Why Won't My Toilet Flush?

4 Common Causes

Select a symptom to identify what is happening inside your tank or drain.

1. Disconnected Flapper ChainEasy DIY check

The chain inside the tank came loose or snapped, preventing the flapper from opening.

2. Deep Drain or Trap ClogImmediate attention

A blockage in the toilet trap or main drain line stops water from emptying during a flush.

3. Low Water Level in TankPlumber recommended

Faulty fill valve or shutoff valve prevents enough water from filling the tank reservoir.

4. Worn Out Flush Valve / FlapperPart replacement

Rubber flapper seal has deteriorated, warped, or cracked, leaking water continuously.

Important: If the toilet is completely clogged, avoid flushing repeatedly to prevent raw sewage overflow onto your bathroom floor.
