The lifespan of a toilet can vary depending on the materials it is made out of and how well it is maintained. However, on average, a toilet can last for about 50 years.

If you are wondering when to replace your toilet, the answer may depend on a few factors.

First, consider how old your toilet is. If it is more than 20 years old, it may be time for an upgrade.

Second, think about how often you use your toilet. If you have a family of four and everyone uses the toilet several times a day, then you may need to replace it more frequently than someone who lives alone and only uses it once per day.

Third, take into account any recent repairs or replacements you have made to your toilet. If you have had to make major repairs or replace important parts, such as the flushing mechanism, then it may be time for a new one.

If you are concerned that your toilet may be leaking from underneath, there are a few things you can do to check.

First, take a look at the base of the toilet and see if there are any wet spots or water damage. If you see any signs of leakage, it is important to contact a professional plumber right away.

Another way to tell if your toilet is leaking is to remove the lid of the tank and inspect the inside. If you see water dripping from any of the pipes or components, that is an indication that there is a problem. Again, it is best to call a professional plumber to have the issue resolved.

It is likely that the issue is with the flapper valve. When you turn off the water to the toilet, the flapper valve should close and stop the flow of water into the bowl. If it does not close properly, or if it becomes loose and does not seal properly, water will continue to flow into the bowl and down the drain.

One way to check if this is your problem is to lift up on the flapper valve while the toilet tank is filling up with water. If it stops filling when you do this, then you know that the flapper valve is not sealing properly. You can usually solve this by replacing the flapper valve with a new one.

There could be a few reasons why your toilet is randomly running. It could be that the flapper valve needs to be replaced, or that the water level in the tank is too high and needs to be adjusted. If you are not comfortable adjusting the water level yourself, you can always call a professional to do it for you.

Another possibility is that there is something blocking the flow of water into the toilet bowl, such as a piece of paper or a wad of tissue. If this is the case, you can try plunging the toilet to dislodge whatever is blocking it.
