The toilet, a fundamental fixture in our daily lives, depends on a delicate balance of multiple components. If there is an issue with any one of these parts, then you can expect trouble. If your toilet tank is empty, then there are a few possible culprits. In this brief article brought to you by Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we’ll look at some potential reasons why there is no water in your toilet tank. If you prefer to avoid the hassle and have a uniformed plumber handle your toilet repair, then call Mr. Rooter Plumbing to schedule an appointment or request emergency assistance.
When we address this issue, the first thing we check for is a water supply disruption. The toilet tank's water reservoir relies on a consistent flow of water to refill post-flush. Sometimes that flow is cut because the water shut-off valve has been turned off – usually inadvertently. The fix is simple. Locate the shut-off valve, often located beneath or behind the toilet, and turn it counter-clockwise to resume the water flow.
If you do not hear water rushing back into the toilet tank, then there might be a deeper issue. As far as water supply is concerned, you may have a leak or blockage in the water supply line. Sadly, these are problems that require advanced knowledge and equipment. You may need to hire a plumber to pinpoint blockages or leaks in your water line.
There are a number of parts in the toilet, and two that primarily regulate the water supply in the toilet tank: the fill valve and the float. If either of these components is malfunctioning, it might not allow water to enter the tank or remain in the tank.
The float might be stuck in a low position, preventing the valve from opening properly. Similarly, a cracked or damaged fill valve can allow water to seep out, halting the replenishment process. Both of these parts are fairly simple to replace, and you might be able to get it done in under 30 minutes. Still, improper installation can end up wasting your time and cause other issues. If you’d rather have a plumber take care of part replacements, then call Mr. Rooter Plumbing.
The toilet depends on a steady and appropriate level of pressure to work properly, and low water pressure can prevent water from filling the toilet tank. It’s important to periodically test and check the pressure regulating valves. If you notice low water pressure from faucets and showerheads, then it might be time to call in a plumber.
Low water pressure can also be due to leaks or blockages in the water line. Again, these are issues that require advanced plumbing knowledge. Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing to have a uniformed plumber inspect your plumbing system.
A dysfunctional toilet is nothing to take lightly. If your toilet tank is empty, or otherwise not working, then call Mr. Rooter Plumbing to have a uniformed plumber investigate. We are proud to offer emergency plumbing service and repair.
