I live in a high-rise condo and am responsible for my own internal home repairs.
Problem 1 started about 1 year ago, with tank overflowing. A small amount ofinvestigation on my own part found that the "ball" had a crack in it, over time filled with water, and stopped floating. So I bought a new one, read the instructions and replaced it myself.
Problem 2 started two weeks ago (yes I know I should have addressed this then) with a horrible squealing noise coming from the tank. It starts off as a low squeal and builds to a torturous sound. I take the lid off, use a screw-driver and adjust the screw to get the squeal to stop. Within 5 minutes it will start again. It only seems to happen in the middle of the night (of course I am out at work all day so have no clue what is happening then...)
Do I need to replace the whole mechanism in the tank? Should I bring in a professional? Could my replacement of the "ball" not been done properly ( I am NO handy-woman!) thus causing this new problem down the line?
I need help. The 2am wake-up squeals are a drag.....
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!!
