What is the most common cause of a running toilet leak?

Most running toilets are caused by a worn flapper that no longer seals. A close second is a misadjusted or failing fill valve. We stock both parts for same-visit fixes in Franklin and nearby towns. Priority Plan members receive a free dye-tab test to spot silent leaks.

Quick checks:

  • Add food color to the tank; color in bowl = flapper leak.
  • Set water level to the tank mark.
  • Ensure the flapper chain isn’t too tight or tangled.
