Why does my toilet keep running after a flush?
Usually the inlet valve not shutting off, or the outlet valve seal not sealing. Both are common parts and both are generally a straightforward repair rather than a new suite.

What Is Involved
Toilet Repairs help in Kenwick
The parts inside a cistern are cheap; the water a faulty one wastes is not. MLC Plumbing repairs the valve or seal that has failed, sets the water level correctly, and tests both the flush and the refill before leaving.
Kenwick sits close to both residential streets and commercial activity, so plumbing work can involve household fixtures, workplace amenities, blocked drains or maintenance checks before a property changes hands. Locally that means homes, rentals and small commercial premises sit side by side, so the same street can need household repairs and workplace amenities checked.
There is a fuller write-up of what this work involves if you want the detail before booking anything.
Signs your toilet needs a look
- The cistern keeps filling long after a flush
- A button or handle that sticks or has to be held down
- A damp patch on the floor that keeps coming back
- A faint hiss from the cistern between flushes
What usually fails
- Worn inlet valves, outlet valves, seals or buttons
- Foreign objects or too much paper causing blockages
- A cistern no longer filling to the right water level

Good to Know
Toilet Repairs questions, answered
Is a blocked toilet a toilet problem or a drain problem?
Either. If other fixtures are slow as well, the drain line is the likely culprit. If it is only the toilet, it is usually the pan or the trap.
Should I stop using the toilet while it is blocked?
Yes. Flushing repeatedly against a blockage risks overflowing the pan. Turn the isolation tap off at the wall if water is rising and leave it until it can be looked at.
Do you cover Kenwick?
Yes. Kenwick sits inside the regular MLC Plumbing service area, along with the surrounding suburbs. Call 0448 471 377 or request a callback and you will be dealing with the plumber who does the work.
