What should I do if my toilet is not flushing properly?

If your toilet won’t flush properly, start with simple checks. A worn flapper, a corroded fill valve, or a clog are common causes. If the tank or bowl is cracked, replacement is usually best.

• Lift the tank lid and confirm the flapper seals and the chain isn’t tangled.
• Listen for continuous running, which points to a bad fill valve.
• Plunge with steady strokes for a basic clog.
• If you hear gurgling or see a supply-line leak, stop and call. We handle repairs and replacements in Noblesville.
