Why Won’t My Toilet Flush?

why won't my toilet flush

Is your toilet broken? If it won’t flush or it has problems when it flushes, don’t worry; our toilet experts have got you covered! Below, you’ll learn what you need to know to get your toilet working again soon.

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.

At Lightfoot, we are happy to help you get your toilet back to normal. All of our plumbers know how to fix a toilet that won’t flush or how to fix a slow flushing toilet and they’d love to help you get yours working again today!
