Is your toilet making strange noises?
Gurgling, whistling, or a persistent running sound? It might seem like a minor annoyance, but don’t ignore it! These sounds can indicate a serious problem that needs attention.
Here’s why you shouldn’t ignore those toilet noises:
- Clogged or Broken Flush Valve: A faulty flush valve can cause the toilet to run continuously or make gurgling noises, leading to water waste and higher utility bills.
- Leaking Fill Valve: A leaking fill valve can create a persistent running sound and waste water, eventually leading to a higher water bill.
- Worn-Out Flapper: A worn-out flapper may not seal properly, causing the toilet to run constantly.
What You Can Do:
- Check the Water Level: The water level in the tank should be just below the overflow tube. If it’s too high, the toilet may be running constantly.
- Inspect the Flapper: The flapper should seal tightly when the toilet is not flushing. If it’s worn or damaged, it needs to be replaced.
