It's Halloween you may watch a scary movie Today, You will see a few Kids dressed up like ghosts and goblins, the scariest thing you can today besides wall to wall Election coverage, is Peering into the Dark abyss of your toilet bowl to see the water line slowly rising and rising. That will make your Vagus Nerve go crazy. If your toilet is overflowing, there are several steps you can take to stop the flooding and assess the source of the problem. If the toilet begins to overflow immediately after a flush, it’s likely that the toilet itself is clogged. First, stop the flow of water into the toilet to minimize flood damage. Remove the tank lid and press down on the flapper valve (don’t worry, the water inside the tank is clean). This will prevent any more water from getting into the bowl, stopping water from overflowing over the sides. Once you’ve secured the flapper valve, lift the float that operates the tank fill valve to stop the tank from filling. Hold these in place for about a minute to cut off the toilet bowl water supply and allow the water level to return to normal. If the water level doesn’t start to drop, turn off the water valve behind the base of the toilet by turning it clockwise. cases, a few pumps of the plunger will release the clog and allow the toilet to flush properly. If plunging and clearing the drain doesn’t stop the overflowing problem, you’ll have to take a look inside the toilet tank. If your toilet overflows even without flushing, it’s possible that the clog is somewhere else in a drainpipe, possibly your main drain or sewer line. In this situation, running water from any other source in the house can’t escape and backflows to the lowest exit in the system--your toilet. If you have a private septic system, it’s possible that the septic tank is full.
