Toilet Running

So it sounds like your toilet is running? Check out what we have to say about your toilet and what to do!

1. Know your toilet. Mechanics vary, but they all work on the same principles. Flush a couple times while you watch in the tank with the tank lid off.

2. Catch it in the act. If you’ve waited long enough after flushing and the toilet hash’t stopped running. Lift the lid and look in.

3. Close the flapper. If the tank is not full and it is not filling, chances are that the flapper is stuck open.

4. Check if the ager in the tank is at the water line. Not having enough water in the tank can also make the toilet run.

5. Try adjusting the valve and float.

6. Clean or replace the flapper and/or valve.
