flush

A toilet that won’t flush can be a frustrating and inconvenient problem. There are a few simple things you can try to fix it yourself before calling a plumber.

First, check to make sure that the water supply to the toilet is turned on. If it is, then the next step is to check the flapper valve. The flapper valve is a rubber seal that sits at the bottom of the toilet tank. When you flush the toilet, the flapper valve lifts up to allow water to flow into the bowl. If the flapper valve is not sealing properly, then water will not be able to flow into the bowl and the toilet will not flush.

A toilet that won’t flush is a common household plumbing problem. It can be caused by a variety of issues, from a clogged drain to a faulty flapper valve. Fortunately, most toilet problems can be fixed with a few simple tools and a little bit of know-how.
