my toliet keeps running, how do I stop it?

Question

toliet parts

Answer 1

Use your brain. Take the lid off and look inside. Flush it and figure out how everything works. You might see the chain is too tight or the stopper is old and decayed or the toilet was built when Moses was a corporal and the insides all need replacing.
Learn the way of the wrench and the screwdriver. Only then will you achieve true independence.

Answer 2

there's a black ball at the end of the float arm, unscrew it little by little until it's light enough for the water to stop overflowing into the pipe. Also, turn down the water on the main valve to keep it from filling so fast.

Answer 3

what is probably happening is at the bottom of the inside of your tank there is a hole covered by a black peice of rubber.when you flush the arm pulls that peice of rubber up and allows fresh water to run in the bowl then the rubber falls back down over the hole and allows the tank to refill.the rubber is not working properlly.you can keep putting the rubber over the hole yourself to save on your water bill but will eventually have to be replaced.

Answer 4

It might be the float,, Or if the Chan gets caught under the flap
Not a big job

Answer 5

Try bending the float arm up a little. It's not rising enough to shut off the water flow.

Answer 6

Make sure the chain (in the tank) is still attached to the arm.

Answer 7

try shaking the handle or adjusting the arm inside

Answer 8

Is your toilet wanted by the Law ???? If you can't catch up to it, I'd suggest a 12 guage shotgun and it'll never run again !!!!

Answer 10
