Save Water
Prevent Damage
Lower Your Utility Bill
A silently leaking toilet tank can waste hundreds of gallons of water per week — often without you noticing. Our licensed technicians are trained to quickly detect and resolve these invisible water wasters, keeping your home efficient and your utility bills in check.
Our approach to toilet tank leak testing is fast, clean, and non-invasive.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
We inspect for:
Time Estimate:
20–45 minutes per toilet.
Toilet tanks hold water for the flush cycle. Inside the tank are simple but vital components — like the flapper (a rubber seal that releases water during flushing), and the fill valve (which refills the tank after a flush).
Over time, these parts wear out or become misaligned, causing slow, silent leaks from the tank into the bowl. These leaks often go unnoticed, but:
Can waste up to 200 gallons per day
Cause higher water bills
Create unnecessary wear on plumbing
Lead to mold or floor damage if leaks extend outside the tank
A toilet leak test helps stop the waste — and the surprise bills — before they begin.
After testing, our technician may recommend one of the following:
Adjust or refit internal components (e.g., flapper, chain, fill level).
Replace just one or two worn parts (like a leaky flapper).
Install a brand new, high-efficiency toilet.
Swap for a dual-flush or WaterSense model to save water long-term.

How do I know if my toilet tank is leaking?
If you hear constant running water, see an unexplained spike in your water bill, or notice the bowl refilling without flushing, you may have a leak. The best test: add a few drops of food coloring to your tank, wait 10–15 minutes, and see if color appears in the bowl — if it does, there’s a leak.
What causes silent toilet leaks?
If you’re experiencing slow drains, sewer odors, recurring backups, or planning a remodel, a camera inspection is the first step. It’s also smart to inspect if your home is 30+ years old, before buying or selling, or after major drain issues.
