Can I replace a toilet fill valve myself without professional help?

Yes, many homeowners can replace a toilet fill valve with basic tools if the shutoff valve works and tank parts aren’t corroded. If the shutoff is stuck, parts are rusted, the toilet still runs after replacement, or you see leaks at the tank-to-bowl connection, bring in a pro. Tri-State installs and upgrades toilets with proper alignment and connections to prevent leaks in St. Louis–area homes.

• Quick check: Shut off water. Drain tank. Swap the fill valve per the kit. Refill and check for leaks.
