In this video home improvement consultant Tim Carter takes a phone call from someone whose toilet keeps on running. Tim describes the process of finding and replacing the toilet flapper unit.
The flapper valve assembly in your California toilet is the component that opens and blocks the drain hole that allows water run into the toilet bowl.
When the flapper is not closed the right way water will trickle into the bowl and the water tank will continuously try to fill itself.
When the flapper does seat itself correctly, it probably needs replacing because it is not fixable. When you go to your Texas home and garden outlet to find a replacement part be sure you get the right one.
