In need of a plumbers advice!!

[KawisakiRider]

Ok, so I just got this new house, it has four toilets and all of them run, how do I fix them?????

They constantly run into the bowl and drain. Do I need new toilets or just internal parts??

I know nothing about plubbing so any advice would help, thnx.

open the lid to the tank, adjust your float too easy

sorry I'm not a plumber. I'm an electrician/ instrument mechanic

Ok so it's a little more serious than I though. where exactly is it running? may have to change out the control valve. Or just take it apart and clean the rust out of it

yep just a float adjustment...flush and watch and make sure any float mechanism (arm,ball etc)is not hanging up anywhere...several differant type of floats..screw adjustment generally on all,a few newer ones have a stem/float height adjustment with collar lock that may have slipped...and some you can get away with bending an arm...and sometimes its not your float at all but is your flapper valve not sealing or not allowed to go down because chain to handle is to short or hanging up..if diaphram in float screwed well just change it...same as flapper

All four seemed strange to me too, but one is so bad I shut off the water to it. I tried all the floats (screw adjust) and didn't seem to help.

The house was built in 2006 and don't know if this was going on since it was built or if it is relatively recent.

Sorry dude, can't add anymore than has already been stated. The only thing I know about plumbing is that water goes down, and chit stinks.
