What should I do if my toilet is not flushing properly?

Start by checking the tank. Make sure the handle moves the flapper freely and the chain has slight slack. If the fill valve or float sticks, the bowl may not fill and the flush will be weak. Frequent clogs or weak flushing can point to drain issues. Use the food-coloring test to spot silent leaks that affect performance. We offer same-day toilet diagnostics, repairs, and replacements in Denver and Thornton.

Quick checks:

• Verify chain length and flapper seal.
• Confirm water level and float movement.
• Do the food-coloring leak test.
