"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

No one wants to discover a leaky toilet tank in their home. Not only is it an inconvenience to your daily routine; you may not know how to fix it. Luckily, the plumbers at Mitch Wright Plumbing, Heating and Air are here with tips to patch things up. 

• Locate the shutoff valve at the bottom of the tank. Shut the water off by turning the valve clockwise.
• Drain the tank by flushing the toilet. A sponge can be used to clean up the excess water.
• Hold the tank bolt nut. Use a wrench to hold the nut which is underneath the tank bolt.
• Take a screwdriver and unscrew the tank bolts. This should be done for the second bolt as well.
• The tank should be removed from the bowl. Lay it on a flat surface.
• Remove the spud washer with an adjustable wrench. Put a new spud washer over the spud nut.
• Take off the bolts and gaskets. Put a new gasket onto each bolt.
• Put the bolts through the holes on the bottom of the tank. Then, reinstall the nuts. 
• Last but certainly not least, replace the tank on the bowl.
