One of the most frustrating home repair plumbing problems is that of a leaky toilet flush valve.

The symptoms of a bad valve include a constantly refilling flush tank caused by tank water leaking through the flush valve into the toilet. As the water leaks, the tank water level falls and the toilet ballcock fills it back up again. It's a wasteful and annoying problem.

Fortunately it's an easy fix if you know how and use the right kit. The tutorial Repairing a Leaky Toilet Tank Flush Valve describes an easy repair for a leaky toilet tank drain flush valve using the Fluidmaster 555C "Flusher Fixer." For under $10 you get a quiet toilet again and stop leaking water down the drain.
