Is your toilet making noise long after you’ve flushed? Or maybe you’ve noticed water trickling into the bowl even when it’s not in use? A leaking or constantly flushing toilet isn’t just annoying—it could be costing you hundreds of dollars a year in wasted water.

🚽 Common Signs of a Toilet Leak

Toilet runs for more than 30 seconds after flushing
You hear water refilling even without use
Water trickling into the bowl constantly
Damp areas around the base of the toilet

What Causes It?

There are a few likely culprits:

Outlet valve : This component controls the release of water from the tank into the bowl. Over time, the rubber material can wear out, warp, or develop mineral build-up, preventing a proper seal. This allows water to leak continuously into the bowl.
Inlet valve: Responsible for refilling the tank after a flush, the inlet valve can become dirty, worn, or misaligned. This leads to slow or inconsistent refilling and can cause the tank to overfill or run continuously.
Cracked or loose seal at the base: If you notice water pooling around the base of the toilet, it could be a sign that the pan collar seal has deteriorated, become loose, or was improperly installed. This type of leak can damage flooring and lead to odours or mould.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It

A single leaking toilet can waste up to 750 litres of water per day
It increases your water bill significantly
Moisture around the base can cause damage to flooring or create mold
