When it comes to repairing a toilet supply line, it's easy! This part of the toilet carries the water into the tank and enables the flush function.

But what happens when you're over 80 years old? Do you have extreme back problems? Minimal tasks like fixing and replacing a supply line are more than difficult tasks which is why our client needed help. Fortunately, he was up to date with today's technology and looked up "toilet repair near me" on Google—and thus he saw our plumbing service. 

After contacting us, we hurried to his location immediately as this is not something he should do due to his age. After quickly fixing and replacing the issue, he thanked us for our friendly and affordable services and would gladly call upon us again if he needed help with his plumbing.

Why Is My Toilet Leaking And How To Repair It?

A leaking water supply line can either be simply fixed or replaced with a new one. A water supply line is the supply tube itself, not the supply valve, which is connected to the wall. As we have stated above, you can fix this issue with ease without the need for a plumbing service. 

There are many reasons why your supply line is leaking, which are rust buildup, wear, and tear, cracked or loose threads, and washers, loose valve fittings, cracked supply line, and more. It can also be damaged by being bent or accidentally kicked and will cause leaks. Now how can you fix this issue? It's easy, just follow these simple steps!

Turning Off The Water Supply Valve

Turning off the water supply line is a very important part of any plumbing job, whether you're replacing a sink stopper or fixing a leaky pipe. If you don't shut off the water, it's possible that water will continue to flow and cause damage. You might not see the damage immediately, but once you're sure that everything is working correctly, you'll notice puddles in your basement or mold growing on your walls.

By shutting off the supply line to your toilet, you eliminate this possibility entirely and ensure that your home is safe from any damage.

Inspect If There Are Any Loose Nuts Or Water Supply Valve Fittings

You don't need to be a plumber or handyman to fix a leaky toilet. When it comes to toilets, the nuts and bolts are mostly what holds everything together. Loose fittings and supply lines can be the cause of a leaky toilet. The pressure from the water rushing into the bowl creates a force that builds up enough tension to loosen even the strongest fittings. The key to fixing this problem is tightening everything after cleaning, which will stop future leaks.

The best solution is to keep those nuts and bolts tight so you won't have to worry about your toilet leaking anymore.

Inspect If The Threads And Washers Are Worn Out

The threads and washers that seal the water supply valve in your bathroom are likely to wear out quicker than anything else in your bathroom. Their job is to seal the water supply valve, making sure that everything is sealed and tight so no leaks can occur. But once these little guys are worn out then you need to replace them with new ones. Applying a thread sealing tape will further add protection to avoid any future leaks.

Water Supply Line Replacement

Now that you've done all these steps and there are still pesky leaks coming out of your water supply line, you may need to replace the supply line entirely. And here's how you can do it! But first, you may need a bowl for catching the leak, a wrench, and a replacement water supply line. 

• Place the bowl underneath the water supply line to catch the leaks.
• Turn off the water supply valve by turning it clockwise until it can no longer turn (Keep in mind that you must not turn it any further if it can no longer turn). If there is still water coming out of your supply valve, turn off the main water valve for your home. 
• Flush down all the water accumulated in your toilet tank.
• Use your wrench to loosen the nut that’s connecting the water supply valve and the water supply line as well as the Bullock Nut that connects the water supply line to the toilet tank. 
• Attach the nut of the replacement water supply line to the water supply valve, turning it counterclockwise to tighten. 
• Attach the replacement water supply line’s Bullock Nut to the toilet tank and tighten it counter-clockwise as well.
• Once you’ve tightened all of them to ensure there will be no leaks from your replacement water supply line, turn on the water supply valve by turning it counterclockwise for the water to flow. Be sure to check for any leaks after you’ve turned it on.
