Toilet running constantly — Larnaca, Larnaca
A toilet that keeps running after flushing wastes hundreds of gallons of water per day and drives up utility bills. The most common culprits are a worn flapper valve that no longer seals the flush valve opening, a waterlogged float that cannot shut off the fill valve, an improperly adjusted fill level, or a cracked overflow tube. A plumber can replace the flapper and fill valve, adjust float height, and check the flush valve seat for mineral buildup or warping.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Larnaca
Larnaca's hard water (high calcium carbonate content) causes accelerated limescale buildup in water heaters and immersion systems, and solar hot water systems on Cypriot rooftops add heat-exchanger and circulation-pump failure points that peak in summer. The salt-lake humidity adds to corrosion of exposed pipework near the wetland. Cyprus licenses plumbers through the Ministry of Energy (Α/Β/Γ class).
