Hi everyone, I'm a super newbie! Our toilet was randomly flushing a couple of months ago... so after some googling, it seemed that our fill valve was gone. Our house is 7 years old, so it seemed reasonable. I ordered one online and watched some Youtube videos and replaced it.
Not long after that, it started hissing and filling up slowly. Only lasted a couple of days and then worked fine for probably a month to two. Then it started hissing and filling up slowly on every fill... did some more googling and I thought maybe the flapper was gone. So I ordered a flapper and replaced it this morning.
No change at all... the hissing actually seems to be coming from the metal cord coming from the ground to the toilet. And if I go to the washroom on the other side of the wall, it's even really loud in there, almost like it's in the floor if that makes sense?
Also what's odd is that if I shut off the water to the toilet for a few hours... the next 4 or 5 flushes are fine. No hiss and it fills up quickly. Then boom it comes back right away.
I tried disconnecting the hose to the toilet and letting it run for a few seconds with just filling up a big bowl and it still hisses.
Any suggestions here? Or do I need to call a plumber? Thanks!!
