on a plumbing repair.
The flapper or the fill valve usually is the cause of the problem.
Shut off the water supply to the toilet before inspecting the flapper for any issues. The flapper acts as a circular rubber seal that prevents water from draining out into the toilet bowl from the tank. The most frequent reasons for a toilet to run is a problem of the flapper. For cracks and nicks look at the flapper, its rim, as well as the flush valve.
The screw which adjusts the fill valve’s levels of water to stop the valve filling can be removed. After you have it removed raise it, then spin it. For a thorough examination of any debris, you should examine your diaphragm valve. If you have to wash the diaphragm with soapy water then clean it, it is recommended to do so. The fill valve that was used in the past should be replaced exactly in the same spot in the tank. The valve should be placed in an opening in the tank, in the place where the water supply line is located. Connect the water supply line directly to your faucet. Rotate the knob clockwise until you get it to tighten.
