What should I do if my toilet is not flushing properly?

If your toilet isn’t flushing properly, try a few quick checks, then schedule service. We repair poor flushing, running, leaks, clogs, and unusual noises.

• Make sure the handle lifts the chain and flapper fully.
• Check that the tank water level is at the fill line.
• Brush the rim weep holes to restore bowl rinse.
• Use a plunger for minor clogs; don’t keep flushing.

Our licensed plumbers inspect the fill valve, flapper, handle, weep holes, and gaskets, then repair or recommend replacement. 24/7 emergency service is available in Roanoke and nearby.
