A Leaking Toilet
Toilet leaks when flushed? Toilet leaks can come from anywhere: the supply pipe, at the bottom or the seat of the bowl, inside the bowl, at the supply valve, and many other places inside the toilet.
A Clogged Toilet
You may also experience a sluggish or weak water discharge every time you flush the toilet bowl. The bowl could have a partial clog, or the clog could be somewhere downstream. You know your toilet is clogged when the water refills the bowl but the draining is very slow.
Toilet Tank Dripping And Constantly Filling
When you flush your toilet, the toilet tank will fill up with water automatically. But if you still hear a persistent dripping sound after the tank is full, there could be a leak somewhere along the line or the system. Tracing the root cause of this problem can be a bit complicated.
Toilet Tank Has Low Water Levels
After you flush, the toilet tank should fill up completely. But if you notice a considerably lower water level even after your tank is done filling, that means water is leaking out somewhere. One possible cause of this problem is a crack in the piping or the interior colon of the bowl.
Toilet Keeps Running After Flush
The toilet starts to constantly run without stopping. This problem is caused when the flapper valve in your toilet tank doesn't seal properly. Check inside your tank to make sure that nothing is preventing the valve from closing properly. Then, remove any mineral buildup that might be on the valve seat. A third checkpoint is to make sure the pull chain is the right length and is not holding the valve slightly open. Repairing a leaky toilet tank flush valve can be tricky, so give our professional team a call.
Toilet Overflowing
First shut off the water coming into the toilet. The shutoff valve is usually behind the toilet, close to the bottom of the tank. Remove the toilet tank lid and hold down the flapper to stop the flow of water. If this stops the overflowing, allow the toilet bowl to drain completely then release the flapper.
