Problem: Article: If the water level of the tank is not surpassing the overflow tube, but you still hear or see excess water flowing into the bowl, it's time to check the flapper. The flapper is a round rubber seal that sits at the bottom of the tank. Its purpose is to stop the water inside the tank from entering the toilet bowl.Turn off the water supply valve near the toilet, and check if the water level in the tank decreases. If there is a decrease after 15-20 minutes, the problem could be due to the flapper. There could either be a leak in the flapper, or the chain may be too tight.
Summary: Test the flapper.
