Why does my toilet periodically run for a few seconds?
Why does my toilet periodically run for a few seconds? If your toilet randomly runs off and on for a few seconds, it is likely due to a broken flapper. While the flapper is supposed to drop down and re-seal the tank when enough water has gone through, a cracked or decaying flapper will allow water to keep flowing through and run periodically. Why does my toilet run even when I am not in the toilet? It can happen even when the toilet isn’t in use. A Ghost flush occurs when a leak depletes the water supply in the tank....
