Why Do Toilets Run?

Toilets can run for various reasons, including:

• Flapper valves may be worn, cracked, or stuck open; this allows water to flow continuously into the bowl.
• Fill valves might not be working correctly. This can cause the tank to fill up too much or not enough.

The chain connecting the handle to the flapper valve may be too long, tangled, or broken. A faulty chain can compromise the seal.

How to Repair a Toilet

You may be able to fix a running toilet yourself with these DIY solutions:

Flapper Valve

• 
  Turn off the water supply.
• 
  Flush the toilet to release any remaining water.
• 
  Lift the tank lid and remove the old flapper valve.
• 
  Install the new valve (it should fit securely into the tank).
• 
  Replace the lid and turn on the water supply.

Fill Valve

• 
  Turn off the water supply.
• 
  Flush the toilet to release any remaining water.
• 
  Locate the fill valve (usually a tall plastic tube at the back of the tank).
• 
  Locate the small plastic float attached to the valve.
• 
  Adjust the float height by turning a screw or nut on the fill valve. (The float should rest about 1 inch below the top of the tank.)
• 
  Replace the tank and turn on the water supply.

Chain

• 
  Turn off the water supply.
• 
  Flush the toilet to release any remaining water.
• 
  Lift the tank lid and inspect the chain.
• 
  If the chain is too long, shorten it by removing links.
• 
  If the chain is broken or tangled, replace it with a new one.
• 
  Replace the tank lid and turn on the water supply.

When to Call a Professional Plumber

Here are some issues that require a professional plumber’s expertise:

• The toilet leaks around the base. You may have a cracked toilet bowl; there may be a leak in the wax ring.
