At my employed grocery store, there is one stall in the ladiesâ room that wonât flush completely unless you hold down the lever. Then last week, they changed all the toilets â ladiesâ and menâs rooms â to motion-sensor toilets (as well as motion-sensor faucet taps and motion-sensor paper towel dispensers).
Actually, it doesnât fix the problem, just treats the symptom(s). Itâs when the symptom(s) becomes untenable, that a Plugger fixes the problem. and as Red Phantom stated, it takes multiple trips to the Hardware Store, but not all trips are for parts.
A smart plugger, he knows it will turn into a can of worms. The parts are no longer available and it will mean a complete new toilet.. the sub floor likely needs replacing.. the attaching ring is loose and now might be a good time to replace that cast iron sewer line. Then, the vent is not up to codeâŠ.. keep jiggling or use a bucket.. heck you donât have that many more years in that place anyway.
As a Mrs. Plugger, I was fortunate to be married to a maintenance mechanic. Even âminorâ problems like this one were quickly remedied. Alas, since heâs now gone, the places Iâve rented donât quite come up to that level of service. (Although in fairness, some have done a pretty good job.) What drives me nuts is when the âfixersâ donât even know what theyâre fixing or what they need. The owner of this house showed up with a 60-watt bulb, saying he understood that the light was out in my kitchen. I took him to the kitchen and showed him the 4-tube fluorescent lighting fixture! (To his credit, he did promptly get the new tubes and install them). Well, enough whining for now, lol.

I have light switch like that. I have the parts and the know-how but a dearth of motivation.

Well, a plugger would probably be a DIY type, but any plumbing job requires at least 3 trips to the hardware store so this delays that.

Iâve never seen the handle on that side of the tank.

This only works if you are the only one using the toilet. If you have children, you get enormous water bills.

If the problem is corrected by âjiggle the handleâ, then just replace the flapper. Itâs not that hard.
