Summary

Power issues and a running toilet can disrupt a bathroom’s daily use. This project called for a new GFCI outlet installation and a toilet flapper replacement, both needed to restore safety and function.

The Work

Diagnosed a non-working bathroom outlet and installed a new GFCI outlet for improved safety
Replaced a worn toilet flapper and adjusted the chain to fix a persistent leak
Tested all work to confirm proper operation before finishing up

The Outcome

The bathroom now has a safe, reliable power source near the sink and the toilet functions without leaks. These fixes help keep daily routines running smoothly and prevent future headaches.
