Toilet Repair
Running Toilets
A running toilet can waste significant amounts of water, leading to higher utility bills and unnecessary water consumption. Ottawa Plumbing Service offers expert running toilet repair to quickly identify the cause and stop the running, saving you both water and money.
Common Causes of a Running Toilet
Sometimes you can fix this yourself if you can figure out the cause. A toilet will run uncontrollably due to any combination of the following:
- Wrongly positioned float height — the float is set too high, causing constant overflow into the overflow tube
- A leaking flapper that won't seal the flush valve seat
- Problematic refill tube — the tube is positioned to keep water running into the overflow
- Worn or warped flapper rubber that no longer sits flush against the valve
- Malfunctioning fill valve continuously letting water into the tank
- Cracked or corroded flush valve seat
- Improperly sized or damaged float ball or float cup
Our Running Toilet Repair Services
Flapper Valve Replacement
A worn or damaged flapper valve is the most common cause of a running toilet. We replace it with a properly-sized OEM-quality flapper.
Fill Valve Repair & Adjustment
A malfunctioning or improperly adjusted fill valve can keep water flowing. We repair or replace as needed and reset the float height.
Float Adjustment
We re-set the float to the manufacturer's water-line so the tank stops filling at the right level.
Refill Tube Re-routing
If the refill tube is mis-positioned, we re-clip it above the overflow tube to stop continuous water flow.
