Are you noticing an increase in your water bill but can’t figure out why? It’s essential to check for leaks first and foremost, as this is the most common explanation for higher-than-expected utility bills. But what could be driving up your consumption if there are no leaks in your piping and faucets?
Did you know a leaking toilet could waste up to 200 gallons of water daily? To prevent this unnecessary waste, regularly checking your toilets for leaks is important. Start by checking the fill valve to ensure it’s not overflowing through the overflow pipe. Next, ensure the water level is correct and add food coloring to the tank to check the flapper. If the water in the bowl changes color, it’s a sign that the flapper needs to be replaced. By taking these simple steps, you can save water (and money on your water bill!) while also prolonging the life of your toilet.
