The purpose of the toilet flap in a Plumbing system is to control the flow of water from the toilet tank into the bowl, allowing for flushing and refilling of the bowl after use.

Why does the toilet not flush?

Assuming you have a regular tank toilet with a ball float and rubber flap and that the water is turned on and the tank is filling, the most common cause of a toilet not flushing is a broken or detached chain that runs from the handle lever to te rubber flap that keeps the water in the tank.

What is causing your toilet bowl to keep releasing slow water flow after or before flushing it and how can you fix it?

Take off the back of the toilet. Look down to the bottom and you'll see a flap that is raised when you flush it. That flap is leaking. IF the toilet is old I strongly recommend the Gerber viper toilet. Inexpensive and works great.ANS 2 - change the flapper valve - takes about 5 minutes and costs less than $5

What causes a toilet to keep running?

Toilets run because inside of the tank, there is a pipe which lets water go into the toilet bowl when it is flushed. Covering that pipe is normally a rubber flange that gets lifted up by a little chain when you flush. If that rubber flap doesn't go all the way back down and completely seal the pipe the toilet will keep running. So either the chain is keeping the flap from going all the way down or the flap is not making a complete seal. Easiest fix is put in a new one, costs like 10 dollars and the guys at home depot can show you on the model toilet there.


Why does your flap not drop after flushing the toilet?

1. there should be a weight/float connected to the underside of the flap inside the tank. these can come out occasionally and fall into the tank or the tank drain. look to see if the it has become detached, and if so, just reconnect it to the bottom of the flap. 2. if not, you may need to adjust the length of the chain connected to the flush lever. 3. if the flap closes but leaks, it can easily be replaced
