What happens here

With the toilet tank lid removed, the internal components are visible. The video specifically points out the flapper and its chain. The problem is identified as the flapper chain being caught underneath the flapper, preventing it from properly sealing the flush valve opening. This allows water to continuously leak from the tank into the toilet bowl, causing the running sound and wasting water. Understanding this specific issue (a caught chain) is key to a simple and effective fix.

Goal: Visually confirm the flapper chain is interfering with the flapper's seal.
