How to check if your toilet is leaking
Is your water bill higher than you think it should be?
Have you checked to see if your toilet is leaking?
When we perform plumbing inspections or WELS inspections on homes, it is very common for us to find a leaking toilet, A leaking toilet can easily go unnoticed as leaking toilets can be difficult to see or hear.
The water use for a non leaking toilet is approximately 16% of your total water, so add a leaking toilet to this & you will be surprised at just how much water your wasting & paying for.
Even the smallest amount of water leaking from your toilet, will increase your water bill substantially.
A leaking toilet can waste more than 60,000 litres of water a year.
It is easy to check if you have a leaking toilet.

Carefully remove the toilet cistern lid & put a few drops of food colouring in the toilet cistern.
Wait a few seconds & if the colouring begins to appear in the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leaking toilet.
The most common cause of a toilet leak is a failed cistern rubber, but we also find other components in the toilet cistern like the mechanisms, seals or parts are required at the same time.
At the very least, you need to have the cistern rubber repaired immediately.
