  1. Why Wouldn’t My Toilet Flush in the First Go? BY

  2. It’s extremely frustrating when the toilet wouldn’t flush all the way. It uses up a lot of water plus it gets a tedious task to make sure the toilet bowl is clean. If you happen to have a problematic toilet that wouldn’t flush in the first go, may be its time to replace it. Although, first you need to figure out what’s causing the issue. There can be several reasons for it. Check them out below:

  3. A good possibility is that the toilet lift chain is broken or stretched too much. lift the lid on the back of your toilet seat to check. If there is an issue with the chain, it won’t let the flapper rise to the full level that allows water to fully flush. Most plumbing service companies can fix the chain effortlessly, so it’s best to get in touch with your local plumber. Broken lift chain

  4. The rubber flapper is at the bottom of the toilet tank. The flapper raises to let water empty into the bowl from the toilet tank. It goes back down to hold the water in the tank. However, if the flapper is worn out or old, it won’t go all the way down, preventing the water to stay in the bowl. This makes the water leak from the tank and doesn’t leave enough water in the bowl which is why you need to flush repeatedly. The best is to call your local plumber to replace the flapper with a new one as soon as possible to prevent further water leakage. A Worn Flapper

  5. Sometimes, hard water buildup in the toilet bowl can pull down the water flow in the tank. The build of minerals like magnesium often obstruct the flow of water to the tank. This prevents full volume and pressure of the water into the bowl from the tank and thus creates flushing problems. To unclog the toilet from buildup, you may need to insert a wire manually. This can be tricky and its best not to do it yourself but hire a professional plumber. Hard water buildup

  6. It’s simple, if all others things are okay, but there is not enough water in your tank, you won’t be able to flush the toilet. There should be at least an inch of water above the overflow tube. If your toilet has a float ball, raise the ball a little so the water level goes up with it. This will enable you to flush the toilet without a problem. • All these plumbing problems are real and extremely annoying. While you may be frustrated and want to fix it yourself, it’s best to get in touch with a plumbing service company near you. A professional can do the job efficiently, without breaking the parts in the tanks. Make sure you hire a qualified and experienced plumber, you wouldn’t want to handover the job to someone with poor skills just because they offer cheap service. It’s good to never compromise when it comes to plumbing! Insufficient water level
