What should I do if my toilet won't flush but is not clogged?

If your toilet won’t flush and there’s no clog, the problem is usually in the tank or water supply. Check the handle linkage, flapper seal, water level/float, fill valve, and the shutoff valve. Apollo Plumbing repairs toilets 24/7 and arrives with stocked vans, backed by a written guarantee, across Seattle, Everett, and nearby areas.

Quick checks:

• Reconnect a loose chain between handle and flapper.
• Ensure the flapper seals and isn’t warped.
• Confirm the float lets the tank fill.
• Open the water shutoff fully.
• Clean the fill valve or call if it hisses or sticks.
