I tried shortening the chain but the the flapper never seals. How can I fix?
it depends on type of toilet, at big box diy stores you can get all the pieces to put in a new one-and you can google the how to videos to get it done. first is getting water out of the tank, so you can get a look where to reconnect the flush valve and flapper they are in the upper tank.
