People immediately know there is an issue when it doesn’t flush when it comes to the toilet. We at The Original 49.95 Plumber
would like to share the most common issues and what you can do to fix, though there are quite a few reasons that can be causing it.

Toilet Clogs

Clogs are still the most common though this is the most obvious. Only flushing waste or toilet paper is critical. You will instantly create clogs if you treat your toilet like a garbage dumpster. When it won’t flush, the first thing you should do is try plunging a toilet. Make certain you are using a flange plunger since the cup will help you create a better seal in the toilet bowl. Should plunging prove to be ineffective, consider investing in drain cleaning services. Professionals can clear out a clog a plunger can’t.

Warped or Broken Toilet Flapper

The toilet’s flapper opens and closes whenever you flush, which allows water to run from the tank into the bowl. When you depress your toilet’s handle, you are actually lifting the flapper. Over time the flapper can bend, or warp when flapper itself is in contact with moving water all the time. A rubber, cup-like fixture located at the bottom of the toilet tank is the flapper, and you can open the back tank of your toilet and examine it. Covered by the flapper is the hole that leads from the tank to the bowl. You should tell easily if the flapper is too warped to properly cover the flush tube hole. If it looks warped, broken, or damaged in any way, you will need to replace the flapper. At any hardware, home improvement, or some department stores is where flappers can be found. Connect the new flapper after you begin by draining, toilet tank, remove the chain from the warped flapper. Most plumbers can help get the right flapper and get it installed for you if you need to.

Long Toilet Chain Length

Connected to the chain is the flapper to the toilet handle. When you depress the handle, the chain yanks up the flapper and initiates the toilet’s flush. It will not be capable of yanking up the flapper if in the event the toilet chain be too long. If the flapper doesn’t rise the toilet doesn’t flush. The flapper won’t close properly if the chain’s too short, however. When the flapper doesn’t close, the toilet never stops running. You can fix chain problems relatively easily by adjusting the chain’s length. Be certain you do not overextend the direction for the fix while making the adjustments and check the chain and assess if it is too long or short.

Bad Toilet Overflow Tube

The tank is the toilet’s overflow tube, and it is next to the refill tube. Overflow tubes help empty water directly into the bowl during a flush. These tubes are not infallible, unfortunately. The toilet’s constant pressing can easily crack as well as the damage occurs. Instead of past it if the tube does crack, water will run into it. Replace the overflow tube to restore the performance.
