A Running Toilet Wastes More Water Than You Think
A toilet that runs constantly still flushes, so it is easy to ignore. It should not be ignored. A faulty flapper or fill valve can waste a large amount of water every day, and a toilet that refills every few minutes is telling you a seal has failed.
How to Tell
Listen for refilling when no one has flushed. Watch for water moving in the bowl when the toilet has not been used. A simple dye test in the tank, with the manufacturer's guidance, can show a flapper leak.
The Usual Faults
A worn flapper, a fill valve set too high, or a fill valve that no longer shuts off. All three are repairs, and all three use parts matched to your toilet model where possible.
When It Is More Than a Flapper
A rocking toilet, water at the base, or a cracked bowl or tank is a different problem, and a base leak can rot flooring quietly. Those need a visit, not just a new flapper.
