Something terrible happened at home - the toilet broke. And what is the best way to proceed in this case: call a team of plumbers or take on the repair yourself? Here everything depends on the nature of the malfunction. Let's look at the most popular breakdowns and at the same time find out how to fix them. Problem #1: Water constantly flows into the toilet Water is constantly running in the toilet, but you don’t drain it? This means that the fill or drain valve is out of order. To find the “culprit”, follow these steps.   Problem #2. Water on the floor   Don't panic! Check the toilet for mechanical damage: chips and cracks. If there are none, then there can be only two reasons for the malfunction:   1. Poor fastening of the tank to the toilet bowl. Carefully and gradually tighten the bolts. If there is no result, replace the fastening at the junction.   2. Wear of the rubber ring between the drain tank and the toilet bowl. To overcome this malfunction, remove the tank and replace the seal on the drain channel.     Problem #3: The toilet tank fills slowly with water   But the reasons why water flows slowly or does not flow into the tank at all can be completely different:   1. Clogging of pipes and the area where the hose and tank are connected In this case, professionals suggest the following course of action:   turn off the water supply and remove the hose; check the water supply (to do this, lower the hose into a bucket under the pressure of the turned-on water); if everything goes well, then look for a blockage at the junction of the drain device and the hose; take a long, rigid wire and check this area; While cleaning, open the valve slightly to drain any remaining debris. Advice:  often problems with drainage are caused by debris under the bulb or in the toilet tank. If you can’t remove the debris yourself, you can use special chemicals.      2. Mechanical damage to the water supply pipe, wear of the product components Disconnect the hose and assess its condition. If the hose is damaged, replace it by selecting the correct size and diameter. make sure the components are intact, check the sealing of the main units, the condition of the twisted elements, the depreciation of the main parts. After diagnostics, follow the rule: replace broken and worn parts; loosen excessive tightening; renew the sealing .     3. Incorrect position or displacement of the float adjust the float according to the instructions or set it to its previous position.     4. Defective fittings (fill or drain valve) in this case, the parts must be replaced .     Tip:  Don't forget about the importance of sealants and gaskets. Sometimes, replacing a rubber gasket is enough to fix the problem.    To troubleshoot, you may need the following tools and materials: adjustable wrench, pliers, flat-head screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, rubber seals, silicone sealant, rag.
