• Its extremely frustrating when the toilet
  wouldnt flush all the way. It uses up a lot of
  water plus it gets a tedious task to make sure
  the toilet bowl is clean. If you happen to have a
  problematic toilet that wouldnt flush in the
  first go, may be its time to replace it.
  Although, first you need to figure out whats
  causing the issue. There can be several reasons
  for it. Check them out below

Broken lift chain

• A good possibility is that the toilet lift chain
  is broken or stretched too much. lift the lid on
  the back of your toilet seat to check. If there
  is an issue with the chain, it wont let the
  flapper rise to the full level that allows water
  to fully flush. Most plumbing service companies
  can fix the chain effortlessly, so its best to
  get in touch with your local plumber.

A Worn Flapper

• The rubber flapper is at the bottom of the toilet
  tank. The flapper raises to let water empty into
  the bowl from the toilet tank. It goes back down
  to hold the water in the tank. However, if the
  flapper is worn out or old, it wont go all the
  way down, preventing the water to stay in the
  bowl. This makes the water leak from the tank and
  doesnt leave enough water in the bowl which is
  why you need to flush repeatedly. The best is to
  call your local plumber to replace the flapper
  with a new one as soon as possible to prevent
  further water leakage.

Hard water buildup

• Sometimes, hard water buildup in the toilet bowl
  can pull down the water flow in the tank. The
  build of minerals like magnesium often obstruct
  the flow of water to the tank. This prevents full
  volume and pressure of the water into the bowl
  from the tank and thus creates flushing problems.
  To unclog the toilet from buildup, you may need
  to insert a wire manually. This can be tricky and
  its best not to do it yourself but hire a
  professional plumber.

Insufficient water level

• Its simple, if all others things are okay, but
  there is not enough water in your tank, you wont
  be able to flush the toilet. There should be at
  least an inch of water above the overflow tube.
  If your toilet has a float ball, raise the ball a
  little so the water level goes up with it. This
  will enable you to flush the toilet without a
  problem.
• All these plumbing problems are real and
  extremely annoying. While you may be frustrated
  and want to fix it yourself, its best to get in
  touch with a plumbing service company near you. A
  professional can do the job efficiently, without
  breaking the parts in the tanks. Make sure you
  hire a qualified and experienced plumber, you
  wouldnt want to handover the job to someone with
  poor skills just because they offer cheap
  service. Its good to never compromise when it
  comes to plumbing!
