There is no water in the toilet tank or the toilet. Why is this?

Question

The toilet was working fine in the morning and no one used it, but there was no water that night.

Answer 1

The ball-c**k is probably stuck in the 'full' position.

Lift the toilet cystern lid and tap the ball. This will allow it to drop into the 'empty' position and usually does the trick.

If not, the ball-c**k itself is blocked and may need changing. good luck.

Answer 2

Is your toilet leaking? Check for water on the floor, lots of it. Maybe the plug inside isn't sitting on the hole very well, check that. Is the water going to the toilet turned on?

If your toilet is making a noise like it is filling up but there is no water, then the water is getting out somewhere. If it si not making any noise, the water might not be on.

Of course, the insides could be clogged or broken as well.

Answer 3

water shut off or waterline plugged up...

Answer 4

is your water on....

Answer 5

There could be a few things wrong....some of the most common are

Is the rubber stopper working in your tank? This is a piece that allows water to flow to the bowl.  I know because I had to replace mine in my toilet. I am not a plumber so it is fairly easy to do.

Though you would probably hear water running all the time if the stopper/plunger is broken. Water would continue to fill in the tank but run out...

Another problem is if the water is turned off to your toilet. If someone flushed it at night and it just never filled back up.

You can buy toilet kits at Home Depot or even Walmart. They have instructions...I did my own. But if it is something more complicated call a plumber.

Answer 6

The tank flapper is not working properly and allows the water in the tank to escape into the bowl. The tank refill tube may be clogged or broken. The main water supply line has been closed.

Answer 7

hmmmmm...probably need to replace the shut off valve at the wall. or the ball-c**k valve inside the toilet tank is stuck closed. the wall valve is probably fine though as it's open and if no one has closed it, it should be open, (unless it's gotten clogged.). i bet the valve inside the tank is stuck closed. you can get a replacement kit for the inside gutts of the tank for about 12 bux. read and follow all instructions.
