How do you know if your flush valve is leaking?

Why do my water pipes make a noise when I flush the toilet?
When you flush your toilet, water runs through the pipes quickly. But as the toilet finishes filling up, it suddenly closes a valve, causing water the crash against it. This creates noise and vibration, sometimes causing the pipe to bang against the wall (aka the water hammer).
Why does my toilet scream when I flush?
It rises during a flush to empty out water and create the pressure needed for drawing more water into the toilet. Under the seat ball is the flush valve seat.

Why does toilet paper comes back up after flushing?
The flopper or ball can be waterlogged or damaged and closing before all the water is out of the tank. Finally, check the holes in the rim or the jet tube in the trap below the water line. For the jet tube below the water line in the toilet trap, use the acid cleaner.
Why does my toilet fill valve keep running?
The water level in the tank is controlled by an adjustable float. A float that’s set too low produces a weak flush; if it’s set too high, water spills into the toilet overflow tube and the fill valve won’t shut off. The toilet keeps running. Keep adjusting the float until the water shuts off at the proper level.
Why is my flush valve leaking?
If the flapper is worn or the seat that the flapper rests on is damaged, the water level will stop just below the flapper. If the gasket that seals the flush valve into the tank is deteriorated and leaking, the water would most likely drain completely out of the tank.
