A running toilet is usually caused by a flapper, the rubber or plastic valve on the bottom of your tank, that fails to seal. Open the toilet tank and adjust the float arm to see if the water stops an inch below the overflow pipe. If the water doesn’t continue to fill, the flapper needs replaced.
Normal water pressure for a residential home should be between 30-60 psi. In the Vegas Valley Water District, pressures can range from 30-100 psi. Anything over 80 is considered high and could be causing damage to your plumbing system. For high pressure, we usually recommend a Pressure Reduction Valve (PRV). Anything under 30 is considered low and indicates a problem within your plumbing system, such as a leak.
There are several easy treatments that might eliminate your problem. One method is to pour a box of baking soda down the disposal while it is on and while the water is running. Another option is to use a cup of automatic dishwasher detergent (such as Cascade) in place of the baking soda. If neither of those helps, we will be happy to send a technician out to give you a free, no-obligation estimate.
It can be one of a number of problems. The most likely cause is a leaking water control diaphragm. But it can also be a faulty fill valve, a bad tank-to-bowl gasket, or loose or leaking seals on the tank mounting bolts. We will be happy to send out a technician for a free, no-obligation estimate.
Even if you do not see stuff going down the drain, there is still something going down the sink, whether it’s hair, scum soaps, toothpaste, and more. While many don’t think twice about letting toothpaste down the drain, it can inevitably cling to other items that go down the drain, which can then create a clog to drain the sink slowly or not at all. It’s always best to avoid allowing things, particularly hair, to go down the drain.
