The most common cause of a toilet leak is a faulty flapper. Watch this video to learn more.

How to Check for Toilet Leaks

  1. Remove the lid from the toilet tank. 
  2. Drop one dye tablet in the tank. 
  3. Wait 15 minutes. DO NOT FLUSH!

If you see color in the bowl, you have a leak. That’s because water is leaking from the tank into the toilet bowl. You’ll want to make repairs as soon as possible, either doing it yourself or hiring a Registered Licensed WSSC Water Plumber. We recommend checking for toilet leaks twice a year.
