How to Repair a Leaky Mansfield Toilet: DIY Troubleshooting Tips
Since moving into our new house, I’ve been dealing with a frustrating issue—one of our three Mansfield toilets developed a slow leak and began running. Initially, the problem didn’t seem urgent, as the toilet was quiet and the leak was infrequent. But during our one-year checkup, I asked the technicians to look at it. As one technician was heading up to inspect it, the other mentioned “check the level,” which didn’t mean much to me at the time—until I finally understood the issue.
The Problem with a Running Toilet
After the technician supposedly fixed the problem, I noticed that the toilet’s running noise became louder and more frequent. At first, I ignored it, unaware of the water wastage caused by a running toilet. Despite my intention to inspect the issue, every time I opened the tank, I felt clueless about what to do next and simply put the lid back on. To make matters worse, I had never worked on a Mansfield toilet before and wasn’t familiar with its design.
Realizing the Impact of the Leak
The turning point came when I decided to check how much water was being wasted by the running toilet. I was shocked to discover that it was wasting nearly a full tank of water every hour! I knew at that moment I had to stop procrastinating and fix the issue once and for all.
My Journey to Repairing a Mansfield Toilet
