General Plumbing in the Reading Area

If your toilet won’t flush and there’s no clog, the issue is usually in the tank or water supply. Try these quick checks before you call:

• Open the tank and ensure the chain is connected and has slight slack.
• Make sure the flapper lifts and seals.
• Confirm the shutoff valve is fully open.
• Raise the float so water reaches the fill line.
• Tighten a loose handle or replace a broken handle arm. If it still fails, Essig offers same-day service and a $39 dispatch to diagnose and fix.
