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

If your toilet won’t flush and there’s no clog, the issue is usually in the tank or water supply. Check the shutoff valve, the handle/chain connection, the flapper seal, and the fill level. Our licensed plumbers service Newton and Framingham and can fix these quickly.

Quick checks:

• Open the water shutoff valve fully.
• Remove the tank lid and confirm the handle lifts the chain freely.
• Reseat or replace a worn flapper.
• Adjust the float so the tank fills properly.
• Ensure the refill tube points into the overflow.
