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

If your toilet won’t flush and the bowl isn’t clogged, the problem is likely in the tank or water supply. Try a few quick checks before calling Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling in Peru, Logansport, or Wabash.

• Make sure the shutoff valve under the toilet is fully open.
• Lift the tank lid: reattach or shorten a slack flapper chain.
• Ensure the flapper seals and isn’t warped.
• Check that the water level reaches the fill line; adjust the float.
• Jiggle or tighten a loose handle.
• In freezing weather, verify lines aren’t frozen.
