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

If your toilet won’t flush, try a few quick checks, then schedule service. Open the tank and untangle the handle chain, reseat the flapper, and confirm water is at the fill line. Use a plunger for light clogs. Do not use chemical drain cleaners. If the bowl rises, turn the shut-off valve clockwise to stop water. G&C can fix flappers, fill/flush valves, or replace the toilet, often same visit, with upfront pricing and a 2-year warranty (4 years for Priority Plan members).
