    My toilet not filling with water
    When I flush my toilet it is not refilling with water, and the water to the toilet is on what should I do at home before having to call a plumber?

    It is likely that your flush valve (the tall thing standing up) needs adjusted, or it has just failed.

    The 400A valve we use is about $5 and can be replaced in 15 minutes even if you've never done it before.
