Running Toilet Repair in Corte Madera, CA
A toilet that runs between flushes can waste a couple hundred gallons a day, and most people only notice when the water bill jumps. A-1 Plumbing Services connects Corte Madera, CA homeowners with plumbers who fix the cause instead of jiggling the handle.
The usual suspects are few. A warped flapper lets water seep into the bowl, so the tank refills on its own every so often (the ghost flush). A fill valve set too high spills water down the overflow tube. A lift chain that is too short holds the flapper open a crack.
Here is a check you can do tonight. Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait 15 minutes without flushing. Color in the bowl means the flapper or the flush valve seat is leaking.
If the seat under the flapper is pitted, the plumber will tell you whether a seal kit or a full valve swap makes more sense.
