Toilet Leaking?

Suspect that you have a leak in your toilet?

Leaking in the toilet is very common and sometimes undetectable, worst of all you could be wasting gallons of water!! Here is a tip you can use to detect the leak.

Tip:
Drop some food coloring into the tank and check about 15-20 minutes later to see if the coloring has leaked into the bowl. If the water is clear, then you do not have a leak. However, if you detect colouring in the bowl then you have a leak.

Call for a plumber.
