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, check the tank parts and water supply first. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling handles toilet repair with same-day and 24/7 emergency service in Crawfordsville.

Quick checks:

• Lift the tank lid and reseat the flapper. Ensure the chain isn’t too tight or loose.
• Make sure the water shutoff valve is fully open.
• Confirm the float is moving freely so the tank fills to the proper level.
• Tighten a loose handle or reconnect the handle lever to the chain.
• If the fill valve hisses or won’t refill, it may need replacement.
