My toilet, a few times a day starts running water for a few seconds then stops. How do I fix it?

    Definitely try just wiping it off first tho…

    Just the flap and the gasket it seats into, wipe it down with a wet paper towel, see if it still does it

    You can also try adjusting the linkage (chain length) sometimes a flap “floats down” slowly because there’s still some water. And that might be causing issues.

    Anytime you fuck with a toilet, you want to try the least invasive methods first and work your way up.

    Shit can get out of hand quickly and you may end up replacing everything and still experiencing the same issue.
