Going to the toilet should be one of the most straightforward things we do every day. When the toilet won’t flush it can be stressful but before you call out a same day plumber for a toilet flush repair there are some relatively simple reasons to spot the problem and fix it.
Repairing A Clogged Toilet
This could be due to unsuitable items being flushed or too much toilet paper. Whatever it is, instead of calling out a plumber to fix the toilet use a toilet auger or plunger to push the waste through. Also consider using thinner toilet paper to prevent the issue reoccurring.
Low Water Level In The Water Tank
Occasionally there is no water source and your water tank will either have low water levels or no water at all. Check the water valves to investigate whether they are turned off or if there’s a leak.
Warped Or Bent Flapper
Unfortunately, the rubber flapper can fail over time. Instead of considering a repair, go for a good value replacement or maybe two to ensure you have a spare.
Stuck Lifting Chain
Too much slack can mean that the lifting chain is stuck making it very hard for it to raise the flapper and nearly impossible to get the right strength. Adjust the chain length to make it shorter to allow water to flow properly.
If the problem does persist then contact an emergency plumber at Plumbers in London.
