Do You Suspect A Leaking Toilet?

Put a few drops of food coloring in the toilet tank, if after 15 minutes you see color entering the bowl, you’ve got a leak! A leaking toilet can waste over 500 gallons of water every month. That’s enough water to do over 50 loads of laundry. It pays to have leaky toilets and faucets repaired because you’ll save on water bills and help conserve a precious natural resource.

If you’re old toilet is leaking and isn’t worth repairing, you may want to consider installing a new low flow toilet. Water saving showerheads and tankless water heaters are other ways to cut down that monthly utility bill.

If you think you might have other leaks in your house that you can’t see (behind a wall or in a ceiling), take a good look at your water meter. Make sure no one in the home is using water and watch the dial on the meter. If the dial is moving, you have a leak somewhere in your home.

Since you’re looking for leaks in your home, it might be prudent to take a quick look at your water heater as well. Check the top and bottom of the tank for leaks. You’ll also want to check the pressure release valve for any small drips. If you notice any leaks, call Bonfe’s right away for a water heater repair or replacement.
