Common Toilet Repairs by Component

Depending on the age, wear, and type of toilet you have you may have experienced any of the following repairs:

• Ballcock, Float, or Fill Tube: These can break due to corrosion and may become disconnected from one another.
• Flapper: The flapper can detach from its chain or become too soft so that it no longer seals the hole to stop water from draining into the bowl.
• Toilet Seat: The seat can become loose and even break off.
• Flush Passage: The flush passage may become clogged due to overuse, flushing incorrect items, or flushing too large of items.
• Toilet Lid: The lid can detach over time.
• Supply Valve: The valve can break down over time as water continues through it.
• Toilet Bowl: The bowl can become cracked and may start to leak.

Some of these repairs you may be able to fix on your own or troubleshoot, but when in doubt we recommend always contacting a plumber for any toilet repairs!
