Instead of spending a ton of money to have a plumber come out and fix your toilet, learn how to do it yourself. The handy step-by-step articles listed below will teach you how to fix a running toilet, unclog your toilet, repair a poorly flushing toilet, quiet a noisy toilet, and replace, repair or fix any toilet part that may be causing your toilet to not function correctly.

The following toilet problems can be easily fixed by the homeowner with minimal cost.

Toilet Running Constantly 
This is likely to be due to a defect in the operation of the toilet tank. Remove the lid of the tank and flush the toilet to try to identify toilet problems.

The following defects can cause toilet problems:

• Is the water level too high? If so, it may be running into the overflow pipe. Simply remove some water from the tank and the toilet should stop running.
• Is the lift chain connected to the handle? If it has become disconnected, then the flush ball or flap may not be functioning properly when the user operates the flush handle.
• Is there a hole in float? If so, the refill valve will not be operating properly as the valve will not be “telling” the system that the tank has already reached the required level.
• Has the flapper perished? These seal the tank from the bowl while the flush is not in operation. Once the flapper has perished, toilet problems are inevitable as the tank constantly empties itself into the bowl.
  

  Wet Bathroom Floor

   
  Check the tank bolts and connections to the water tank. If they have become loose, there may be a leak caused by a faulty seal or loose connection. Fortunately, this is one of the easiest toilet problems to solve. In rare cases there may be a crack in the bowl. This is one of the most serious toilet problems, as the bowl will need to be replaced completely.

  Clogged toilet

   
  Toilet problems can be caused by overuse of toilet paper or objects dropped down the toilet by a small child. For a small clog, using a plunger may clear the blockage. However, for more substantial clogged toilet problems, an auger will be necessary. This is an unpleasant task, so encourage your family to be stingy with toilet paper to avoid toilet problems!
