What should I do if my toilet won't flush but is not clogged?

If the toilet won’t flush and there’s no clog, the problem is usually in the tank parts or the water supply. Try these quick checks before you call for service in Huntington or Bluffton.

• Remove the tank lid and confirm water reaches the “fill line.” Open the shutoff valve fully if low.
• Make sure the handle and lift arm move freely; snug the handle nut.
• Shorten or reattach the chain so it lifts the flapper fully.
• Reseat or replace a warped flapper.
• If refill is slow, the fill valve likely needs service.
