Replaced a Running Toilet Flapper in a Burleson Home 08.03.26

A Burleson homeowner called about a toilet that kept refilling itself every twenty minutes without anyone flushing it. Don found the flapper had gone soft and warped along one edge, which let water seep from the tank into the bowl and triggered the fill valve over and over. He cleaned the flush valve seat, installed a new flapper matched to the valve, and set the chain slack so the flapper seats fully without being held open. A running toilet like this one can waste a couple hundred gallons a day while making almost no noise, so it is worth checking if your water bill has climbed without explanation.
