Flush Valve Repair in Warfield, VA
The flush valve is the drain opening at the bottom of the tank, plus the overflow tube that rises beside it. When the seat cracks or the overflow tube splits, water leaks into the bowl no matter how many flappers you try.
A-1 Plumbing Services connects Warfield, VA homeowners with plumbers who handle flush valve repair properly. On many two-piece toilets that means separating the tank from the bowl, fitting a new tank-to-bowl gasket and bolts, and installing a new flush valve assembly. On the canister-style valves used in many newer toilets, it may only mean a new canister seal.
Signs the flush valve is the problem: a running toilet that a new flapper did not fix, water seeping from the joint between tank and bowl, or a visible crack in the overflow tube.
The plumber also checks the tank bolts. Rusted steel bolts are a common slow leak, and swapping them for brass or stainless while the tank is off costs very little.
