Your Toilet Is Not Flushing
Have you ever flushed your toilet and instead of the bowl emptying down the drain, it fills up with water? When this happens, most people close the lid and walk away frustrated. Ottawa Plumbing Service can diagnose the cause and have your toilet flushing properly again, usually within the hour.
Why Your Toilet Won't Flush
The most common reasons your toilet may fail to flush include:
- Malfunctioning flapper — the rubber seal that releases water from tank to bowl has failed
- Too little water in the tank — fill valve isn't filling the tank to the proper level
- Improperly installed toilet — drain line connection isn't correctly seated
- Presence of clogs in your toilet drain or further down the line
- Disconnected or loose handle, chain or lift arm preventing the flapper from opening
- Blocked jet rinse holes around the bowl rim restricting water flow
- Insufficient water pressure or supply line shut-off partially closed
Our Repair Services
Flapper & Chain Replacement
We replace worn flappers and adjust or replace the chain so the flush mechanism operates correctly.
Fill Valve Repair
We diagnose and repair or replace fill valves that aren't filling the tank to the right water level.
Handle & Lift Arm Adjustments
We fix loose handles, broken lift arms, and reconnect chains to restore proper flush action.
Drain Clearing
If the issue is a clog downstream of the toilet, we clear it with augers, snakes or hydro-jetting as needed.
