How to Get a Strong Toilet Flush in Lynnwood

strong toilet flush lynnwoodDo you find yourself flushing the toilet twice because the flush is weak and fails to send everything down? Not only is this a nuisance but it’s also a water waster. Here’s why it has become weak and how you can get a strong toilet flush in Lynnwood.

Check for a Backup

The weak flush may be due to a clog that partially blocks the waste pipe. Water struggles to flow through and consumes pressure that otherwise contributes to flushing power.

To check for a backup, fill the toilet bowl with water and flush. If the flushing power remains the same, then you have a partial backup. Try to remove the backup with a plunger. If that doesn’t help, you may need to contact plumbing services.

Clean the Rim

The rim holes where the flushing water flows through may be blocked from mineral deposit buildup. For a quick way to create a strong flush, open the toilet lid and pour one to two cups of toilet bowl cleaner into the flush valve opening. The flush valve, located in the middle of the toilet tank, includes the overflow tube, the hole where water enters the bowl when the toilet is flushed and the rubber tank ball or flapper that covers the hole when the tank is full. Don’t use the toilet for the next several hours. The cleaner will flow through the channels and dissolve the hardened deposits.

Low Water Bowl Level

You won’t get full flushing power if the water in the bowl is abnormally low. Low levels may indicate a leaky fill valve. If the valve leaks water, it takes pressure away from the tube that refills the bowl.

Flush the toilet with the toilet tank lid open. Is water squirting from the valve? If so, then this part needs to be replaced.
