Friday Fix: The Running Toilet

This week's Friday Fix is courtesy of Nathaniel from Garber's Hardware and was originally printed in the Westview paper.

So, your toilet is running. It won't stop. You tried jiggling the handle. You tried asking your toilet nicely to behave. You tried to get your landlord to send a plumber. Each effort more futile then the last. It's time to take matters into your own hands.

Although this is usually a rather simple fix, it's a good idea to be familiar with the inner workings of your toilet. It's amazing how rarely we think about the way the things we use every day (and couldn't live without) work. So, lets get to know your toilet.

Adding a half-bath is almost always a great idea. Typically they are located in areas for convenience and are also chosen for high-traffic areas in your home. But as families grow and areas of your home evolve we encounter issues with installing half-baths because they weren't selected in original house plans and therefore plumbing and venting was not considered in the area where you most likely want to place them.
