Having a running toilet can be very annoying. When you see and experience one, all you want to do is that run on the hardware and buy all of the tools that you will be needing to make this running toilet stop. We at London plumbers will help you to fix this running toilet of yours in easy possible steps.
First, what you have to do is to check and remove the tank lid. Second, what you need to do is check the overflow valve. You have to check the overflow tube and if you can see that the water is going to overflow when the tank is full, by then you should know that the fill valve is already not shutting of all the way. So what you have to do by now is replace that one. Now third, check the flapper chain. It’s not easy to be a plumber, yeah? Spare a little time and patience for this because this troubleshooting will be finished even before you know it. If the overflow is not the problem after checking it, you might want to check the flapper chain right after. If the flapper chain is too long or maybe too short, then it could be the source of the trouble. If the chain is too short, the flapper can’t surely go down completely to seal the opening of the tank. Now if the chain that is too long could get caught under the flapper and hold it up, again preventing a good seal. After checking, you don’t have to worry because a simple adjustment will fix the problem. Lastly, you need to check the flapper seal. If the trouble is the flapper seal itself then that surely needs to be replaced.
Now that you have done checking everything and after becoming a plumber in your own home, you now know what to buy in the hardware and change the thing that needs to be replaced. Need to fix anything that has to do with plumbing services? We at London plumbing are ready to help you all the way!
