Common reasons for a toilet that won’t stop running include an old flapper that isn’t sealing properly, too much water in the tank overflowing into the bowl (this can be fixed by adjusting the height of the float), or an improperly positioned overflow tube or an overflow tube that is too long constantly pumping water into the bowl.

Water can sometimes leak from a toilet for a list of reasons, including an older or failing wax seal, a cracked tank, a sweaty bowl, a faulty shutoff valve or a loose supply tube. You can sometimes determine the location of the leak by cleaning up the water, and then waiting to see how the next pool forms and where the water is coming from. For help determining the exact cause of the leak and assistance when it’s time to fix the problem, give Lenox Plumbing a call.

Your toilet may be flushing slowly due to a clogged drain or drain buildup, not enough water in the tank, a worn or faulty flapper valve, or mineral buildup along the rim of the toilet that is blocking the toilet’s jet holes.

There are many reasons why people choose to replace their toilets, and most of them have to do with age. If your toilet is constantly clogging, you have to repair it more often than not, the flushing isn’t right, there are any cracks or visible damage, it’s wobbly, there is a lot of mineral buildup, or you just want something newer, more modern and more efficient, it may be time to install a new one.
