Green hued bathroom Call us today at 860-887-0447

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
