That shows up on your water bill long before you notice anything else. A quick test: put a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait 10–15 minutes without flushing. If color shows up in the bowl, the flapper is leaking. ## Repair or replace? Most running and leaking toilets just need a part or two. Replacement makes sense when the tank or bowl is cracked, when the toilet clogs constantly, or when an old high-volume unit is costing you more in water than a new one would. If you're replacing, we'll help you pick a reliable, water-efficient model and install it properly — new wax ring, supply line, and a solid, level set. ## Leaking & running toilets across Savannah & Southeast Georgia We serve homeowners throughout the area, including: - [Savannah, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/savannah-ga/) - [Pooler, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/pooler-ga/) - [Richmond Hill, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/richmond-hill-ga/) - [Rincon, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/rincon-ga/) - [Garden City, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/garden-city-ga/) - [Port Wentworth, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/port-wentworth-ga/) - [Bloomingdale, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/bloomingdale-ga/) - [Wilmington Island, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/wilmington-island-ga/) - [Tybee Island, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/tybee-island-ga/) - [Guyton, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/guyton-ga/) - [Statesboro, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/statesboro-ga/) - [Brooklet, GA](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/service-areas/brooklet-ga/) Need it fixed today?

Usually a worn flapper that isn't sealing, a fill valve set too high so water spills into the overflow tube, or a chain that's too short or tangled. All are quick repairs. ### Why is water leaking at the base of my toilet? Most often a failed wax ring or a loose or broken flange. It's worth fixing quickly — water leaking under the toilet can damage the subfloor. ### Can a running toilet raise my water bill? Yes, noticeably. The EPA estimates a leaky toilet can waste around 200 gallons a day. ### Do you install new toilets? Yes. We remove and dispose of the old toilet and install the new one with a fresh wax ring, supply line, and proper leveling. ## Related services ![](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/images/leaking-faucet-repair.webp) ### [Leaking faucets](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/services/faucet-repair/) Drips and leaks at kitchen, bath, and outdoor faucets fixed with new cartridges, seals, or a full replacement. ![](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/images/sewer-drain-jetting.webp) ### [Sewer & drain stoppages / jetting](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/services/drain-cleaning-hydro-jetting/) Backed-up mains and stubborn clogs cleared with augers and high-pressure hydro-jetting — not store-bought chemicals. ![](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/images/garbage-disposal-repair.webp) ### [Garbage disposal repair](https://www.veteranhomeservice.com/services/garbage-disposal-repair/) Jammed, humming, or leaking disposals repaired, or swapped for a new unit when repair isn't worth it. ## Ready to get it squared away?
