Topic :Toilet Troubles
I have toilet problems with every toilet in the house. Although I believe
they are minor, here they are:
Toilet #1: I continuously hear water running.
Toilet #2: I have to hold the handle to flush it.
Toilet #3: It overflows after I flush it . (This occurs on every 3-4
flushes). |
Toilet #1 and #2 need new flapper valves in them. It's the black thing attached to the handle inside the tank. Simply turn the water off, flush the toilet to remove the water in the tank, and remove the flappers. Replace them with the same kind as are there. Should cost you about $9 for both toilets...very simple repair.
Toilet #3 has another problem. It has a clog somewhere. Since you said it happens after a number of flushes, the clog is probably way down the pipes somewhere. I would recommend calling a plumber like Roto-Rooter for that one. Do not even bother trying drain cleaner or a plunger...they won't work. |
