A running toilet is often caused by internal component malfunctions. For instance, the flapper—the rubber seal that controls water flow between the tank and bowl—might be worn out or improperly aligned, allowing water to leak. Another possible cause is the float mechanism being incorrectly adjusted, which leads to overfilling and constant water flow into the overflow tube.

To address this issue, inspect the toilet’s tank components to identify visible signs of wear or misalignment. The flapper can often be replaced with a simple kit from a hardware store, while the float mechanism may require adjustment to lower the water level in the tank. If you’re unable to resolve the issue or suspect more complex problems, such as a faulty fill valve, it’s best to call a professional plumber to prevent water waste and ensure a proper fix.

When your hot water system stops working, the underlying problem can vary depending on the type of system you have. For electric systems, common issues include a tripped circuit breaker, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a failed heating element. In gas systems, the pilot light might have gone out, or there could be a problem with the thermocouple or gas supply. Solar systems can be affected by weather conditions, damaged panels, or pump failures, while heat pumps may struggle in colder weather or suffer from refrigerant leaks or mechanical issues.

To troubleshoot, start by checking for obvious signs, such as whether the pilot light is out on a gas system or if the circuit breaker has tripped on an electric model. Resetting these can sometimes resolve the issue. If the problem persists, it’s best to contact a professional plumber who can accurately diagnose and repair the problem. Attempting to fix complex issues yourself can lead to safety risks or further damage.
