How To Catch A Running Toilet Without Track Shoes

Of course we’ve all heard the age-old joke about running toilets and how to catch them, but if your toilet won’t stop running, you may not be in a laughing mood, let alone a running one. That’s because a ceaselessly running toilet may also mean gallons of wasted water and a potentially soaring water bill; reasons enough to turn any grin into a grimace. So all running jokes aside, what do you do when your toilet won’t stop running? Find out with Leak Detection Wizard!

3 Common Signs Your Toilet Won’t Stop Running

Don’t worry, none of them are shortness of breath. Here are 3 signs that your toilet is running when it shouldn’t be:

1. 1. Toilet Talk – If you can hear noise coming from your toilet at all hours of the day, it’s likely your toilet is running when it shouldn’t be. Normally, that running sound will only follow a flush, indicating that your toilet is refilling in a normal, functional way. 
   2. Not So Royal Flush – Trouble flushing? If you need to hold down the handle longer than usual to make the toilet flush, it’s a sign that something’s wrong. 
   3. Water Bill Blowup – Another great indicator that your toilet is constantly running is any significant increase in your water bill. If you notice any spikes, it’s time to take a closer look at your sinks, showers and toilets to find the water-consuming culprit. Check out our blog on a high water bill for more details!
