The most common cause of a running toilet is a worn or misaligned flapper that doesn’t seal the tank. A too‑short or tangled chain and a sticking fill valve can also keep water flowing. Our Harrisburg plumbers repair or replace these parts as needed, offer full replacements when appropriate, and provide 24/7 emergency service with non‑commission, options‑first pricing.

Quick checks:

• Jiggle the handle; if it stops, the chain/flapper needs adjustment.
• Put dye in the tank; color in the bowl means a flapper leak.
• Verify water level isn’t spilling into the overflow tube.

A toilet leaking from the base when you flush usually means the seal at the floor has failed. Common causes include a worn wax ring, loose closet bolts, a damaged flange, or a cracked bowl. Stop using the fixture to avoid subfloor damage and schedule service.

Yes, many homeowners can replace a toilet fill valve with basic tools. Shut off the water first and confirm the shutoff works. If the valve won’t close, parts are corroded, or the toilet keeps running after replacement, schedule service.

Quick steps:

• Turn off supply. Drain the tank.
• Disconnect supply line. Swap in the new fill valve per kit instructions.
• Set the water level. Tighten hand-tight.
• Turn water on. Check for leaks.
