5 Signs You Have a Toilet Leak
Did you know that people can have an undetected toilet leak for months or even years without knowing it? Though it sounds unbelievable, many toilet leaks can be hard to detect. Here are a few of the most common signs to look out for, aside from seeing a visible leak:
- The toilet doesn’t stop running after flushing
- It starts running in the middle of the night
- Unexplainably high water bills
- Reduced water pressure
- Mold growth or a sewage smell
4 Steps to Identify a Hidden Toilet Leak
When no leak is visible by sight, you can check for a hidden leak by performing a dye test:
- Remove the toilet tank lid: Gently remove the toilet tank lid at the top of the toilet.
- Check the water level: Next, look inside the tank to find a “water line,” which indicates the optimal water level. If the water level is either above or below this line, use the fill valve to adjust it to the line.
- Add the dye: Squeeze 15 to 20 drops of food coloring dye into the toilet tank. Your goal here is to change the color of the tank water so it’s noticeably different from the water in your toilet bowl. Then wait 30 minutes.
- Check your toilet bowl: After 30 minutes, check the water in your toilet bowl. If it has changed to the color you put in the tank, you have a leak in the tank, possibly at the flapper or the overflow tube.
