How to Check for a Toilet Tank Leak

One of the most common plumbing issues around is a leaky toilet. But unlike some other kinds of plumbing leaks, you may not realize that you have a leaky toilet tank until you get shocked by a much larger-than-normal water bill. Indeed, the toilet leak can happen silently and steadily, and so it is important to know the signs of a leaky toilet before you end up wasting too much water and spending too much of your hard-earned money on that wasted water.

Can you see water filling in the toilet bowl after flushing and after the toilet tank fills up again? If you can actually see the water going into the toilet bowl when it shouldn’t, then that is a clear sign that the toilet tank is leaking and action should be taken to solve the problem.

Listen carefully to your toilet. Yes, it sounds a little strange to say, but it’s something that you can do to help diagnose a leaking toilet. After flushing, put your ear next to the toilet tank. Be patient. Wait until the tank stops filling with water. If you can still hear the sound of running water, then this sign points to a leaky toilet.

Try the simple dye test. Open the toilet tank and add a few drops of food coloring or another type of color dye. Do not flush the toilet for a couple of hours. Simply wait. If after a couple of hours, you see colored water in your toilet bowl, then it is highly likely that a leak exists.
