Toilet won't flush — Los Angeles, California
A toilet that refuses to flush properly is both inconvenient and unsanitary, often pointing to a worn flapper, broken chain, or clog deep in the drain line. Repeated failed flushes can cause sewage backup and water damage to your bathroom floor. A licensed plumber can quickly identify whether the issue is in the tank mechanism or the drain and get your toilet working reliably again.
