Can I replace a toilet fill valve myself without professional help?
Yes, many homeowners can replace a toilet fill valve with basic tools. Shut off the water, drain the tank, and install the new valve per the kit instructions. If the valve still runs, you see leaks at the base, the shut-off will not turn, or flushing stays weak, schedule service. We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing in Lafayette and West Lafayette with upfront pricing. If your toilet is 10–15 years old and needs frequent fixes, replacement may be smarter. Tip: use a food-coloring tank test to spot slow leaks.
