The Weekly Flush

Flushin’ Friday: Toilets Behaving Badly

From our newsletter archive. Promotions and giveaways in this issue have ended. Contact us for service.

Look, we all have bad days. But when your toilet starts gurgling, running non-stop, or making sounds like it’s auditioning for a horror movie, it’s officially “Too Much, Brenda.” This week we’re diving into toilets behaving badly… and how to keep yours from becoming the household diva.

Let’s get into it

Tip of the Week: The Phantom Flush

If your toilet flushes itself like it’s haunted:

  • It’s not ghosts. It’s probably a leaky flapper.

  • Open the tank. If the flapper is crusty or doesn’t seal, replace it.

  • While you’re in there, give everything a good scrub. It deserves it.

Bonus Tip: Don’t use drop-in tank tablets. They’re the glitter of plumbing. Looks nice, causes chaos.

Why One Call?

We know you’ve got options. But here’s why people in the valley keep choosing One Call Plumbing (and not just because our techs smell like lavender and competence):

  •  25 years of experience unclogging, un-dripping, and un-disastering homes.

  • We clean up after ourselves. Like, actually clean up.

  • Real humans answer the phone. Not chatbots pretending to “understand your concern.”

  • ⭐ Thousands of happy customers. And zero haunted toilets.*

Whether it’s a drippy faucet or a full-blown geyser, we’re the crew you call once  and only once  because we get it done right.

Maintenance Minute: Silent Leaks That Tank Your Water Bill

You could be losing 200+ gallons a day from a toilet leak and not even hear it. Here’s the test:

  • Put a few drops of food coloring in your tank.

  • Wait 15 minutes.

  • If the bowl changes color… congratulations, your toilet is a sneaky little water thief.

Pro move: Schedule a quick toilet tune-up with us. We’ll stop the leaks, tighten the bolts, and even admire your bathroom wallpaper.

Leaky Laugh of the Week:

Why did the toilet paper roll down the hill?

To get to the bottom.

Weird Thing We Found This Week:

One of our techs pulled a whole potato out of a toilet drain. Like, full Idaho spud.

Kid said: “I was making stew.”

We said: “We’re gonna need a bigger auger.”

“They were polite, confident and took time to explain the problem and what they were going to do. They had to dig in the grass, but were as least destructive as possible.”
