Toilets significantly impact household water bills, especially older models that use more water per flush. Running toilets may leak from the tank to the bowl, causing those leaks to waste substantial amounts of water - up to 3 gallons a minute or 250 gallons a day for average leaks. Master plumber Aaron Adams highlights that undetected leaks can accumulate costs of around $100 monthly and lead to $1,200 yearly. Homeowners should listen for leaks to avoid excessive plumbing costs, as a combination of leaky and clogged toilets can result in even more severe problems.
Running toilet water wastes approximately 25 times more water than shower leaks, and an average medium-sized toilet leak wastes 250 gallons of water a day.
A running toilet can cost homeowners an extra $100 a month, summing up to $1,200 a year if left unchecked.
