Your home is made up of a complex, interconnected system of pipes, drains and appliances that use and discharge water.

In the bathrooms you may have a bathtub, shower, toilet, bidet, sink.

If you’ve ever had a toilet that continually won’t stop running, you know what a nuisance it can be. Not only is it noisy, but it is also an unnecessary waste of water.

Most modern toilets have an overflow drain at the back. If the water flowing in is not coming in faster than the water flowing out via the overflow drain, the toilet won’t actually overflow. But it’s still a problem that needs fixing.
