Tacoma's Toilet Repair Specialists!
Did
you know that as much as 80,000 gallons of water can be wasted
each year by an undetected toilet tank leak? It makes economic
and environmental sense to occasionally check the toilets around
your home. The top three reasons for a leaky toilet are:
Parts installed over five years?
Prolonged exposure to bleach in-tank cleaners?
Visible rust or warping?
Rooter-Man can help you fix your toilet, or even
replace it if needed. We will even haul off your old toilet,
after installation.

A Short History of The Toilet
Toilets are an essential part of our everyday
lives. We tend to take the toilet very much for granted and not
really like to think about it too much until we find that we
desperately need a toilet and none can be found. We forget that
modern toilets are a luxury in a lot of under developed
countries and find it a huge inconvenience if our toilet doesn’t
work.
Toilets that we are used to using are a relatively recent
invention, and used to be only affordable by the very wealthy.
Even now the evolution of the toilet is still in progress with
technological advances including automatic flushing controlled
by sensors and economy settings to allow less water to be used
when the toilet fills up. The issue of hygiene is a constant one
and, along with all the different types of toilet cleaners and
fragranced deodorizers there are even public toilets that clean
themselves after each visit.
The prevalence of indoor
plumbing has been the main factor in the availability of
toilets inside our homes. It is this plumbing that ensures the
toilet keeps functioning correctly and we don’t have to do
anything more than pull the chain or press the handle. Before
this all toilets were separate from the main house in small
outhouses. The water supply that these outhouses were connected
to was totally detached from the ones used inside the house.
Toilets in outhouses began in a very basic fashion, a hole in
the ground. Then seats were fashioned from planks of wood with
openings in them to enable a person to dispose of their toilet
waste while sitting rather than squatting. These primitive
toilet facilities were then enclosed to provide a little privacy
for the occupants. Wealthy house owners could use chamber pots
in the privacy and comfort of their own bedrooms, or bed
chambers. These were usually made from ceramic and were emptied
by servants. As these pots became a more accepted method of
going to the toilet there were fewer places to empty them,
especially in towns and cities, and people would throw the
contents out of their windows onto the streets.
Thankfully we have progressed a long way since the days if
having to dodge the contents of someone’s toilet being thrown
over our heads as we walked along the street.
