A leaking toilet isn’t just an annoying drip—it’s a major water waster. A single toilet with a bad flapper or internal leak can waste hundreds of gallons per day, costing you money and putting unnecessary strain on Austin’s water supply.
How to Check for a Leaking Toilet
Not sure if your toilet is leaking? Try this simple 3-step test:
- Drop food coloring or dye tablets into the toilet tank.
- Wait 10 minutes (don’t flush!).
- If the water in the bowl changes color, you’ve got a leak—likely from a worn-out flapper.
A flapper replacement is a quick and affordable fix, but if your toilet is older, upgrading to a high-efficiency model can save even more water.
