What should I do if my toilet won't flush but is not clogged?

If your toilet won’t flush but isn’t clogged, the problem is usually the tank parts or water supply. Check a few basics before calling.

Quick checks:

• Open the tank: confirm the lift chain is attached with slight slack.
• Inspect the flapper: it should seal and move freely.
• Water supply: ensure the shutoff valve is fully open and the tank refills to the mark.
• Handle: tighten or reattach if loose. If it still won’t flush, we offer same-day and 24/7 plumbing in Kokomo and nearby areas.
