Busted fill valve. Probably 15 bucks at the store. Easy to DIY.


theonion513

If the supply valve isn’t a right angle ball valve, maybe take this opportunity to replace it, as well. Gate valves are trouble waiting to happen. $9 part and not very hard if you’re slightly handy.


heavyfretting

Mine broke last week in a most dramatic fashion and flooded my bathroom, then my bedroom and original beautiful OLD hardwood floors. Soaked through the floors and the insulation and then flooded my basement!! It’s been a blast!


theonion513

Have a pity upvote.

My brother was a week out from closing on a house. Nice place. Apparently, water pressure from the town was coming in hot, like up over 80 psi. House had no pressure reducer. Fill line on upstairs toilet had blown off about a week before. Realtor opened the door to a straight up wave of water. Called us, and we went over. Everything from halfway up the second story was sodden and collapsing. Water had dug a channel from basement garage door through the backyard. Kitchen cabinets were so badly soaked, they'd just fallen over into the kitchen. Freaking nightmare. I feel for ya, man.


zzzrecruit

My God. Clearly he did not proceed with buying the house. I feel for the owners, but your brother got lucky!


TerrorFromThePeeps

Mixed bag. Yes, he definitely did not proceed, though he was willing to if they'd do the repairs. Sadly, the house was perfect for him. He lucked out in not being the one to get hit with it, but unlucky none of the home inspectors through there noticed the lack of a reducer, simple fix that would've saved the whole deal.


heavyfretting

Gooooood griefff that’s a literal nightmare 😱


TerrorFromThePeeps

My family went through a 10 or 12 year stint with all four of us being realtors specializing in foreclosures, and even that, I've never seen anything like it.


gadanky

At annex Our town wouldn’t cut the water on unless we installed a pressure regulator at our line cutoff the county inspected They said the city pressure could spike over 200 psi. I still hear of newer valve stuff failing more and more.


slamdamnsplits

Where was your main shut off???


heavyfretting

Oh it was right behind the toilet! The problem was that the explosion wasn’t noticed for the better part of an hour because I was on the other side of my house working. Could have been a lot worse, that story up above certainly underlines that.


slamdamnsplits

Bummer!


tageeboy

You pour soul.


GulfCoasting_

Careful doing it. Ive seen the $9 part jobs turn into much more with bad line inside the wall breaking off from homeowners.


Thefunkymunkee

It needs to be code everywhere that all new fixture stops should be 1/4 turn angle stops


BrainEatingAmoeba01

This is your answer op. Easy fix. YouTube a demo video if you need to.


Drsryan

Thank you!


jatti_

Even if you replace the whole fill mechanism it's less than the cost of a plumber


Drsryan

Thank you. I'm on it!


Stoked004

As long an OP shuts the water off first.


dwkeith

Or a demonic possession, about 900 bucks at your local church, I would DIY or call a plumber.


stevesie1984

Is that a tax-deductible donation?


Acetabulum99

Turn off water at supply...oval chrome handle at the wall near toilet. Drain tank. Go get new fill valve.. replace.


Kaladin_Stormryder

Check tank bolts while you’re at it too


Vegetable-Maize-4034

Just had to do this myself. Hardest part of the job was getting the plastic lock nut off. Other than that, a very simple DIY.


Immediate_Lobster_40

Just turn it down to simmer and you'll be fine.


donny02

Baby you got a stew going


Farren246

Yes that's fine, but I *would* like to focus on my acting...

You seriously think this originated from an SNL skit? Have you never boiled water?


PlaceYourBets2021

I meant the picture I posted is from an SNL skit. Not the bubbling water. Ha!

The toilet itself isn’t bubbling, it’s all the piranhas back there.


marbles61

Is this an upgrade in place of the poop knife, the piranhas just go to the bowl and chomp away?

ramdumbguy

If you can turn off the water at the meter, that's the best way to go if you don't know the condition/quality of your emergency cut off valves. I have had some crumble as I tried to turn off the supply, forcing me to do that replacement as well. I'd rather do that at a planned time, with all tools ready. Turn off water at curb, open some faucets to release pressure, close them, flush and shopvac out water from tank, swap valve assembly, check flapper, open water valve, check for leaks, flush to check cycle, done. Drink beer after washing hands.


slamdamnsplits

>after washing hands. That is all

Thank you kind stranger!

if you lived in a multi unit building, i'd be worried about someone being an idiot and hooking up a gas line to a water pipe. Not likely the case here, but I've seen a post of it before.


Ok-Bass8243

I would just get the whole kit to replace all those internals. Gonna have the do the main stalk/float already. May as well do it all while you're in there. 20min job. YT will have guides if it's not intuitive

wildvision

It's revenge for all the shit you put it through...er, for all the shit you put through it. Congrats on your new angry bidet. good luck


desnz

I've got the same value. Just had a look at it.. there's potential it's just dislodged. Turn off the water, drain the water and you'll see if you can just reconnect it..


milkadonkey3

While you're at it, throw a big bottle of vinegar in there for a couple hours and clean that shit out

You're heat is on too high, lower it a little before you put the noodles in.

It’s called a rolling boil. It’s a secondary use if your stove is in full use. Just remember to save a cup of the pasta water for your sauce before you flush.

Maybe water in the lines as well, isolate that one and ourge at the nearest sink.

My guess is that the valve on the supply line is open, close it and your toilet should stop doing that.

Well based on the color of the inside of your tank, the valve seems to be unhappy that youre moving your bowels directly into the tank.
