How to Fix a Running Toilet
That little sound of water running in your toilet may not seem like a big deal. Your water bill may disagree.
A running toilet can quietly waste water 24 hours a day. In many cases, the culprit is something as simple as a worn flapper — a relatively inexpensive part and a quick repair for a plumber.
The important thing is don't ignore it. You may spend more paying for all that wasted water than you would have spent calling a plumber to fix the toilet in the first place.
Of course, YouTube has changed the plumbing business a little.
Before calling us, there's a pretty good chance you're going to search "How do I fix a running toilet?" and watch somebody change a flapper from the comfort of your bathroom.
And you know what?
Give it a shot.
If YouTube gets you through it, you saved yourself a service call.
If you end up standing in the bathroom holding a flapper, a pair of pliers and three parts you're pretty sure weren't there when you started...
Now call the plumber.
