What should I do if the toilet tank is leaking?

Leaking water in the toilet tank is an annoying problem that not only wastes water but can also cause sanitation problems. Here are a few ways to fix the water leak problem:

1.Adjust the water valve: The first thing you need to do is check if the water valve is loose. The water valve is a key device to adjust the size and pressure of the water flow. If the water valve is loose, you can tighten it with a wrench to make it stable. So as to solve the problem of water tank leakage.

2.Replace the gasket: Check if there is a problem with the gasket inside the tank, if you find that the gasket in the tank is worn or damaged, you need to replace it with a new one.

First you need to close the inlet valve, then open the tank lid, remove the residue of the old gasket, and install the new gasket on the bolts at the bottom of the tank.

3.Adjust the water level: At the bottom of the water tank, there is a device to adjust the water level, you need to open the lid of the water tank, find the adjustment device and then adjust the water level height.

If the water level is too high, it will lead to overflow; If the water level is too low, then the tank will not be able to fill with water, which will also lead to the problem of the toilet not flushing.

4.Replace the water tank: If the toilet tank is very old or damaged, then it may need to be replaced with a new one.

Depending on the model and size of the toilet, you can buy a tank of the same model online, and then check if it is the same as the old tank before installing it. To replace it, you need to close the inlet valve, disconnect the water pipes, and then remove the old tank and install a new one.

When dealing with a leaking toilet tank, care needs to be taken and the right approach is followed to ensure that changing the tank or other equipment does not cause other problems. It is best to have a professional repairman handle it.

Cause of toilet leakage: This is due to cracking and leakage at the interface between the toilet inlet and the sewer pipe. There are three situations in which a small amount of water leakage can occur:

1. The rubber ball valve is broken, the seal is not tight, and there is water leakage, as long as it is replaced. 2. The rubber gasket of the drain port under the ball valve is aging and the sealing is not tight, so it needs to be replaced. 3. The connection between the spherical float of the water tank and the water inlet switch is loose, the float is in place and the switch is not closed, resulting in the water inlet does not stop, and the water flows out from the upright discharge pipe after the water is full, as long as the connection between the float and the water valve switch is tightened.

Toilet leakage repair method: 1. First use a knife to cut the glass glue at the joint between the toilet bowl and the floor tile, and then unscrew the bolts that fix the toilet. 2. Lift the toilet a little, don't pull or push the toilet in place, it will be more troublesome to break the sewer pipe.

3. Then check whether the sewer pipe is cracked, and then connect a section of PVC pipe with the same thickness, stick it to death with PVC glue, put the toilet on it and try it, the length may not be suitable, and then use the saw blade to see until the toilet can be placed stable, and the floor tile is close to the principle. 4. Test the water, no water leakage, glue the base and floor tiles with glass glue, and tighten the screws to fix the toilet. Take over the toilet bowl within three days, don't shake it back and forth, and wait for the glass glue to dry and you'll be fine.

If you don't want to change the toilet, you can sell the floating thing for a set and replace it, dozens of dollars.
