Many water leaks start small but can quickly escalate into major issues if ignored. Beyond obvious dripping faucets, running toilets are notorious for silently wasting hundreds of gallons of water. A simple check for a silent toilet leak involves adding a few drops of food coloring or a dye tablet to the tank; if color appears in the bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Regularly inspecting visible pipes for wear or moisture can also provide early warnings, helping you prevent significant damage.
