The continual sound of running water after a toilet is flushed can be annoying. From thinking about the cost of the water that is being wasted to the little noise you can just barely hear in the background from the other room. We understand it is frustrating.
There are 3 main reasons why your toilet may keep running after you have flushed. We have included a diagram of common toilet part names for your reference below.
-
(Image source: the Home Depot) The rubber seal connected to the handle motion is no longer tight and functioning properly, allowing small trickles of water to pass.
- The water level in the back of the tank is too high, allowing water to run into the overflow tube.
- The fill valve is not shutting properly.
