We all know the dreaded feeling... the water is going to high and not flushing properly.  Panic sets that a large mess is going to be on your bathroom floor.  What do you do?

• Shut off the Water Supply
  • This will prevent more water coming in
• Remove the Tank Lid
  • Carefully set it aside to avoid breakage
• Adjust the Flapper
  • The rubber flapper is at the bottom of the tank.  Press down on the flapper valve to secure it.  This will prevent more water from entering the bowl
• Lift the Float
  • Raise the tank fill valve float ball.  The water in the bowl should start going down
• Shut off the Toilet Supply Valve
  • If the water level is still high, hold up the float as you shut off the water supply at the toilet valve.
• Use a Plunger
  • Use a plunger to break up clogs in the drain
