The one refilling sounds like you need a new flush valve (flapper) this is easy to do shut the watre off open the toilet and push the handle to flush and watch teh rubber piece to move up and lets the water out at bottom of toilet. See where it hinges and attaches as you move the handle up and down, Buy a new one and once you have the new one remove the old one usually unsnaps where it hinges or slides over the overflow pipe. Wipe the rim of the seat where it makes contact on the bottom ot toilet (large round hole). The new one will be universal remove any attached parts not needed so that it will look like the old one and then atttach in the same manner. Attaching the linkage to the handle as before. The other toilet that over flowed it was probably a clog, Try this simple fix fill a bucket of water and throw into the bowl of the toilet as fast as you can without spilling any. Most times this will work to have the water push down what is stuck. If it doesn't work after you try it a couple of times try a plunger. If that doesn't work you may have to have a friend with a toilet auger come and try it, If that doesn't work you will hve to replace the toilet as a last option.
Good luck and remember water awasy runs down hill to seek it's own lowest leve and when not properly contains will cause great damagel, just like lawyers, police, judges and Politicians

It also sounds like the gasket between your tank and the bowl may need to be replaced. It may also be the flap inside the tank and the actual fush kit inside the tank needs to be replaced. I just replaced one of these for the first time. I picked up the kit from Home Depot, the instructions were very easy to understand. I was able to replace all of the inside of the tanks operation within ten minutes. My guess is that the one toilet that is working is the one on the top floor. If this is true, whe are back to a water problem as well as possible toilet problems. In any event, I would reccomend that you shut off the water supply to the two toilets that are not functioning properly and ony use the one that is until you have the toilets fixed. As for the bolts in the floor, can you grab a male friend that may have a stronger grip that may help move those stubborn bolts.

Check to make sure your leek is not coming out at your flush handle. Sometimes folkes fill their tanks too high and it leeks from that location. the leek can be so minor that one thinks it's coming from the bottom. Secondly, If you're having a problem with all three toilets, I suspect that you may have septic and that you're dealing with a high water table ( flooding this time of year ) and this my friend is worst. You may need to consider replacing the drainage field.
tHE PAGE IS BLANK. THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIION. ALSO, I'm having a horrible time with two of my three toilets. can't afford a plumber and have tried everything to do it myself.. My toilet is losing water in the tank and then there's a hiss and the water refills. it leaks underneath the tank but i can't remove the silicone bolts no mater what professional tool i use. Do i njust need to have toilet replaced. I'm desperate. the second toilet overflowed and went throught floor, into the ceiling in living room below and dropped the ceiling. HELP PLEASE I'M WIDOW. THANK YOU.
