What Can I Do When the Toilet Won’t Flush?

A toilet that doesn’t flush is one of life’s inconveniences. The panic and the stress you feel are palpable, leaving you to wonder what you can do to resolve the issue.

There are a variety of options you can try before you need to call in a professional plumber.

Why Doesn’t My Toilet Flush?

It could be due to any one of the following: The water shut-off valve isn’t completely turned on. Your lift chain is the wrong length. The water level in the tank is low.

The Toilet Won’t Flush Because of the Water Valve

The water shut-off valve is typically situated behind the toilet. It is just out of the wall and should be left fully open at all times.

Adjust the Length of Your Lift Chain

If the chain is too long, the slack can prevent the flush button from lifting the flapper. The result is a toilet that won’t flush.

Low Water Level in the Tank Stops the Toilet From Flushing

If it’s empty, then it could be because your water valve has been accidentally turned off.

A Faulty Flapper

The flapper creates a seal between the toilet bowl and the tank. When you flush the toilet, the flapper lifts, and water is released into the bowl.
