I had to turn off the water supply to our upstairs toilet when we went on vacation, but now that I'm trying to turn it back on, no water is coming out. Everything else is working, the shower and sink has water except for the toilet. Please help!!!

  1. The valve seat has stuck closed inside the valve. You will need to clean it out and replace the seat ( washer ) inside it.

    It could also be your valve inside the toilet tank is stuck closed...giggle it around to see if it opens.


  2. Sounds like a blockage but can't determine if blockage is in the line or the ballcock assembly itself.  Cut the water back off to the toilet and undo the supply line right at the underside of the tank.  Place the end of the tank line in a plastic bucket and s-l-o-w-l-y cut the water on at the shut-off valve.  If you see water free flowing then your blockage is at the ballcock assembly and it will need to be replaced with a new one to restore water to the toilet tank.  If water does not flow into the bucket then your supply line is blocked and will need to be flushed.  A plumber or handyman can flush the line for a minimal charge.

  3. sounds like you need a rebuild kit for your toilet, call a plumber and have the kit installed and you will be happy because it sounds like it was failing. here is a link to a kit:http://www.fluidmaster.com/index.asp?bhc...
