Toilet Trouble shoot
Toilet makes loud banging noise when being flush.
Air could be getting trap in the fill valve. Replace Fill valve
Washer could be loss at cut of under toilet. Replace or tighten washer.
Air chambers may be needed on water supply system to house. Call A Plumber.
Toilet will not fill up in tank
Some thing may be stuck in fill valve:
If possible clean fill Valve or replace fill valve.
You may have Old galvanized pipes:
Calcium build up may be stuck in cut off valve under toilet Call A plumber.
Toilet turns of and on by itself
Bad flapper or flush valve:
Replace flapper or flush Valve
Toilet will not stop running
Fill valve gone bad:
Replace fill valve
Flapper gone bad:
Replace flapper
Toilet handle stuck:
If needed oil handle of replace handle
Chain to flapper stuck:
Adjust chain or replace flapper
Water in the bowl is really low.
( This is not good because sewer gases can ASCAP and cause bad smell or make you sick)
Check to see if refill tube in tank is connected to flush box and water is coming out to refill bowl.
If not vented properly toilet can be siphon and suck water out of the bowl. This happen most when
One toilet is on the first floor and the toilet on the second floor is flush. The flush from the toilet on the
Second floor will come down past the toilet on the first floor and suck the bowl dry. Call a Plumber.
Toilet leaks around the bottom:
Loose toilet or wax ring gone bad:
Replace wax ring and tighten toilet bolts.
Toilet may have a small crack:
Drop some blue food die in tank and flush to locate leak
Tank may be leaking at connection between bowl and tank:
Replace tank to bowl gasket
Supply line at tank may be leaking:
Check supply lines.
Most mistake people make when checking out a leak at the bottom of tank. Is that they over look the simple first things and assume the worse. ( Blue food Die is your best friend, but will stain)
