Why does water run in the toilet bowl?
Water runs in the toilet bowl to maintain proper water levels and to flush waste down the drain when the toilet is flushed.
Why would a first floor toilet gurgle when a second floor toilet is flushed?
The water in the lower toilet is probably being siphoned out of the tank by the negative pressure caused by flushing the upper toilet. This CAN happen if the water level in the tank of the lower toilet is over the top of the ballcock. If this is the case, the tank water is being siphoned into your drinking water! Replace the ballcock with a Fluidmaster right away. If you have a small white fill valve that sits in the bottom of the tank, get rid of it. These are illegal and WILL siphon under these conditions. If the lower toilet runs AFTER the fill cycle of the upper toilet, it may be that the ballcock seals at a lower pressure, and the pressure spike when the upper toilet shuts off causes it to run a bit until the added water closes the valve a little tighter.
What did the toilet say to the other toilet?
You look a little flushed!! ha ha ha ha ha ha :):):):)
Can plumbing be added to a basement if rough-in is not added during initial construction and the water table sits only 1 foot below the slab?
Look for a special toilet that mounts directly to the floor and the water drains into a box mounted on the floor behind the toilet, under the tank. This box contains a pump that runs off electricity (plugs into standard outlet), and when the toilet is flushed, the waste goes into the box and is pumped up and out, joining at some later point with existing sewer drain lines. Thi was recently shown on an episode of "Ask The Old House." There may be more info on their website. It's called a "macerating toilet" and many times has inlets to ease the installation of a sink and/or shower as well.
Can a running toilet effect the hot water heater?
Usually not. If toilet has a mixing valve going to it so warm water fills toilet tank and toilet runs constantly, then enough warm water could leak out through toilet to possibly have an effect on water heater.
What is wrong if when running the washer and draining the upstairs bathtub at the same time water overflows in the washer drain so much that it runs all over the floor?
DRAIN LINE LEAVING YOUR HOME WHICH IS ALL WATER AND WASTE IS PLUGGED,,,,SIZE OF LINE PLUGGED IS HANDLING ON THING BEING DONE BUT NOT TWO OR MORE,,,,MORE WATER THAT IS BEING FLUSHED, TUB DRAINING OR TOILET FLUSHING AT SAME TIME MAKES WORSE,,,EXCESS WATER JUST BACKS UP AS IT CANNOT GO OUT THE PIPE...THERE ARE SOME DRAIN LINE PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE FLUSHED INTO TOILET TO UNPLUG LINE,,,OTHER THAN THAT WOULD NEED SOMEONE (PLUMBER WITH A ROTATING LINE THAT WILL GO DOWN THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF DRAIN LINE UNTIL IT CLEARS THE BLOCKAGE
Why do toilet bubbles appear when the shower runs?
Toilet bubbles appear when the shower runs because the water pressure in the plumbing system changes, causing air to be pushed through the pipes and create bubbles in the toilet bowl.
Have borough water copper lines recently installed an additional sink on the first floor now the second floor sink runs very slow Why?
possibly a valve was not opened fully or the copper became kinked or solder entered the piping or thew lines were not properly flushed out or the aerator is blocked or the tubing is way undersized
Why does a toilet run continuously?
A toilet runs continuously when there is a problem with the flapper valve or the fill valve in the tank, causing water to leak and the tank to constantly refill.
If a toilet runs how many gallons of water could possibly be wasted daily?
over 1,000 gallons
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.
Toilet runs randomly?
The flapper in the tank is not sealing completely and letting water seep into the bowl. Just replace it.
