me was watching John work. It was a quick and straightforward replacement (less than 30 mins) but you could see the years of knowledge and experience with how smoothly John replaced the old faucet, cleaned away the years of rust and corrosion, and attached the brand new bib. It was like watching those mastercraftsmen working effortlessly with their tools to scrape and sculpt something from nothing. Highly recommend John and Dima Plumbing!

January 11, 2022It was our first time with Dima Plumbing and we’re very happy with their work! Faucet shutoff valve was stuck and Andrei squeezed us into his schedule. He also repaired the sink drain, and explained everything patiently. Very courteous, quick response, quality work, and reasonable pricing. Will call them back for any other plumbing issues.

October 25, 2023My parents had a kitchen sink that was clogged. Turns out there was a clog at the main stack. Both John and Andre came by to fix the situation. John came by with a snake tool but because it was the main stack it wasn’t big enough, so Andre had to come with a bigger snake tool to eventually clear the clog. Highly recommend them as they answered promptly and were available the next day. They were very friendly and upfront with the costs and were very efficient. They saved our Easter LOL If it happens again we know who to call. Roy S.

April 25, 2024This afternoon, Andrei repaired a leaking toilet and installed a faucet and water filter in our kitchen. Due to the faucet we purchased, the job was a little more complicated than anticipated, but Andrei solved the issue no problem. As a family business, Dima Plumbing was a pleasure to work with: years of experience/expertise, courteous/respectful demeanour, and fair/reasonable pricing. We were thoroughly impressed and they will be our "go to" plumber for all our future needs. Thanks again Andrei!

October 25, 2023Andre was an absolute pleasure to work with! From my initial call, to the scheduling of the visit, to the onsite work itself, this guy handled everything like a true professional. He determined the problem was outside of my house and even helped guide me for next steps with the City! What a hero! Thanks again Andre, I'll definitely call and refer Dima next time I or anyone I know needs a hand!!

July 22, 2025The wall behind my toliet was making a loud noise whenever I flushed so I found John on the internet with good reviews. John answered his phone quickly and an appointment was scheduled for the next morning. John was very prompt and efficient and replaced the valve in my toilet in 30 mins. John is also pleasant and very professional to deal with.
