How to Fix a weak-flushing toilet with flapper problems with tips from Lowe's

Person demonstrating a plumbing tool in a bathroom setting.

Normally, when you press the lever on your toilet in your bathroom, you expect it to flush, but sometimes your toilet just won't flush completely, or you have to hold the lever down to get it to work. Lowe's tells you that the problem might be the flapper, and they show you how to fix it.

Joel and Courtney show what to look for if you have a weak flushing toilet. First, look to see if the toilet lever chain is attached to the flapper valve. If its not, reattach it. If the chain is connected, make sure the there isn't too much slack from the lever to the flapper. Also, make sure the water level is adjusted to allow proper flushing.
