🚽 A leaking toilet can waste 200 gallons of water a day. The culprit is often a worn flapper — a small, inexpensive part that’s usually easy to replace.

💧 An easy way to check: Add a few drops of food coloring to the tank and wait 10 minutes without flushing. If color appears in the bowl, you may have a leak.
