Why does my toilet not flush all the way?
When you flush, it raises to allow water to empty from the tank to the toilet bowl. Then it lowers itself to hold water in the tank for the next flush. If your flapper is worn, it might not sit properly and will allow water to leak from the tank. As a result, there won’t be enough water for the toilet to fully flush.
What happens to the flapper when you flush the toilet?
When you flush the toilet, you’re actually lifting a chain that’s attached to the flapper. When that chain lifts, it lifts up the flapper which allows all the water in the tank to pour quickly into the toilet bowl. When the toilet isn’t in “flush mode” the flapper’s job is to seal off that hole completely so that water doesn’t escape the tank.
How can I Make my Toilet Flush all the way?
