DIY Fixes for a Leaking Toilet
A leaking toilet can waste litres of water per day, leading to higher water bills and potential floor damage. Addressing leaks early prevents further complications and saves money.
🛠 1. Fixing a Running Toilet
A constantly running toilet means that water continues flowing into the bowl even after flushing. This is usually caused by a faulty flapper valve or misadjusted chain.
🔍 Signs of a Running Toilet:
✔ The toilet keeps making a hissing sound even after flushing.
✔ Water continues to trickle into the bowl.
✔ Your water bill is higher than usual.
🛠 How to Fix It:
1️⃣ Remove the tank lid and check the flapper valve—this rubber seal should close properly after each flush.
2️⃣ Inspect the flapper chain—if it’s tangled or too short, adjust or replace it to ensure the
flapper seals correctly.
3️⃣ If the flapper is worn out, replace it with a new rubber seal.
4️⃣ Test the flush to ensure the problem is resolved.
💡 Pro Tip: If replacing the flapper doesn’t work, you may need to replace the fill valve as well.
🌊 3. Fixing a Leak Between the Tank and Bowl
A leak between the tank and bowl is usually caused by worn-out washers or loose bolts.
🔍 Signs of a Tank-to-Bowl Leak:
✔ Water drips down the back of the toilet.
✔ The tank wobbles slightly when touched.
🛠 How to Fix It:
1️⃣ Turn off the water supply to the toilet and flush to drain the tank.
2️⃣ Check the tank bolts and tighten them evenly to prevent leaks.
3️⃣Replace worn-out rubber washers before reassembling.
🚨 If tightening the bolts doesn’t work, call a professional plumber for an inspection.

🔧 2. Baking Soda & Vinegar Method
A natural solution for dissolving minor clogs without harsh chemicals.
🛠 How to Use This Method:
1️⃣ Pour 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl.
2️⃣ Add 2 cups of white vinegar—the mixture will start fizzing.
3️⃣ Let it sit for 30 minutes, then flush with hot water.
🚨 If the clog persists, avoid using chemical drain cleaners and call a plumber instead.
🛠 3. Using a Drain Snake (Plumber’s Auger)
For tougher blockages, a plumber’s auger can reach deep into pipes.
🛠 How to Use a Drain Snake:
1️⃣ Insert the auger into the drain and rotate it slowly.
2️⃣ Once resistance is felt, pull out the obstruction.
3️⃣ Flush the toilet to clear any remaining debris.
🚨 If you frequently need a drain snake, your plumbing system may have a deeper issue requiring professional attention.
