Do I Have a Water Leak in My Toilet?

A toilet that silently leaks can waste an astonishing 30 to 500 gallons of water every day. If the leak is audible, the wastage can be even greater. Silent leaks are often the result of a faulty water level adjustment or a worn-out flapper. 

Identifying these leaks can be done efficiently when you know what to look for. A quick dye test can confirm the presence of a leaky flapper. Place a few drops of food dye in your toilet tank, wait 15 minutes, and check the bowl. If the water in the bowl is tinged with color, it’s time to replace the flapper or investigate further. Ignoring such leaks can result in skyrocketing water bills and unnecessary water waste.

The Benefits of Professional Help with Your Leak

Many people, including more than a few of our customers, are capable of DIY projects. However, there are some tasks where the benefits of calling in the pros are worth it and mitigate long-term risk. Leak detection and repair are an example. 

Here’s why: 

• Advanced detection tools. We use advanced technology like thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, and pressure gauges to locate leaks that might be virtually impossible to identify with the naked eye.
• The value of your time. Identifying and repairing leaks can be a time-consuming process. Homeowners have family, friends, and hobbies. Businesses have a product or service to provide. We can save you time that might otherwise be lost. 
• Comprehensive assessments. While fixing the immediate leak, we’ll also inspect the surrounding system for potential vulnerabilities. We can address issues before they escalate, offering a complete approach to plumbing health.
• Cost-efficiency. By addressing leaks early, you significantly reduce the chances of increased water bills and expensive damage to your walls, floors, or foundations caused by prolonged water exposure.
• Safety assurances. Leaks, especially those involving hot water or structural elements, can pose safety risks. We have the training to handle repairs safely.
• Access to quality materials. We can access parts and materials that are often not available over the counter at the hardware store. High-quality parts mean the results of our work can last longer and reduce the frequency of future issues. 
• Warranty backing. Mistakes made by homeowners don’t get warranty coverage, and any damage to property might not be covered by insurance. You can protect yourself from those risks with our warranty-backed services. 
• Customized advice. After the repair job is done, we can provide valuable tips and guidance geared toward your home’s plumbing system. 
• Reduced stress. Attempting DIY repairs can be frustrating, especially if the problem is more complex than it appears. However, we’ve seen many different leak issues over the years, and we know how to handle the unexpected.
