We have had a large volume of "My water bill has been high, do I have a leak?" Phone inquiries recently.
Here is a tip to see if you toilet is the culprit.
Grab some food coloring (assuming you don't use a blue bowl additive) and put a few drops in your tank. Wait 10 minutes and if you see that color in the bowl (use a darker one, red/blue) then you need a replacement of the flap that controls the flow to the bowl (and eventually down the drain, thus waisting water). Also look for ripples (movement of the water) in the bowl 5 mins after you flush. That movement should stop after the tank fills and could be a sign of a faulty seal.
This is an easy fix, but as always, if you need us, we are here for you ☺️ (773)237-4866
