One of the more common plumbing problems we see is a slow-filling toilet. Depending on the water pressure, a toilet tank should refill in around 3 minutes.
If the toilet tank is slow to fill, the first thing to check is the shut-off valve located behind the toilet. Make sure it is fully open for maximum flow. If the valve is fully open, try cleaning the pump and valve inside the toilet tank. Mineral buildup can cause the parts to stick. If the toilet has an older-style ball cock assembly, replace it with a new fill valve and float cup design.
If none of the above fixes work, call ABC Plumbing. We can find the cause and recommend solutions.
