I live in an apartment complex, and in two different units, in which the toilets have overflowed without stopping, until I intervened. The first time was in the middle of the night, and when I awoke hours later, the floor and carpet was soaked.
This has happened recently in the unit that I now occupy, but fortunately I caught it much earlier, but still had to wade through the flood.
I fully understand the cause and solution for a stopped up toilet, but I don't understand how it is possible for the water to be allowed to continue running after the tank has been emptied, especially since this only seems to happen when the toilet has become stopped up.
Is there something about a toilet's design that would cause this problem? I have never run into this problem before.
