How To Fix a Toilet That Won’t Flush

How to get a toilet to flush depends on the reason why it is broken, and there are several reasons why your toilet might be broken. Possible problems and fixes include:

  • The tank is too small. Many people try to save money and conserve water by making toilets with smaller tanks, but sometimes these get too small to work well. If this is your problem, you need to replace the toilet in order to get it to flush.
  • Your toilet can’t get enough water. If the incoming water lines are twisted or broken, your toilet can’t get the water it needs to flush. You’ll need to have these lines replaced in order to get everything flushing again.
  • Your jet hole is clogged. This is the small hole under the front rim of the toilet. Remove mineral deposits and anything else that is blocking it to get your toilet flushing well again.
  • Your septic system needs help. If you need a new drainfield or an outlet filter for your tank, your toilet will have problems flushing until these issues get taken care of.

How To Fix a Slow Flushing Toilet

Does your toilet flush but you have to hold down the handle for a long time to get it to do so? Or maybe it will flush eventually but it takes longer than you think it should.

Toilets usually flush slowly for the same reasons that they stop flushing at all. If your toilet is slow to flush, check on all of the issues mentioned above. Fixing them could help your toilet flush at normal speed once again.

We have been so pleased with lightfoot and their people. TRISTON WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE and very descriptive in his explanations to assist in understanding the issues. He discovered our problem was disruptive internet wifi for the unit smart system to communicate together with units. He was a pleasure to deal with. He is a keeper, don't lose this guy. We have service plan and love the support you provide. Thank you.. Lewis

JR is an excellent a/c repair guy. He was knowledgeable about the diagnostics of the a/c failure and came up with the repair needs quickly. He went out of his way to explain the situation and what was needed to repair the system. I would recommend JR to anyone needing a/c repair.

I called looking for a local company. They scheduled for the next day to look at it. Showed up on time. Very professional and knowledgeable. Started the work within the hour and worked until complete. About 8 hrs. I’m astonished at how much was done, how well it was done and completely satisfied with the work and the price. This is my new go-to company, whether it’s electrical, plumbing or anything else they handle. I would not hesitate to call Lightfoot Mechanical again. They are the best company I have dealt with since moving to Texas. Keep up the great work guys and thank you!
