What should I do if my toilet is not flushing properly?

If your toilet won’t flush fully, start with simple checks. Make sure the tank water reaches the fill line. Confirm the flapper seals and the chain has slight slack. Open the shutoff valve fully. Plunge 10–20 firm strokes; if needed, use a toilet auger. Avoid chemical drain cleaners. If gurgling affects other drains, it may be a main-line issue. We handle toilet repairs for Roanoke and nearby areas.
