Nothing's more frustrated than a toilet that won't flush. When this happens, don't panic.
Instead, take a look at these reasons why your toilet won't flush. Let's get into it!
Chain Length
The chain connected to the flapper is either too short or too long. If it's too long, the flapper can't lift up properly.
If it's too short, the flapper may not be able to close properly, causing your toilet to run constantly. This can be fixed on your own, however, as most chains are adjustable.
Clogged
When a toilet is clogged, the first thing you do is try to unclog it. If it's not working by you manually plumbing it, it's time to contact the professionals.
They'll be able to do a full inspection and a cleaning of the sewage pipes to ensure your toilet goes back to normal.
Damaged Flapper
The flapper is what controls the water flow. When you release the handle, the flapper opens, causing the toilet to flush.
When it's damaged or warped, it can't drain the water properly. To see if it's in some way damaged, open the tank. You'll be able to see from there if it is in some way warped.
