A toilet that leaves waste behind is frustrating, and the cause is usually fixable. Here is the Richmond guide.
The water level
A tank that is not filling to the mark starves the flush. Adjust the fill valve up.
The rim jets
Clogged rim jets weaken the swirl that clears the bowl. Clean them with a small brush.
The flapper
A flapper that closes too early shortens the flush. An adjustable flapper fixes it.
The call
If the basics do not help, the toilet or the drain may need attention. Call 888-217-3585 and Richmond, VA Plumbing Pros will match you with a Richmond pro.
