I just thought something wasn't aligned right in my toilet. I've been pushing down the flush valve whenever it runs but this only fixes the problem temporarily. Looks like I just need to replace the whole fill valve. Is it always necessary to replace the whole thing? <br />utahcountyplumbing.comGrace Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218007677671828384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618114936688162288.post-33190257365553362282014-03-02T23:58:26.956-05:002014-03-02T23:58:26.956-05:00It’s great when I hear homeowners taking some resp...It’s great when I hear homeowners taking some responsibility for learning how to do basic plumbing jobs around the house. As a plumber with more than 15 years of experience I can’t even imagine how many toilets I have been called out to fix, and they generally are something to do with the ballcock, fixing leaks, or cracked pipes. I’m thinking of starting a few classes to teach very basic plumbing to homeowners, what do you think?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344788215395265363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618114936688162288.post-47874343333329258522013-09-23T22:33:50.483-04:002013-09-23T22:33:50.483-04:00We have a lot of running toilets in my house.

We had to tweak ours since if we have our lines "full open" the toilets kept running even with the new valves. When we shut the supply valve 1/4 turn the shut off worked correctly. Bizarre but true! I think the high water pressure was keeping the flapper up. *shrugs* <br /><br />Anyhoo.. I love your step by step instructions. Way better than paying a plumber!
