Toilet Tank Repair
WARNING: Should you wish to perform your own
plumbing maintenance using the information we provide on this
website, please be advised that AOS Plumbing cannot be
held responsible for any work not performed by our own
licensed master plumber. Failure to contract any plumbing
work to a licensed master plumber could result in serious bodily
injury or death.
Leaks at the Toilet Tank Flushing Valves are
caused by the following problems:
A worn out or defective tank-ball disk or whatever part
is attached to the lever and acting as a plug in the bottom of
the tank
A damaged flush valve seat...the rim of the large hole in the bottom of the tank
is rough or pitted
A split or hole in the overflow pipe
A damaged gasket under the flush valve
The wrong type of flush valve is being used. For example, some Kohler toilets
require a particular seal - the one-size-fits-all type usually will not
work
The strap is too long and getting stuck under the ball
A piece of foreign material such as a bowl cleaner is stuck under the ball
