Check the water level inside the tank to be sure the tank isn't overfilling and spilling into the overflow tube.

Also check the flapper valve (the rubber valve at the bottom of the tank that sits over the flush hole and is connected to the flush handle) to be sure it is holding and not leaking.

Make sure the handle chain that goes to the flapper valve isn't tangled up and holding the flapper valve partially open.

I installed a new water-saver toilet last year. It worked fine until a few months ago. Now the bowl level stays really low and is doesn't flush properly.

Water is not draining completely from the toilet line to the sewage tank. If there is a 'low/little slope' section anywhere in that drain line, solids WILL settle and collect there and cause water to back-up in the toilet drain line. Then the toilet will not flush completely or at all until the 'soft blockage' is cleared out and the drain line emptied. Al 'gravity drain' toilets require a free draining/empty drain line that allows flush water to drain unrestricted. A basement toilet has a pump that 'forces' flush water up and out with enough pressure to sometimes force out the 'soft clog.'

Toilet leak Toilet sometimes leaks down the drain. No water on the floor. I can hear it dripping. Put food coloring in the tank and no color in the bowl over night.

There will never be a dripping sound from the bowl unless there is water on the floor indicating a cracked bowl or a gasket has lived its life and needs replacing . The flush kit could drip though, Most likely an indication to adjust the level of the float or perhaps even replace the kit altogether, Never hearing the tank fill up is not related to dripping.

Re. Duravit Happy D toilet (tank No. 0929100005)

Remove and clean the flush valve and the flush valve seat(it is the flap that opens up to allow water to flush the toilet). Once the edges of the valve and the seat are cleaned, possibly with "0000" grit bulldog steel wool, it should not leak anymore. To make sure it is not leaking, once tank has refilled completely, put some food die in the tank. If, after 10-15 minutes, the water in the toilet bowl is colored, you have a leak from the flush valve. Replacing the flush valve is very easy - just bring the old one with you to the hardware/plumbing store and ask for a replacement. Blessings and good luck!!

Toilet flushed then dripping sound at floor level

If you;re sure its under the toilet, look for a crack in the base, especially around the retianing bolts, or the wax bowl seal is gone, needs replacing.

Toilet Problems: One has Noisy flush & two others drip at rate of about two drips per second

Do you have a way to check your water pressure each of these problems could be caused by excessive pressure you may need to install pressure adjustment valve if you can't find another way

Toilet has dripping sound - NOT the flapper

As long as the chain on the flapper is slack after it flushes it will seal.
then put some weight on the flapper just to experiment to ensure a tight seal.
if you can see the drain elbow under the toilet in the basement with the ceiling exposing the drain that would be the guaranteed way to know for sure. I am assuming you have done that.
Last but not least the small line on the fill valve that goes into the overflow could be weeping from the fill valve as this is the bowl wash.. So it will drip or sometimes it runs a bit . If this helps

I have a new Kohler Toilet that has a different flushing system from other Toilets. It's about 1 year old now and I'm noticing a Drip noise on the 1st floor under this Toilet. It looks to me like the water...

Basically, if water is flowing out of the overflow tube, then water must be coming in...I would suggest that you check the intake valve, it is probably not shutting off completely when the float comes up to the prescribed level,and continues to leak some water into the tank. That is what the overflow tube is there for.

I can hear a dripping of water but the washer is fine. The water tap is turned down low, I'm a female and not familiar with the makings of a toilet cistern how does the centre flushing mechanism come out....

Anytime that you have water dripping between flush cycles, it is caused by water leaking through the flush valve. Without being able to look at it I would recommend placing the entire flush valve assembly (flush ball/plunger and the valve seat (washer). The part is not expensive, although the labor may be. You could replace the flush ball or plunger (whichever type it is) yourself and that may correct the problem.
