Toilet intermittent constant flush

Jul 08, 2018 4 Replies

Hi all,



I have a toilet with a button push flush on the top. Every now and again, when you flush it, it continues to run water into the bowl after the main flush. This continues until you press the flush buttons a few times and it stops.



Any idea what the issue is and can it be repaired or will I need a while new flushing mechanism?



Thanks



Lee.


Depends on the flush valve type, could be as simple as a bit of grit in it.

WD40 under the buttons,

Pour some liqiud soap/handwash down the push button cylinder to lubricate it, that usually does the trick.
