That running toilet is driving you crazy! You can’t stand the noise, you can’t stand the high water bill and your wife has finally threatened to call in a plumber. OUCH!
That could be expensive!
You’re feeling rather confident so you take a trip to your local home center and pick up a brand new refill valve, flapper and tank handle.
You’re going to fix that stupid toilet once and for all and there’s no way you’re going to call a plumber to do it.
Hopefully, you’ve been watching some of my videos, and dive right in to replace all of the faulty parts and everything goes smoothly with no problems.
You flush it a few times to test it out, it fills up perfectly, it stops, job well done!
Your wife is so proud of you, you’re feeling like super plumber so you grab a beer and turn on the big screen TV to watch the game. Well, about 10 minutes later, your wife calls out “Honey, I still hear water running!”
So you go back to check it out, everything looks good, you flush it a few more times, it fills up, and it stops. She must be hearing things! Minutes later you hear this faint trickling going on in the bathroom so you run back go through the motions again and cannot see any problem.
Trickle, trickle, trickle, drip, drip, and drip. WHAT IS GOING ON?!
Well, if you’ve been checking out my videos, you already know what’s going on, but if you happened to miss this one, I suggest you check out “Why is my toilet still leaking.”
It’s a simple fix and one that most homeowners overlook. If you still have questions after checking it out, you can always reach me at info@bobsplumbingvideos.com.
Happy Plumbing!
