What the customer called about
A homeowner in Catoosa, ZIP code 74015, was trying to replace the fill valve in a half-bathroom toilet. The toilet's shutoff valve would not close all the way, so they could not shut off the water to empty the tank for the repair.
What our plumber found
We found an existing multi-turn shutoff valve serving the Toto toilet. It was not fully stopping the water supply, so the shutoff needed attention before the planned fill valve repair.
How we fixed it
We shut off the water to the house and removed the old multi-turn toilet shutoff valve. We installed a new quarter-turn shutoff valve in its place.
What this means for your home
Before starting a toilet tank repair, make sure the toilet's shutoff valve fully stops the incoming water. If water keeps entering the tank, address the shutoff first rather than relying on it to isolate the toilet.
