Why Wouldn’t My Toilet Flush in the First

WHY WOULDN’T MY TOILET
FLUSH IN THE FIRST GO?
BY

It’s extremely frustrating when the toilet
wouldn’t flush all the way. It uses up a lot of
water plus it gets a tedious task to make sure
the toilet bowl is clean. If you happen to have
a problematic toilet that wouldn’t flush in the
first go, may be its time to replace it. Although,
first you need to figure out what’s causing the
issue. There can be several reasons for it.
Check them out below:

A good possibility is that the toilet lift chain is
broken or stretched too much. lift the lid on
the back of your toilet seat to check. If there is
an issue with the chain, it won’t let the flapper
rise to the full level that allows water to fully
flush. Most plumbing service companies can
fix the chain effortlessly, so it’s best to get in
touch with your local plumber.
BROKEN LIFT CHAIN

The rubber flapper is at the bottom of the toilet
tank. The flapper raises to let water empty into
the bowl from the toilet tank. It goes back down
to hold the water in the tank. However, if the
flapper is worn out or old, it won’t go all the way
down, preventing the water to stay in the bowl.
This makes the water leak from the tank and
doesn’t leave enough water in the bowl which is
why you need to flush repeatedly. The best is to
call your local plumber to replace the flapper
with a new one as soon as possible to prevent
further water leakage.
A WORN FLAPPER

Sometimes, hard water buildup in the toilet
bowl can pull down the water flow in the tank.
The build of minerals like magnesium often
obstruct the flow of water to the tank. This
prevents full volume and pressure of the water
into the bowl from the tank and thus creates
flushing problems. To unclog the toilet from
buildup, you may need to insert a wire
manually. This can be tricky and its best not to
do it yourself but hire a professional plumber.
HARD WATER BUILDUP

It’s simple, if all others things are okay, but there is not
enough water in your tank, you won’t be able to flush the
toilet. There should be at least an inch of water above the
overflow tube. If your toilet has a float ball, raise the ball a
little so the water level goes up with it. This will enable you
to flush the toilet without a problem.
All these plumbing problems are real and extremely
annoying. While you may be frustrated and want to fix it
yourself, it’s best to get in touch with a plumbing service
company near you. A professional can do the job
efficiently, without breaking the parts in the tanks. Make
sure you hire a qualified and experienced plumber, you
wouldn’t want to handover the job to someone with poor
skills just because they offer cheap service. It’s good to
never compromise when it comes to plumbing!
