What Causes Toilet Keeps Running?

Understanding toilet keeps running helps homeowners in Tampa Bay make informed decisions about when to call a plumber.

Warning Signs

  • Water keeps trickling into the bowl after flushing
  • The tank refills on its own between uses
  • A noticeably higher water bill
  • Constant faint running or hissing sound from the tank
  • The flapper doesn't fully seal after the tank fills

When to Call a Plumber

Call a plumber if jiggling the handle or checking the flapper doesn't stop it, or if you're not comfortable working inside the tank.

What To Do Right Now

  1. Check whether the flapper is seating properly after a flush
  2. Try adjusting the fill valve or float if you're comfortable doing so
  3. Call CDS Service Co at (813) 590-7499
  4. Note how long the running has been happening

Extremely professional even on labor day weekend, had a slip and fall that disabled the only toilet in the household. Multiple companies were called beforehand and absolutely none even talked about it Within 5 minutes of having the call they showed up, fantastic time and great service πŸ‘

Josh came out and replaced the wax rings on two of the toilets in the house quickly and efficiently. He even took the time to explain how the wax seals work and what causes their deterioration. I am very pleased with their service and Josh's professionalism. Also, their prices are affordable.

A good and reliable plumber is hard to find, but thanks to a great recommendation I found CDS Tampa. Justin was so kind to very quickly schedule a service visit and Tyler diagnosed the problem in short order and got it fixed in record time. They are professional, reliable and also happen to be nice people :) Thank you for your help!

On vacation visiting Mother in law in Sun City Ctr. Had toilet issue and Josh was out to open drain. We ultimately needed to replace the toilet few days later due to long term toilet issue and Josh was back out and did a great job at an affordable price. Would give both Josh and CDS big thank you.!!!
