Why is my toilet running?

Understanding the Causes of a Running Toilet

Faulty Flapper Valve: The flapper valve can wear out or become misaligned, causing water to leak into the bowl.
Fill Valve Issues: A malfunctioning fill valve may not properly close, leading to continuous water flow.
Chain Problems: A chain that is too tight or too loose can prevent the flapper from sealing correctly.
Toilet Tank Cracks:Cracks in the tank can allow water to escape, resulting in constant refilling.
Water Level Adjustment:An incorrect water level in the tank can lead to overflow into the overflow tube.

Regular Maintenance: It is important to check your toilet often to help prevent minor issues from turning into major issues.
Educating Household Members:Informing others about proper toilet use will help avoid unnecessary wear and tear on your toilet and pocketbook.
