Every time I flush the toilet at work I have to jiggle the handle or the toilet runs?

Question

What causes this?

Answer 1

Flapper needs replacement most likely.

Answer 2

You know when you are a redneck when one of the most common phrases is " Somebody go jiggle the leaver"!!!!! The flapper valve is ether not setting correct or maybe even the little chain is to long and its getting under it when it falls. Simple fix adjust flapper, replace flapper because the little rubber henge is broken off not allowing it to fall straight or shorten the chain.

Answer 3

Jiggle the Handle they were a good band....

IDK ...I'm no plumber.

Answer 4

There is a chain or strap the connects the handle to the flapper. It needs to be adjusted. It is probably "hanging up" on the flapper and not allowing it to fully close. The chain only needs to be loose enough to allow the flapper to close all the way.

Answer 5

The flapper on the inside not closing - it needs to be adjusted or replaced.
