Fixing a Running Toilet - Fill Valve Repair Specialists

A running toilet is one of those things that isn't just a nuisance - it's a massive waste of water & a real drain on your wallet. Our toilet repair service is all about fixing this kind of problem, making sure your loo runs quietly & efficiently and doesn't constantly run out of water.

Now we all know that a running toilet can be due to a few different things - a faulty flapper, a miscalibrated fill valve, or a malfunctioning flush valve. Our service fixes these problems by identifying the root cause of the leak and making the necessary repairs, whether that means replacing a toilet flapper or parts inside the toilet tank.

We bring all the necessary tools & parts so that we can fix your most common toilet problems in no time.

Our toilet repair service covers every part of the toilet tank, ensuring all internal components are working as they should. For instance, if the water level in the toilet tank is too high and keeps flowing into the overflow tube, we will adjust the toilet float or fill valve to get it sorted. If the toilet is constantly running and sending water into the toilet bowl, we will track down the problem, often by replacing the toilet seals in the flush valve, to ensure a tight & reliable seal. We help you save money & water with our expert repairs.

Replacing a Toilet Flapper & Chain Adjustment

The toilet flapper is by far the most common cause of a running toilet, as the rubber can wear out, crack, or lose its flexibility, allowing the toilet to slowly leak into the bowl.

1. Flapper Diagnosis & Removal: We first turn off the water supply at the shut-off valve and flush the loo to empty the tank. We check the flapper for any signs of tears, hardening, or leaks. We disconnect the chain from the flush valve and gently pull the flapper off the overflow tube or side posts.

2. Flapper Installation: We install a brand new toilet flapper onto the flush valve seat, making sure it's got a perfect seal, and then attach the chain from the toilet handle to the flapper, leaving just a small bit of slack - usually one link. It's got to be the right length so the flapper lifts & drops properly to seal off the flush valve opening.

3. Flapper Maintenance Tips: We tell our customers that soaking a slightly stiff flapper in hot water for 10 minutes might soften the rubber up a bit, but for a reliable fix, replacing the flapper is the way to go. This simple replacement job usually fixes the running toilet straight away.

We make sure the flapper is working correctly to stop the constant leak that keeps the water running.

Getting Your Fill Valve Right & Water Level Control

The fill valve is what controls the flow of water into the toilet tank after a flush and sets the water level. If it fails to shut off, you may need to check the adjustment screw, and the tank will keep filling, spilling the water over into the overflow tube.

• Fill Valve Adjustment: If the water level is too high, we adjust the toilet float (that ball float or float cup thing) downward. We might need to turn the screw or loosen a clip & slide the float cup down the fill valve stem. This is the easiest way to sort an overflowing toilet.

• Fill Valve Replacement: If the fill valve unit is broken or keeps sending a slow flow of water into the tank even when the float is down, we perform a complete fill valve repair by replacing the entire unit. We unscrew the lock nut underneath the toilet tank, disconnect the supply line and remove the old valve. We then install a brand-new one, screw the nut back on, and reattach the supply line.

• Refill Tube Position: We make sure the refill tube (that small flexible tube from the fill valve) is correctly placed in the overflow tube so it can refill the toilet bowl once the tank has refilled. This small detail makes sure the loo works properly and keeps the bowl sealed.

This complete fill valve repair fixes the leak and prevents overflow by keeping the water level just right.

Comprehensive Toilet Tank Mechanism Repair

Our minor plumbing work addresses every component of the toilet tank to ensure it's all working as it should, and there are no unusual leaks.

1. Handle Flush Replacement: A broken toilet handle or chain can prevent the flapper from sealing properly or cause it to lift slightly, resulting in a small leak. Our handle flush replacement service includes replacing the toilet handle assembly & chain. We make sure the new handle is securely connected and that the chain is the correct length.

2. Bolts & Seal Leaks: Water can leak from the tank at the points where the tank bolts connect the toilet tank to the toilet bowl or where the water supply line connects to the fill valve. We tighten the bolts connecting the tank to the bowl and replace the seals or gaskets if they're the source of the leak. We also tightened the supply line nut & all is good.

3. Flush Valve Repair: There's a good chance the flush valve itself is the culprit for those nasty leaks - cracked or failing seals will need the attention of a flush valve repair or replacement to keep your water tank secure. This particular fix can be a bit more involved than replacing the fill valve, but it's a necessary step when dealing with severe leaks.

We handle all necessary repairs so you can be sure your toilet runs as efficiently as possible.

Step-by-Step Repair Process

We take a very straightforward approach to toilet repair - we follow a professional step-by-step method to get the job done right on the internal tank mechanisms.

1. Shutoff and Access: First, we shut off the water supply and perform a quick flush to empty the tank. Next, we pop the lid off to get a good look at the tank mechanisms and thoroughly inspect all the valves, flapper, and seals.

2. Diagnose and Fix: If we find the fill valve is the culprit, we'll loosen and adjust the float to lower the water level a bit. If the flapper is the problem, we just swap it out for a new one and adjust the chain connected to the toilet handle.

3. Fill Valve Replacement (If Needed): If the valve is broken, we disconnect the supply line, remove the old fill valve by unscrewing the nut under the tank, and replace it with a new one. We secure it, reconnect the supply line, and we're good to go.

4. Final Test and Adjust: We turn the water supply back on and do a test flush to make sure everything is working just right - that the fill valve is filling the tank without leaks or overflows, and that the lid is securely back in place.
