Continuous or intermittent?
Record whether water keeps moving after a flush or the toilet unexpectedly starts filling later.
A toilet that refills between flushes or keeps running after the tank should be full can be easy to ignore. In your Downey home, listen for whether the sound is continuous or comes back at intervals. Those patterns help describe the problem without guessing which part failed. A toilet with water at its base or a drainage backup needs a different conversation from running alone.
If a conventional tank is safely accessible, note visible water movement without forcing or modifying components. Concealed and pressure-assisted systems need their own instructions. Do not keep bending a part or holding the handle to make the toilet behave. Have the brand or model ready if you can find it. Call about plumbing repairs and explain any recently replaced parts; a repair proposal should match the actual toilet and symptom.
