Fix Your Flapper

Not sure what the flapper is? It’s the specific piece that controls water flow both on and off anytime the toilet gets flushed. One possible issue is when the flapper gets stuck open. Another possible source of your difficulty is when a flapper gets cracked or has a broken seal. In any of these circumstances, water is going to keep flowing into your toilet bowl, even at times that it’s not supposed to do so.
