I WANT TO SCREAM & cry !!!! My toilet has been running FOR WEEKS & Guest coming over for Christmas forced me to search RUclips! THANK YOU SOOOO SOOO MUCH! Seriously!
Forced you? Damn! 😮 So what are we talking, INVITED guests turned psyco? Possibly due to excessive bud light consumption? Which is an? Or you mean uninvited guests as in a violent home invasion by Chinese ninja samurais working as secret mysterious enforcers for youtube who could well have rode in on a fire eating dragon ? As is the usual case in such matters. Probably. Hmm. Might want to be more careful who you invite over next time buddy. And invite the second group first. That way it'll all even out and noone will be angry or force you to do things against you will! Defintely! Probably. Idk but anyone tried to force me to do something cause of a runn8jg toilet I'd literally flush them down it right into the smelly septic tank too stay til the mutate into ninja turtles! LITERALLY!
What a great deed you have done sharing this with everyone! Our toilet would run for like 15 minutes after each flush. My husband tried 2x to fix it and never could! But guess who fixed it?! You and me! Thank you so much! You’re seriously such a help! Plus, it gives women a better name ❤️
Hi Leah, I'm a first-time retired female viewer living alone. I selected your video from the ones I searched for by typing "how to fix a running toilet" because your's was the shortest. I'm so glad I did. My toilet just started running earlier today and once I made the "adjustment" you demonstrate in this video, it stopped. Magic! Thank you, so much. I have already subscribed to your channel because I know you just saved me at least a $99 plumber house call fee.
Sadly, it didn't work for me. But, I think it's a different issue because jiggling handle doesn't stop it. It SOUNDS like water is running and when I turn the valve off, I don't hear the sound but I don't SEE water running either. Very odd!! I also took the cap off and cleaned it, that didn't work either. Oh well :(
Just watched three different guys tell me how to fix a running toilet. Didn’t fix the problem. Then I watched your video and the adjustment screw was the answer! THANK YOU!
Hi Leah, I want to let you know as a recently divorced woman living alone with my youngest daugther your video saved me. My toilet was running for days and then refused to flush and it was late into the night and I did not want to spend 100s of pounds I did not have to call out a plumber. Some of the videos on here were long and complicated and needed a technical fix in order to solve this issue. Your video was just right for a lone woman on her own who needed a quick fix for this issue. Thank you for getting to the point and solving the issue in under 5 minutes. I have saved your video for future reference and I am now a subscriber. Please keep up the good work for ladies like me! 😊
Reminder to viewers who are new to fixing things- The water in the tank is clean water so don’t worry about getting your hands in there, the stuff at the bottom or brownish reddish stuff is just discoloration from minerals in the water. As Leah says, you CAN do this! Be careful to put the tank cover down in a safe place so it will not get broken & you won’t accidentally trip on it. I usually set it in the bathtub while I work on the tank.
I'm not so sure...... Someone could have easily done an upper decker in there.......Leah is a tough old bird and wouldn't mind getting her hands into that regardless, but it's not for everyone........ Please try to be more cautious with your advice in future.
O my goodness ! It's 3 am and I swear the stress of that toilet running in downstairs bath has been keeping me up at night. I watched your video and went right downstairs and within 3 minutes had it FIXED 🙌🙌🙌 Thank you Jesus🙏 and Thank you Jane🌹
I had a running toilet and had asked my husband to check it over a week ago but he hasn’t had time to look at because of his work schedule so after watching this video today, I was able to fix it myself just a few minutes ago. Thanks for sharing.
Same! Just peeked in my husbands office for a screw driver and he said what for? I’m like for our toilet that runs for 4 minutes after filling. Screwed it left a few times and fixed it right up myself. Thank you!
Oh poo! Mine must be an older model bc there’s no screw to turn counter clockwise. I need to remove the shelf that surround toilet so I can see what model number is.
I'm inclined to believe there are a lot more people that just don't bother to hit that like button after you've shown them how to fix something. You deserve so much more acknowledgement. I'd say 95% of my DIY dilemmas are fixed successfully by your posts. THANK YOU Leah for all the time & effort you put into your channel. Know that you are helping more than you know and may you be blessed with continued success. 🙏💝
I totally agree. I have worked with hand tools most of my life both professionally and at home. Sometimes I just need a refresher and Leah provides that. Her explanations are easy to understand and thorough. Thanks Leah
I have never done anything with toilet repairs. After I watched the video I got a screwdriver and went to work. My toilet is more modern and has a knob that you turn. I turned it to the left, like you would a screw and it worked. My husband has dementia and I am having to do things myself. I am so proud of myself. Thank you
Leah, thank you so much. After receiving my last three water bills that were extremely high, especially the one today, and shutting off the water valve after each flush, I couldn't take it anymore. After watching other videos and following their instructions proved futile, I came across your video. Simply turning the adjustment screw counter clockwise was the solution. Wow!
Leah, I literally just discovered this problem in my guest bathroom this morning! I was ready to buy a new toilet because I couldn't figure out the problem. Now, problem solved! You just saved me $300+!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for posting the video. Happened to have a very similar system like yours, so was able to nip it in the bud. Soon as I adjusted it, bam, no running water. So simple, thank you for taking the time to create this video and for explaining it within 1 minute
I love her videos. I always feel like she's talking to me directly and I love the encouraging words at the end "You can do this!" My goal is to be a handy woman tackling the simple stuff around the house before I call in the troops. As my friends tell me "you got this girl" Thank you!!
Thank you! I think I just fixed our toilet that has been running for quite a while with everyone always juggling the handle to get the toilet to stop running. I liked that you spoke clearly and showed exactly what you were talking about. It was super helpful to me!
Hi Leah… You are my new favorite person! OMG .. just this weekend, I had a whole house full of guests spending Friday- Sunday at my home( they just left a few hours ago). LITERALLY ..on Friday, only an HOUR before my house guests arrived, the toilet in my upstairs guest bathroom started running and would not flush!. I immediately called a plumber whom I’ve used in the past who does “ jobs on the side “ hoping he would come out to help ( even though it was late Friday afternoon) no call back… So, today, after my guests left, I found your webpage “ how to stop a running toilet in seconds” and literally , in less than 2 minutes, I just fixed my toilet! So, now , I no longer have to anxiously wait for my plumber to call me tomorrow ( Monday) in order to schedule something this week; instead , I fixed it myself! Saving time and money! You are awesome! I might add that before I found your website, I tried another person’s website who had 3- 4 pages of “ steps, .. the instructions were not only onerous, but they did not make sense and did NOT work. So, Out of frustration, I gave up and found you.. your advice was very practical in that you suggested what the most common fix was … and bingo ! My toilet is running smoothly. I cannot thank you enough.. you are amazing .
Leah, Your explanation of how to stop the continuous flow of water in the toilet tank was the most clear, concise and helpful than any of the others I have watched. I think I have the problem stopped but am keeping a watch on it to be sure. Thank you for getting to the point clearly,
Running toilet was driving me nuts. Watched your video along with a few others and I now know more about toilets than I have ever wanted to know before. Fix both toilets with new seals, adjusted water levels and cleaned fill valve seals. You said I could do it and I did, thank you Leah! Joining the 60 club soon 😃
Thank you Leah! Your clear instructions averted a major catastrophe. My toilet was running for at least an hour in the middle of the night and after trying everything I thought would work your simple adjustment worked! I am now a believer and a subscriber!
Leave it to a woman to make it short and simple!! After months of a running toilet, I fixed it in a few minutes thanks to you. I take care of my disabled husband and don't have the time or money for a plumber. A million thanks! ❤ P.S. I just subscribed to your channel!
Thank you so much for all your videos. Im a first time homebuyer and have been undertaking a dmall bathroom remodel and trying to DIY as much as possible to save money, your videos have walked me through so many of my tasks and have really empowered me as both a woman and a homeowner, thank you for your lessons!
You need an extended version of this video for people that don’t have the adjusting screw…. My 40 year old toilet just had a floating ball looking thing attached to the fill tower. Luckily the mechanics that you explained of “water level not right” gave me enough insight that I was able to intuit that I needed to bend the arm of the floating ball downwards slightly to lower the water level. Love your channel. You helped me caulk… now this 😃. I feel like exploring your channel to find new superpowers I didn’t know I needed.
This is why I love RUclips. I appreciate you taking the time to do this and also putting “on some models.” Mine was opposite of yours but it was the fix to stop the running water and now I also got the proper water level in place. Thank you for the friendly tutorial!
YOU DID IT! You did the trick, or rather, you showed me how to do it, and I did it. It's funny, you're little tagline at the end, "You can do it!" actually got me to try, and...I DID IT! No more running toilet noise! You're the best, thank you!
You're the best! You have saved me thousands of hours over time that I would have spent looking online to find a fix for something, or spent countless dollars to hire someone. Instead, I just pay attention to your videos and learn something new when you post one. Thank you so very much!
You are an ANGEL. THANK YOU! This has seriously saved me a call to a plumber. For whatever reason, every other google search was saying to turn the screw clockwise and I felt like an idiot because it wasn’t working. I appreciate you!
Thank you so much, Leah! After months of hearing this in our bathroom, I was just about to call a plumber. I decided to see if there was anything I could try first and your video came up. Your tips completely worked for our situation. I was already a subscriber because your videos are so clear and you make anyone watching feel like they can tackle things they never tried before. They have proved helpful to me in the past, several times. This is overdue, but l just wanted to thank you for posting your extremely helpful videos! You just saved me a bunch of money and time in trying to coordinate with an available plumber that matches my schedule! So appreciative of the knowledge that you share and the precise way you impart that knowledge!
Hi Leah! I love your videos! Single mom, living alone and couldn’t fix my toilet for MONTHS… watched this video and had it fixed before the video was over. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Hi Leah - I echo the sentiments of others who commented on this video, thank you so much for taking the time to make these simple videos. You are truly a blessing ❤️
Ms Leah, Thank you for letting the Lord use you to bless so many other people. You are amazing!!!! Here it is 3 years later and this video is still helping others like me!!! 💖💖💖
Thanks! At my daughter's apartment and she's been complaining about her toilet running. Googled what to do, your video came up, and now it's fixed. Thank you so much.
My DEAR Leah, I had a leaky toilet which I "fixed", now for over a YEAR, I often have to flush twice or it clogs, etc. (details omitted) Thanks to you, I no longer debate on getting a new one, and this one works well. My water level was only about an inch low upon refill and believe it or not, that was the problem. You are VERY correct that it is only a SLIGHT adjustment! Maybe a quarter turn if that. It is now to the proper water height and works like a charm. THANKS Darlin'! "Clockwise is higher, counter clockwise is lower. I did NOT know.
Thank you so much. I am a home health aide and I fixed the toilet at my clients house. Thank you so much. I’m sure it saves them a ton of money in plumbing costs. Turns out that that screw just needed adjusted.
Honestly, all I can say is a huge thank you so so much. I tried everything and yours is the only one that worked without having to buy or change anything. Top tip: if unsure if yours is clockwise or anti-clockwise, TRY BOTH
Your video hit the nail on the head. We’ve had this toilet for 10 years and I never studied how it worked. I recently noticed the toilet didn’t stop running and realized the water was coming to the very top of the canister. I took your advice and turned the screw a few times counterclockwise, but nothing seemed to change😊. Then, I tried turning it a few more times and sure enough: the water stopped at the fill line. Maybe the fastest repair I ever made.
Thanks from Australia! We had a pipe burst, and the plumber fixed this, but all day today the toilet was running and I knew something had impacted it when they turned the water off. Your video was helpful, quick and easy to follow! Used a phillips head and screwed anti clock wise and 🥳 Success! Perfect level for the water line. Thanks very much!
Dear Leah - Sending GRATITUDE to you for explaining this so well succinctly! I watched a few longer videos that were not helpful. Your video helped a 66 yo female fix the running problem on a brand new toilet I have been listening to for weeks. Feeling thankful to you and a enjoying a sense of relief that you helped me learn how to solve this problem! Shine on!
Worked like a charm and saved me an expensive bill from the plumber! The other videos on this subject were lengthy and complicated. Thank you for posting this video. 🙂
THANK YOU! I have been putting up with an intermittent running toilet for MONTHS, but I was not familiar with the insides of this newer toilet so I did not know what to do. Watched this video, and VOILA! Subscribed!
Thank you so much!❤️ My toilet has been running for a couple weeks and I couldn’t take it anymore. Your instructions were superb and I was able to fix it myself! 🙏🏽✨
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I've been racking my brain for 6 months now trying to fix my running toilet. After trying to adjust the floater, completely cleaning and getting rid of all the gunk in the tank (twice! I know have the cleanest toilet tank in the World!), I was ready to give up. I had watched at least 50 videos of guys saying I had to do this and that, but none ever touched that adjustment button. Finally, I found you! You have no idea how grateful I am. Now, I'll teach that to my daughter so she'll know what to do if she ever gets the same problem with her toilet. When I think that some people can't figure it out and have to call a plumber!
Omg, Leah! I wish I had found this video months ago! It’s so clear and concise. All the other videos I saw had this complicated plumbing work. My toilet started running again last night and in frustration I broke the flapper. Hope you have a video on replacing it! Lol off to search now. - *Edit - I did it!!
It fixed it! I had changed the gasket first, but didn’t stop the water from running. I didn’t know about changing the water level. Thank you so much! You saved the the cost of a plumber $$
Today my wife told me that the toilet's been running. I did noticed the passed 2-3 days that it took a bit longer for the sound to go away after each flush. I'm no plumber but I do have some handyman in me. I just hopped on youtube to see if anyone has the best solution for a quick fix. That's when I came across your video, I did the adjustment and that fixed the issue. Leah, you're the best! I remembered coming across some of your videos a couple years ago and wow you have not aged one bit! I think the last video I watched from you was how to cut the floor boards. I was helping my parents out with remodeling a house at the time.
I would like to commend, thank you, give you a hug for this adjustment. I watched a couple of other quite scary videos about how to replace everything, and purchased all the stuff. I watched your video this morning and quickly made the adjustment (My toilet had a knob to turn instead of a screw) It worked like magic!!!!! I am full of joy! (I will be 73 on Friday - you go girl!!)
Thank you sooooooo much! The jiggling of the handle wasn’t working and the dripping was slowly driving me bonkers! This simple “screw adjustment” tip did the trick!!! I greatly appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share 💗💗💗
Leah!!! You are awesome! Oh my word 12 years I've had this issue and oh my word. You are the only person who resolved the issue. I am so excited. I fixed it!!! I CAN DO It!! And I did!!!! Thank you thank you!
Wow. My water bill randomly increased. I figured out it was because my toilet never stops running. This video is so helpful! Fixed my issue! Thank you ❤
thank you so much! fixed my problem. this video is going to generate an infinite amount of likes since everyone is always going to have this problem. youve won youtube/the internet! 👍
Another marvellous video. Fancy a job being my personal psychic. You always seem to publish videos in the order I need them! Thank you Leah your a star 💫
Finally!!! I followed your instructions and after weeks of hearing the water continuously running I came across your video and at last, it stopped! Thank you!
I had seen this video and made a mental note to try this before buying parts to fix my niece's toilet. Unfortunately, Teflon brain occurred, meaning it didn't stick, and off I went to by the parts. But when I was about to start the repairs I saw the screw and I remembered what you said (temporary Teflon brain gone). I turned the screw! It took 3 attempts at adjusting the screw and TaDa, it worked! The toilet stopped running. What my niece really needs is a whole new toilet, but thanks to you she can get some sleep without hearing the toilet run all night until this tired old one can be replaced. I am now a subscriber so I'm gona see what else you've got. Thank you so much, you're a genius! And because of you my niece thinks I'm a genius too.
Watched this video shortly after discovering your channel a few weeks ago out of curiosity while laying in bed thinking “I don’t have a broken toilet now, but I should know this”. That was a few weeks ago and today I encountered a broken toilet and thought “hey, I know how to do this now!” so I fixed it up and it was no big deal. Thank you Leah!!!!!
very simple fix. I tried to read & understand & visualize this problem & the solution.. this video was very helpful - I should have checked for this video WEEKS ago..! thank you, seeJane..!
I love your channel!!! You rally behind those of us who aren't master plumbers, electricians, or carpenters; without making me feel like a moron. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate learning from you! XOXOX
So glad I found this video! I just replaced the flapper to stop my toilet from running, but the next day I could still hear it running. It took several counterclockwise turns to get it to the right water level, but now no more leaking! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video.
My toilet tank wasn't filling so I checked on RUclips and watched a video that suggested the problem was either with the seal at the bottom of the tank (the flapper) or the fill valve. I happend to see your video listed under "Related" and clicked on it. I decided that, before buying new parts or, more likely, calling a plumber, I would try tightening/loosening the fill valve's adjustment screw. Guess what? It worked! You saved me at least $50 in parts or hundreds for a plumber (I know zero about plumbing)! Thank you!
Thank you, I fix the issue. Some DIY youtube videos are so lengthy but is not direct to the point. Your way was able to fix the issue I have immediately. Again, thank you!
Thank you so much for your video... I am at work and just got a new position as a make ready technician and I didn't know what to do because the toilet kept running but I just watched your video and it help me.... Thank you you are a God sent angel!!!☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

Forced you? Damn! 😮
So what are we talking, INVITED guests turned psyco?
Possibly due to excessive bud light consumption? Which is an?
Or you mean uninvited guests as in a violent home invasion by Chinese ninja samurais working as secret mysterious enforcers for youtube who could well have rode in on a fire eating dragon ? As is the usual case in such matters. Probably.
Hmm. Might want to be more careful who you invite over next time buddy.
And invite the second group first. That way it'll all even out and noone will be angry or force you to do things against you will! Defintely! Probably.
Idk but anyone tried to force me to do something cause of a runn8jg toilet I'd literally flush them down it right into the smelly septic tank too stay til the mutate into ninja turtles!

Your tips completely worked for our situation. I was already a subscriber because your videos are so clear and you make anyone watching feel like they can tackle things they never tried before. They have proved helpful to me in the past, several times. This is overdue, but l just wanted to thank you for posting your extremely helpful videos! You just saved me a bunch of money and time in trying to coordinate with an available plumber that matches my schedule! So appreciative of the knowledge that you share and the precise way you impart that knowledge!
Hi Leah! I love your videos! Single mom, living alone and couldn’t fix my toilet for MONTHS… watched this video and had it fixed before the video was over. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Hi Leah - I echo the sentiments of others who commented on this video, thank you so much for taking the time to make these simple videos. You are truly a blessing ❤️
I've been having this issue with my toilet for a while now and it was resolved within seconds after watching this video. THANK YOU!!!
Sorry, can’t finish this one... need to rush off and fix my toilet 🙃 Thanks, Leah. Your tips are always helpful.
Ms Leah, Thank you for letting the Lord use you to bless so many other people. You are amazing!!!! Here it is 3 years later and this video is still helping others like me!!! 💖💖💖
This is legit the best instruction video I’ve seen on RUclips, instant fix
Thanks! At my daughter's apartment and she's been complaining about her toilet running. Googled what to do, your video came up, and now it's fixed. Thank you so much.
My DEAR Leah,
I had a leaky toilet which I "fixed", now for over a YEAR, I often have to flush twice or it clogs, etc. (details omitted)
Thanks to you, I no longer debate on getting a new one, and this one works well. My water level was only about an inch low upon refill and believe it or not, that was the problem. You are VERY correct that it is only a SLIGHT adjustment! Maybe a quarter turn if that. It is now to the proper water height and works like a charm. THANKS Darlin'! "Clockwise is higher, counter clockwise is lower. I did NOT know.
Maybe less than a 1/4 turn, I kept the lid off until it flush and filled at consistently the proper level.
Thank you so much. I am a home health aide and I fixed the toilet at my clients house. Thank you so much. I’m sure it saves them a ton of money in plumbing costs. Turns out that that screw just needed adjusted.
Honestly, all I can say is a huge thank you so so much. I tried everything and yours is the only one that worked without having to buy or change anything. Top tip: if unsure if yours is clockwise or anti-clockwise, TRY BOTH
counter-clockwise ;)
Yes. I had to turn my screw clockwise to fix the problem.
Your video hit the nail on the head. We’ve had this toilet for 10 years and I never studied how it worked. I recently noticed the toilet didn’t stop running and realized the water was coming to the very top of the canister. I took your advice and turned the screw a few times counterclockwise, but nothing seemed to change😊. Then, I tried turning it a few more times and sure enough: the water stopped at the fill line. Maybe the fastest repair I ever made.
LOVE when I find someone who has mastered the art of how to teach/share information so even a 6yr old could figure it out! Thank you! 👏😃
Thanks from Australia! We had a pipe burst, and the plumber fixed this, but all day today the toilet was running and I knew something had impacted it when they turned the water off.
Your video was helpful, quick and easy to follow!
Used a phillips head and screwed anti clock wise and 🥳 Success! Perfect level for the water line.
Thanks very much!
Thank you so much! We’ve been having this issue for months and I had no idea how to fix it. Who knew it was such an easy fix! I appreciate you
Dear Leah - Sending GRATITUDE to you for explaining this so well succinctly!
I watched a few longer videos that were not helpful. Your video helped a 66 yo female fix the running problem on a brand new toilet I have been listening to for weeks. Feeling thankful to you and a enjoying a sense of relief that you helped me learn how to solve this problem! Shine on!
After 20 years, many parts replaced and giggling the handle every time I fixed it!! (Actually YOU did!). My family was speechless !
After 20 years!!!??? I believe u should throw that old toilet to the garbage and install new one !!! Why waste money for parts for old TOILET 🚽????
@@Shahron882 Please keep your nose out of her toilet.
@@Rich-kp1eu hahahaha. She's helping with💙 a suggestion for efficiency and conservation.. No? 😊
Omg. Thank you! My water bill has been $300+ over the normal amount for the past 2 months. You're a life saver!
Worked like a charm and saved me an expensive bill from the plumber! The other videos on this subject were lengthy and complicated. Thank you for posting this video. 🙂
THANK YOU! I have been putting up with an intermittent running toilet for MONTHS, but I was not familiar with the insides of this newer toilet so I did not know what to do. Watched this video, and VOILA! Subscribed!
Thank you so much!❤️ My toilet has been running for a couple weeks and I couldn’t take it anymore. Your instructions were superb and I was able to fix it myself! 🙏🏽✨
Ikr
My toilet was running for like 10 minutes and I couldn't take it anymore! I fixed mine using this video too!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I've been racking my brain for 6 months now trying to fix my running toilet. After trying to adjust the floater, completely cleaning and getting rid of all the gunk in the tank (twice! I know have the cleanest toilet tank in the World!), I was ready to give up. I had watched at least 50 videos of guys saying I had to do this and that, but none ever touched that adjustment button. Finally, I found you! You have no idea how grateful I am. Now, I'll teach that to my daughter so she'll know what to do if she ever gets the same problem with her toilet. When I think that some people can't figure it out and have to call a plumber!
Omg, Leah! I wish I had found this video months ago! It’s so clear and concise. All the other videos I saw had this complicated plumbing work. My toilet started running again last night and in frustration I broke the flapper. Hope you have a video on replacing it! Lol off to search now. -
*Edit - I did it!!
It fixed it! I had changed the gasket first, but didn’t stop the water from running. I didn’t know about changing the water level. Thank you so much!
You saved the the cost of a plumber $$
What the heck? How did you know about my toilet? Thanks this came at the best time.
Same here! my toilet running driving me crazy.
Whew! Peace
Yup! Today it started continuously running right before I was going to go do some weekend errands. Lol
Leah, you are great. I’m a widow living alone and your videos are a great help. Thank you so very much
I dreaded fixing the toilet for almost a month now, but i literally fixed it in seconds after watching this video. THANK YOU
Is it a phillips screwdriver or flat screwdriver? We don't have a phillips s rewdriver.
Today my wife told me that the toilet's been running. I did noticed the passed 2-3 days that it took a bit longer for the sound to go away after each flush. I'm no plumber but I do have some handyman in me. I just hopped on youtube to see if anyone has the best solution for a quick fix. That's when I came across your video, I did the adjustment and that fixed the issue. Leah, you're the best! I remembered coming across some of your videos a couple years ago and wow you have not aged one bit! I think the last video I watched from you was how to cut the floor boards. I was helping my parents out with remodeling a house at the time.
This was THE perfect video for what I needed. Thanks for being here!
I would like to commend, thank you, give you a hug for this adjustment. I watched a couple of other quite scary videos about how to replace everything, and purchased all the stuff. I watched your video this morning and quickly made the adjustment (My toilet had a knob to turn instead of a screw) It worked like magic!!!!! I am full of joy! (I will be 73 on Friday - you go girl!!)
Thank you sooooooo much! The jiggling of the handle wasn’t working and the dripping was slowly driving me bonkers! This simple “screw adjustment” tip did the trick!!! I greatly appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share 💗💗💗
Leah!!! You are awesome! Oh my word 12 years I've had this issue and oh my word. You are the only person who resolved the issue. I am so excited. I fixed it!!! I CAN DO It!! And I did!!!! Thank you thank you!
Wow. My water bill randomly increased. I figured out it was because my toilet never stops running. This video is so helpful! Fixed my issue! Thank you ❤
Thank you!!! 4years after your video, and I was able to fix my running toilet in less than 60secs. Amazing!
I cannot possibly thank you enough! I was able to fix my running toilet within minutes.
thank you so much! fixed my problem. this video is going to generate an infinite amount of likes since everyone is always going to have this problem. youve won youtube/the internet! 👍
Another marvellous video. Fancy a job being my personal psychic. You always seem to publish videos in the order I need them! Thank you Leah your a star 💫
Great job
Finally!!! I followed your instructions and after weeks of hearing the water continuously running I came across your video and at last, it stopped! Thank you!
I have put new guys in my toilets over the years, but Never remember the adjustment screws for later issues. Thanks Leah!!
I had seen this video and made a mental note to try this before buying parts to fix my niece's toilet. Unfortunately, Teflon brain occurred, meaning it didn't stick, and off I went to by the parts. But when I was about to start the repairs I saw the screw and I remembered what you said (temporary Teflon brain gone). I turned the screw! It took 3 attempts at adjusting the screw and TaDa, it worked! The toilet stopped running. What my niece really needs is a whole new toilet, but thanks to you she can get some sleep without hearing the toilet run all night until this tired old one can be replaced. I am now a subscriber so I'm gona see what else you've got. Thank you so much, you're a genius! And because of you my niece thinks I'm a genius too.
Welcome to the channel
Watched this video shortly after discovering your channel a few weeks ago out of curiosity while laying in bed thinking “I don’t have a broken toilet now, but I should know this”. That was a few weeks ago and today I encountered a broken toilet and thought “hey, I know how to do this now!” so I fixed it up and it was no big deal. Thank you Leah!!!!!
Thank you so much for helping me. My toilet been running for weeks. I used this method and it magically stopped. God bless you and thank you again
Nice, concise and to the point. Most would have made this 3 minute video a 10 minute one. Great editing as well. Thanks
Words out of my mouth.
very simple fix. I tried to read & understand & visualize this problem & the solution..
this video was very helpful - I should have checked for this video WEEKS ago..!
thank you, seeJane..!
Thanks so much! Anything that helps save water, even up here in Seattle, is always a blessing. 💙☔️👍🏼
Howdy neighbor....we certainly get our fair share.
Put a brick in your tank
I have had a running toilet for a few months now. Found this amazing video and it worked beautifully !! Thank you so much Leah.
I love your channel!!!
You rally behind those of us who aren't master plumbers, electricians, or carpenters; without making me feel like a moron. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate learning from you! XOXOX
It's my pleasure
A million thank yous are not enough. You’ve taught me something new and empowered me to do it successfully! A huge thank you all the way from the UK!
Wow! Much hardware development since the simple flapper mechanism days. And was that a bidet hose on the left? Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
You noticed the hose....ahhhh you're very perceptive.
Leah, simply brilliant in explaining a solution to a common problem. Well done!!!!
This video is sooooo helpful for a single parent God bless you
So glad I found this video! I just replaced the flapper to stop my toilet from running, but the next day I could still hear it running. It took several counterclockwise turns to get it to the right water level, but now no more leaking! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video.
Have a wonderful time, Leah. Blessings to you and yours. ♥️
Thanks so much for posting this. Allowed me to fix a toilet that had been running for a couple of days immediately! Awesome!
Leah do you have anything out there on how to replace the guts in your your toilet?
I've done a lot of toilet videos but not that one yet.
@@seejanedrill Leah will you be doing one?
Thank you!!!! The water was running in my parents toilet ALL DAY and they’re out of town, so happy I could do this quick fix for them!!
Leah you saved a lot of folks a lot of money👍👍 Grandpa Tom
My toilet tank wasn't filling so I checked on RUclips and watched a video that suggested the problem was either with the seal at the bottom of the tank (the flapper) or the fill valve. I happend to see your video listed under "Related" and clicked on it. I decided that, before buying new parts or, more likely, calling a plumber, I would try tightening/loosening the fill valve's adjustment screw. Guess what? It worked! You saved me at least $50 in parts or hundreds for a plumber (I know zero about plumbing)! Thank you!
Clear and concise. Brilliant presentation!
Thank you, I fix the issue. Some DIY youtube videos are so lengthy but is not direct to the point. Your way was able to fix the issue I have immediately. Again, thank you!
You are such a great teacher :) I always love your videos!
Thanks Miss Leah, you are the Best for teaching us this trick. You got rid of my peskey problem and saved me $$ on my next water bill! Bless you! 💜
Thanks for this video. I love learning how to DIY things for myself. Blessings 😃🛐🕊🌏🇺🇸💟
Thank you! I love your easy to follow directions and showing the procedure on a real toilet! I’m so thankful I found your video this morning!! ❤
Exactly what i needed...you read my mind!!!
Thank you, it was driving me nuts and I'm too proud to ask for help! PERFECT solution, so grateful.
I'm going in the bathroom and do this 😩 I really hope this is all it takes thank you
I hope so too. If not there are other SJD videos on the subject for older toilets.
Thank you so much for your video... I am at work and just got a new position as a make ready technician and I didn't know what to do because the toilet kept running but I just watched your video and it help me.... Thank you you are a God sent angel!!!☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
Wow, I have this issue right now!
thank you I’m having this exact problem so now I know you saved me from calling someone to fix it I really appreciate it 😊👍🏼
Leah, I was showing this video to my son. He asked me what clockwise and counterclockwise meant. . .I hit him with a can of Ensure (Joking!)
My mother went to McDonald's and ordered a half dozen mcnuggets. The cashier said what is a half dozen? My mother had to give her a quick math lesson.
