A toilet that doesn’t fill up after flushing means that it is completely useless for modern usage which is frankly a great problem since buying another toilet is not the main option or alternative for lots of people, then you should be at least informed about what is causing this particular problem and in that way, you should be prepared to do your best in fixing it or looking for what can you do with the toilet, the point is that knowing the source of the problem is the best that we can do at this moment, so stay tuned.

Reasons Why the Toilet won’t Refill:

Broken or Cracked Toilet Bowl.

Surprisingly, this is one of the common cause of this kind of problem since one of the last things that someone could expect is a broken toile bowl since there is no reason to mess with this important part of the toilet unless you out some heavy important things on top of it which could be the reason why it gets broken. If you think about it just a little you will get to the conclusion that a cracked toilet bowl will cause a loss of water that could be spilling from behind or in the cracked parts, so if you start seeing extra water in the floor or even in the wall, then you should check the bowl, sadly, the solution is to replace the bowl if the plumber is not capable of fixing it.

Damage in the Filling Tube.

If the last one was common, then this possibility is maybe the responsible in 90% of the cases since filling tubes can be a little fragile when some certain groups of things happen at the same point and is at that moment where the filling tube decides to break and get finished its life span, leaving you with a big problem that only can be solved if you notice it. Thankfully, in some occasions, the problem is just that the filling tube is unplugged from the point where the water comes after the toile has been flushed, so if you contact a professional plumber the problem can be solved with some minor effort or in the worst scenario you will change the tube but don’t worry, they are not so expensive.

Fill Valve Broken or Severely Damaged.

Sadly, this is the worst possible scenario that could take place in your toilet refilling problem since this valve is a vital point of the toilet (like the previous ones that were discussed) with the slight difference that this valve will cost some money to get fixed.  It will need to be repaired to the point where it works again, or maybe if you are a lucky then the problem will simply just be that you forgot to open the valve like it was supposed to. However, most of the time work will be required, so always try to discard this option as being the responsible one, in this way to ease your mind.
