Toilet Detective

Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
If you suspect your toilet is leaking, but aren't sure where, add some food coloring to the water in the tank. If you see colored water inside the toilet bowl, suspect a defective flapper that needs to be adjusted or replaced. If it shows outside the toilet near the back, suspect a faulty tank-bowl gasket. If you see any water on the floor near the base, check for a faulty wax ring.
