Handyman for Running toilet fix
Need a reasonable handyman to fix our running toilet. It's in a patio villa north of 466A.
Thanks |
You tube it. And you can probably fix it yourself. We had to fix ours it’s pretty easyLol I’ve never done it but my husband did.
|
Probably the gasket at the bottom of the flush canister. Gasket $7-$8. Check YouTube for install instructions. Easy.
|
Check the flapper first (very easy to change). But you can get a full replacement kit at Lowes or Home Depot that comes with instructions. All you need is a pair of pliers. The hard part is getting all the water out of the tank, but remember, IT'S CLEAN WATER, it's the same water coming out of your faucet.

A running toilet can be caused by one of two problems. Most likely, it is caused by a defective gasket or flapper at the bottom of the tank. These are easy to replace. Another possibility is that you have a leaking fill valve, which requires replacement of the plastic pipe and valve mechanism usually located on the left side of the tank. This is a more difficult repair, but it is still a relatively easy DIY project. If the toilet is running continually, you will be wasting a lot of water.
If you don't want to attempt a DIY, here are some handyman numbers: Harry Pollock, 734-621-1046 Joe Podraski, 814-660-3848 Or, you can call any plumber, such as Mike Scott, 866-314-4443. |
The tube that the water refill hose runs in, broke off at the base, so that needs to be replaced, I think the whole assembly needs to be replaced. I have very little in the way of tools, so I need a competent handyman.

I agree with above, however, there was one when I did ours, the small rubber gasket on the water supply line stuck on the toilet connection. I replaced all of the internals, and got a bath when I turned on the water, then I found the missing gasket......

I would be happy to help you resolve the issue. While I am not a licensed plumber, I do have over 16 years of owning a property maintenance company in NY and able to fix your toilet. |

Thanks, but me and my buddy were able to fix it easy. 15 minutes after a trip to Lowes.

Josh Poole can fix anything. He just replaced the pressure release valve yesterday for me (patio villa).
