Fix a Toilet That Keeps Running

[@vulgaritar48]

This video is almost seven years old now but it's still saving people time and money. God bless you and the good work you do, sir. Cheers!

[@Queen_Melanin]

I JUST fixed my running toilet. The commode was a 2018 install, so it had the knob adjustment for the water level built in. A simple few twist to the level, negative (-) to reduce the water level and "WALA". Magic. No more running toilet and no money spent.💪🏾 Thank you for this amazingly handle and to the point video. I'm a DIY girl and this did the trick.

[@brittahubbard]

Thank you for explaining all Three ways that could be the problem. Every other video I found only spoke of the flush valve, but it was our fill valve that was bad. Adjust the float didn't work, but your video put us on the right track to investigate further. My 14 year old son and I watched your video, discussed what we thought was wrong, investigated, discovered it was the valve and not just the float, watched more videos, bought parts, and fixed it today! It was a good project for us to do together. Thank you.

[@BroccoliFiles]

The only toilet repair video I've ever understood. You laid out the tools, you described what everything does, and you explained WHY water is running. For most videos, you practically already need to be a union plumber to understand everything. Thanks!

[@marilyngardner]

Wow you just helped me stop a running toilet that has been running for a few years now. I got tired of cleaning the rust stains and decided to fix it myself. Thanks so much❣

[@HomeRepairTutor]

+Marilyn Gardner outstanding!! Great job 👍

[@GiovaniB52]

Home Repair Tutor. I just changed my flapper in the toilet tank but there still is a subtle loss of water . I lost an inch and 1/4 of water since yesterday . Is there any irregularities on the grove where the flapper meets the escape hole perhaps ?? If so how can I fix it ?

[@JasonWindsor88]

I watched many vids & tried several methods to fix my intermittently leaking toilet... thanks to this video for pointing out the (now obvious) fact that the water needs to below the overfill drain pipe. Easy fix, thanks!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

awesome, great job figuring it!!

[@nkennett]

thanks so much. i had to tighten the screw as well. i didnt let my wife know i watched this so i look like a real man now. lol

It's always important to keep it real. 😂 Also we know men don't need directions either. 😁

[@MalikButler]

Thanks for posting this!! Just spent $20 on a toilet repair kit for a leak and thought I muffed something up royally. Thankfully I found my chain is too long so wrapping it around a few times completely resolved the problem!! You're the man!!

[@nikkimountain3100]

Water running for a week driving me nuts. All I had to do was tighten the screw on the floaty ball, and fixed in 2 seconds! Thank you!

[@brosialane]

Why yes, it is 1 in the morning and your video just fixed my toilet. I won't say how many years I've had this toilet that kept refilling the tank. I asked my dad to fix it and he didn't know what to do. Thank you!!!!!

[@NRB3]

Thank you so much! I’m in a college apartment and nobody has come to fix the SUPER ANNOYING running toilet for a little over a week. I decided to look this up, tried the 3rd step (the easiest one lol) and now it’s fixed! I swear I’ll still hear a constant ringing noise for a little while though.. but anyways, thanks for your help. You just saved my roommate and my sanity 😂

[@Chrisjonpage]

Water level in my tank was too high, tightened the screw for the float arm, stopped running immediately. Saved me a trip to Lowe's Thank You!!

[@smsea33]

Thank you!!!!!!!!! Just had to tighten a screw!!!!! It's been running water for weeks and now it's fixed!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@HomeRepairTutor]

+smsea33 awesome, great job fixing it 💪

[@kitkatpattywhack]

Yes Thank you! We had to tighten that screw and get a new flapper! Our's was so eroded... eck! It looked fossilized! LOL

[@eltiburonjar8]

My wife kept on saying that the toilet was running. I didn't pay attention until I got my water bill this month and noticed my bill had doubled!!!! Decided to KZbin it and you have saved me a trip to the hardware store and frustration. Saw your video and checked my toilet and it turns out the floater was too high and just like you said it in the video, the water water overfloating at the overfloat tube. Adjusted the height and flushed the toilet and voila!!!! Thank you so much for your video.

[@EM-fg3hm]

You were the only video I found that showed a demo with an old floater...which is helpful because my toilet is from the 60's man! Just came back from fixing the leak and finally a nice quiet toilet ! Thanks a lot! one less thing to do on my 'To Do' list!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Sweet, great work and happy to hear it was a success 👍🏻

[@kayzbluegenes]

Thank you so much! Easy fix ~ no landlord, no plumber expense! You are the best!

Thank you. We have 4 of my child's friends over for a sleepover and our one toilet decided to not stop flowing. You save me major stress and bucks. All I had to do was loosen the chain... I have no idea how it got tight.... thank you!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

high pressure with 4 kids, glad to hear all is well

[@lupitaarce3540]

Single mom watching this because she has a leaking toilet 😀 thank you so much

[@ImNotAWitchImYourWIFI]

Overflow tube. I checked the plastic ring seal three times to see if it wasn't stuck. Come to find out it was the overflow tube. I wouldn't have even know to check! You're amazing! Thank you!!

[@swatts328]

Thank you! Finally a quiet toilet!

[@mstenderonie]

Dude, this video was so helpful. My toilet was driving me nuts and the maintenance man where I live is useless. God Bless You!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

glad to hear you didn’t wait!! And you fixed it...maybe send them a bill

[@oyejaiyeola6958]

After watching video, stopped my toilet leak in 5 seconds. Thank you.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

oye jaiyeola sweet, great job :D

[@Only60GamesPlayed]

After watching your video, I was able to fix it! A rubber at the bottom of the siphon came off which caused it to run! I found it at the bottom of the tank and simply put it back on and it worked! It saved me $500 bucks!

[@mariomazyck2934]

A worn out 3.00 dollar toilet flapper cost me 200 bucks on my water bill

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Youch! Totally stinks, did you fix it?

[@mariomazyck2934]

Home Repair Tutor yes I did it was a silent leak with tank lid on but you could hear it once tank lid was taken off leaking flapper was using 40 gallons an hour I realized there was a problem when I got water bill watched your video an fixed her good as new

[@HomeRepairTutor]

That’s painful, sorry you had to pay so much. Crazy how a cheap flapper solves an expensive problem

[@givethem_chell]

Oh my gosh really?

[@dorothymatthews6690]

Thanks Jeff. I am going to try this because my water bill has doubled the past 3 months.

[@twentyoneplusvideo0472]

My toilet has been running for a year, finally decided to make a real attempt to fix it, tightened the float ball screw in about 5 seconds, problem solved. THANKS!!!!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Awesome!! Great job, it's a huge relief to fix any toilet

[@twentyoneplusvideo0472]

+Jeff Patterson Imagine how useful I look in my wife's eyes after finally fixing this. Thanks again!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

hope she appreciates your efforts

[@A.C.71]

good example of procrastination. many thing we are either to lazy to try to fix or afraid..but if a man/woman made it a man/women can fix it :)

[@johnm.evangelis693]

Thank you Jeff I fixed my toilet tank that was leaking like a sieve by cleaning the intake pipe and putting a new flapper, the chain gave me a hard time but in the end John da Greek prevailed. Thanks again!!! Great video.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

+John M. Evangelis great job, glad it helped!!

[@mattgoldman3182]

Thanks for the tips. You taught me that our water level was too high in our toilet. Didn’t know the water level had to be 1/2 to 1 inch from the top of the over flow. Thanks again.

[@Ms.De-Lite]

Thanks so much!! I was able to stop my toliet from running by simply adjusting the screw.

[@Chance.942]

Ur the best u covered almost every kind of toilet which help me find the problem of my leaky toilet...fixed it in three minutes saved me money and time and gain some knowledge in the process....thanks bud...keep it up helping people

[@HomeRepairTutor]

+chance awesome, glad it helped. Working on a new tutorial today 👍

[@islandgirl97]

Thank you for this video! I have never fixed anything on the toilet so the inside of the tank looked foreign to me. But this video was easy to follow and it drilled down to what I need to fix- the float. After a few turns to the left, I was able to catch my running toilet lol

[@lawrencedlyma2610]

Glad you did the narration nice and slow without your repair instincts rushing to repair the toilet before the instructions were given - Thank you

[@rahulargula117]

This was such a well made tutorial. The flapper was the problem and it was exactly what you mentioned - the flapper rim was bent/developed an indentation. This saved me a ton of money and time. The leak from my toilet flush is finally fixed.Thanks a lot!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Fantastic Rahul Argula!! Great job figuring out the problem and fixing it. It's amazing how the sometimes the problem can be as simple as the flapper. Keep up the good work :D

[@ginateutsch435]

Thank you for this video. My issue was with the screw as well. Your video was the easiest to understand and follow for the fix.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Thank you Gina :)

[@jcmlchuy]

[@chisexton5845]

My issue was my overflow valve was cracked. I got a replacement and will swap out the old. Thank you for such a clear and helpful video!

[@marycahill546]

Thank you! My float was borderline, needed a minor adjustment.

[@charm3583]

Thank you so much! The running water has been driving me crazy for weeks! I just fixed two toilets and probably will check on another one to fix.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Awesome Char!! Great job

[@larry45044]

i told my wife i had to get parts but really went to the bar for a couple- then came home and watched this and fixed it lol shes happy im happy win win ! lol

[@ciriacovasquez840]

larry45044 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good Idea! LOL!

[@ThePreetyuvi]

This is what I needed, I have tried buying so many things but the water was still running and the cause was I didn't snip the extra chain attached to the flapper. Thanks for uploading

[@LandonGAnderson]

Holy crap thank you I am a sixteen-year-old and I didn't want to tell my dad that the toilet kept running

[@jjohnj9580]

Great video! My rubber stopper wore out so my toilet was running. I accidently loosened the floater while replacing the rubber stopper so it ran. Your video helped me fix and it's running good now.

[@kissmyaxe74]

I know this video is old, but I had the problem of the water level too high. All I needed was a screwdriver, and less than 5 min later it was fixed, and has not randomly started running since. Thanks so much for the straightforward, easy advice!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

that’s awesome!!! Great job 🔥🔥🔥

[@flowerlady1976]

Thanks so much your a lifesaver!!! I lowered the float in the tank with a screwdriver and the water immediately stopped flowing!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Awesome!! Great job

[@Ventiblonde]

This helped! My dad fixed the chain on the toilet today and made it too long and it was getting caught in the flapper! I had no idea that was even a problem that could be had. Was able to fix my problem before the end of the video! Thank you!

[@s.kilhullen6826]

This just saved me a call to my landlord, thank you so much!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

+Stephanie Kilhullen awesome!!! Great job :D

[@russianhotty88]

Thank you so much for these tips. The noise of the water running was so annoying I couldn't take it anymore. Finally I decided to do something about it. I found your video and it was life saving. Great video!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Great job Veronika Khramova!!! My pleasure to help any time :D

[@kateauger-campbell2622]

Hi Jeff! Thank you so much for this video, I think you've saved me a ton in lost water costs! The only question I have is this: I have a diaphragm fill valve and wanted to adjust the arm but it doesn't have screws to adjust the arm- what's that about? I twisted it in the tank as much as I could and I think that stopped the problem (for now) but don't quite know how I could adjust it otherwise. Any tips are welcomed! Thanks again!

[@angelareed225]

Thank you so much for this detailed video! We had a leak inspector take the toilet apart today and leave without re-calibrating the float or turning the water back on, and I was so worried the bathroom would flood because when I turned the water back on myself the water just kept filling the tank! I'm relieved it was so easy to address and very grateful I didn't have to call the landlord and the plumber back just for this. I realize this is an old video and you may not still be looking at the notifications but truly this was so helpful! You saved a millennial's life today lol

[@ms.coleman4535]

@Angela Reed What did you do? I am sure I am not going to get a response to this old video. This is giving me a serious headache

[@KiowaPilotWife]

Got tired of my toilet and a friend suggested I replace the ball but u said to tighten the screw or something and I did and it stop running thank u!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

sweet, great job

[@MrJojocommi]

+KiowaPilotWife did the same thing and problem fixed thanks

[@randydemeno2829]

Thank you! Been trying to figure out how stop two "running" toilets for a couple of months. Watched this video - fixed them in less than 60 seconds each. Great job on what you made a simplistic video.

[@lhimelligot465]

This was very helpful. You saved me a lot of money. I spent $6.54 and less than ten minutes to fix my toilet. Thank you!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Awesome, thanks for sharing and great work

[@gammondog]

The last suggestion was not necessarily the last resort. You can pull off the cap on the valve and then remove the top of the valve by turning it counterclockwise and lifting it to expose the rubber diaphragm. Pop that off and hold a cup upside down over the top of that valve. Turn on the water so that it shoots up and into the cup,instead of the ceiling, to clean out the debris. Turn the water back off and after wiping out the debris from the diaphragm reinstall everything. If the diaphragm is worn out then you will have to replace it or install a new flush valve. It is always good to have a spare flush valve on hand for emergencies. It's also a good idea to not attempt plumbing repairs on a weekend or on holidays because if you break something, you want to be able to get a real plumber as soon as possible. We've learned that lesson the hard way.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Thanks William Albert for the great tips. And I agree with the holiday suggestion, not a great time to be fiddling with plumbing repairs!

[@JoLoretta727]

Golly, I had done this once about 35 years ago so knew I could do it but could not think of how! Yours was the first video I looked at and it sure worked for me, thank you! You explained things very well and simply enough most people could understand it! Gosh, living in a 100-year-old cabin I could give you a list of topics you could cover! Thanks, be blessed!

[@ashc.9056]

I just want to say thank you for this video.. I had watched a few videos on how to stop the water filling the bowl, it just would fill and make a sound as if it was flushing yet still filling up with water, the valve is clean the water is at level, and I turned the screw to lower the float and it stopped, it stopped before when I just ran the water to clean the valve and kept filling up so hopefully it will stop,but thank you

[@HomeRepairTutor]

thanks so much, hope the tips help...if not, just let me know and maybe we can figure it out together.

[@ashc.9056]

Jeff Patterson thank you very much, you're very sweet, and know what you're talking about lol I have been at work all night and my wife said there is no problem. so thank you again for your help.😆😆😊😊

[@HomeRepairTutor]

well thanks again and happy to help any time :)

[@ashc.9056]

Jeff Patterson hello Jeff! I hope you're doing well, I just want to let you know that our toilet is still wanting to fill the bowl, whilst the tank is at max level, it's like it just runs through a tube with a hole in it, it's only been a couple days that it has been running again since a week ago, I adjusted the float again to very very low....

[@VanessaOoms]

Thank you!! It was the float height for me. I'd just put in a new toilet a month ago and was worried that maybe I had a defective one. You are awesome!

[@ss1872]

Fixed my running toilet with a few twists on the float. Saved me from calling someone out!! Thank you.

[@chengduFTW]

love to see such a simple video that covers a wide range of topics! I've now referenced this video twice!!

[@andrewwarren8119]

I've been having this problem for a while and didn't know what to do, so I just kept turning the valve on and off to prevent the water from running and to flush it. But it was a super easy fix. Just took a Phillips screwdriver and lowered the floater. Took less than 60 seconds. Thank you for this.

[@gamerageyt1818]

I am 11 and I thought I broke our toilet but when I looked inside the tank the chain was stuck on the overflow tube thing and I just pulled it out and walla it got fixed

[@HomeRepairTutor]

+GameRageYT well awesome job fixing it!! Make sure you tell your parents there's no charge this time but your billable rate is $50 per fix 👍

[@skittlesyt4823]

Wow I’m 11 too and for some reason I’m too scared to do that cause I think I would break it

Great work!!

[@stephanierodriguez7539]

I feel so empowered after fixing my toilet. You are the best! Thank you!

[@Ecco_The_Dolphin]

Thanks man, when i would flush the water would rise. Thanks to your video i immediately knew the problem, it was the overflow pipe. But there wasnt a screw like the one you had. It was on top the floater, a long plastic like screw, turned it down, flushed, fixed

[@BasicUnderscore]

Good tutorial. Help me fix my toilet

[@HomeRepairTutor]

+genie mabilangan sweet, glad it helped

[@davidhenriquez9562]

+Jeff Patterson I used to pay 100 dollars on water every four.now I pay 500.I notice the toilet water stays running inside the toilet.I know this has to be the cause.do you think there is a possibility that the flapper is already in bad shape?I really don't want my next bill to be 800

[@heatherscott9665]

Great info! I've watched probably a dozen videos on this searching for answers and yours is the only one that goes through the entire troubleshooting process. I've flushed the fill valve several times and adjusted the water level and the float just doesn't rise most of the time.. Looks like I have a faulty unit that needs replacing.

[@dennisoconnor5907]

Just moved into a new construction house and the toilet started running after the first flush. This video saved me a big headache!

[@loriw2661]

Thank you! I needed to lower the float. Saved me from getting a plumber out here!! Btw, I’m a single 59 year old woman and I’ve saved so much money searching U-Tube for answers. This week I also put new trailering mirrors on my F150 myself because of a video.

[@mrscat8879]

Thank u so much I was able to fix my toilet myself😊👍

[@texiediamond4693]

Same here 😁

[@kirnpu]

YES. I stopped turning when I heard the screw clicking because I thought I'd break it. Just carried on and it's all better. Can't thank you enough.

[@utkarsh60660]

thank you. you saved me a ton of $$$. I had the issue of water going into overflow tube and i kept thinking its just taking forever to fill due to slow flow of water overall but when it ran for like an hour today i had to look into it and found the issue after watching your video.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Excellent!

[@EnzoFuturistic]

My toilet keeps running and oh god I am going to go nuts. I'm going to watch this video til I can fix my toilet with my eyes closed.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

I bet you can fix it EnzoFuturistic - start by making sure the water level is 1 inch below the overflow valve. Adjust your fill valve float to do this. If that doesn't work then see if your flapper needs to be replaced. You can then replace the fill valve if the toilet continues to run. It costs about $10.

[@EnzoFuturistic]

Thanks, I keep putting it off. Will tackle it this weekend.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Keep me posted EnzoFuturistic

[@WilliamJPrah]

The older I get, the more I learn about toilets and problems than can come up. I only ever had a problem that wasn't mentioned in your tutorial. That was a leaking seal between the tank and bowl! It's rare, but it can happen. A good symptom of that one is the commode that just runs for like a split second, you hear the water come on and kick off so quickly, that you might not even be sure that you heard anything at all. That's a larger repair job, you have to drain and remove the tank, reinstall a new seal, and usually new tank bolts too. The old rusted ones might be a bugger to get off, but I enjoyed your tutorial for a quick refresh on the many problems that I've encountered over the years.

[@edawriter]

I had the same problem. After installing a new fill valve and flapper, there was nothing left. It was not a hard fix, just a hassle figuring it out and buying the parts.

[@sirduffner827]

Nobody ever talks about the dangling pull chain..... I'm happy you did!!! That was my problem

[@lillyxania]

Very helpful...2am in the morning and I'm watching your video because our toilet is dripping so loud. Tightened the screw and BAM problem fixed. Thank you very helpful and informative 😊

[@nynikki06]

Thank you so much. Your DIY was perfect for me. I was paying like $200 in water bills because of it. Now it has stop.

[@unclefreddieDied]

great video.... I've done this before but just wanted a refresher. thanks to you, I looked first to make sure the chain wasn't under the flapper and it was! I'm sure I would've figured it out but probably not till after I bought a new flush valve and wasted a lot of time! thanks again! took 2mins

[@HomeRepairTutor]

good job investigating!! Nice to hear you had a positive result

[@marys9798]

What a great video- everything was explained in an easy to understand fashion. I actually was able to diagnose the problem with my toilet and replaced the flapper with no problem. Thank you so much!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

thanks, glad the video helped. Toilets aren't that bad to fix, sometimes it's a small adjustment. Way to go!!

[@believeinheroes]

I have the cylindrical float like you showed, except instead of a screw it was a pinch clamp. Toilet was running due to water level being too high. Video is explained well for someone who has never tinkered with a toilet before. Thank you for posting, a picture (or a video!) is worth a thousand words, and this made for an easy fix.

[@ani8367]

Thank you for this video! You saved me from having to buy new parts, and now my toilet isn't running anymore!

[@michaellentz9630]

Thanks man, super easy fix. Chain was under the flapper. You saved me 30 bucks

[@bizziebone05]

[@ApplesofGoldcrft]

Thanks for the video Jeff. My son has a toilet that keeps running in the toilet bowl. I tried changing the flapper but it still done the same thing. I did not think about the flapper valve having a crack in it. This video helped me a lot. Thanks again Jeff and have a Blessed Day.
