One cause for a running toilet is that the refill tube continuously pumps water into the bowl. This happens when the tube is too long. It isn’t positioned correctly in the overflow tube. To shorten a refill tube, pull the tube out of the overflow. Hold it just above the opening of the overflow. Trim it off there. Clip it to the side of the overflow tube to keep it in place.
The leak is typically from the seal under the toilet failing. Wait until a new puddle appears on the floor. Check to make sure the water is seeping out from under the toilet. Make sure it is not leaking from a loose supply tube, faulty shutoff valve, cracked tank, or sweaty bowl.
Check For Condensation. Tighten the Tee Bolts. Disconnect and Remove the Toilet. Remove the Wax Ring, and Install a New One. Reinstall the Toilet. Connect the Water Line. If you fail to fix it, call R&R Murrieta Plumber to fix your toilet keeps running.
Dual-Flush toilets have two buttons built into the cover of the water reserve. One is used to flush solid waste and the other to flush liquid waste. The biggest advantage of dual flush toilets is that they save around 67 percent of water used compared to regular toilets. The solid waste button uses 1.6 gallons to flush. The liquid waste uses 0.8 gallons or half the amount of water.
Sound of running water when the toilet is not in use Water pooling around the base of the toilet Persistent dampness on the floor
