Toilet tank licks: how to fix it?
Hello everyone!
Surely each of you in your life has come across a well-known problem - toilet leakage. People say about it "the toilet licks", and we will choose the correct term - a leak.
What is it fraught with:
- in a private house, all the water can leave the system;
- in the apartment due to leakage, the drainage fee will increase + on the wall of the toilet bowl you will find a surprise in the form of a rusty strip.
Two main reasons why the toilet cistern is leaking:
1) Worn out gasket between the cistern and the toilet;
2) The "insides" of the toilet tank fell into disrepair, and with a probability of 80% it was covered drain valve and only in 1 out of 5 cases the "float" is damaged - filling valve.
Accordingly, the problem is solved as follows:
- replacing the gasket between the cistern and the toilet (issue price - 50 rubles);
- aligning the float (it often turns and clings to the walls of the tank. Because of this, water is drawn in and poured out through the head of the drain valve). The price of the issue is 0 rubles.
- changing the drain valve. It's hard to come up with something with him, so it's easier to change. Price - from 400 rubles.
Now you know what to do if the tank "licks"
