Flushing mechanisms become faulty over time so regular inspection of the inner workings help insure that the water level stops before overflowing down the tube inside the mechanism in the cistern.

A quick look will help spot a leak. It is not difficult to see if you look inside the cistern, check that the water level stops before the top of the pipe. Seals or handles can be replaced or even the complete system. If the pan connector at the bottom outlet of the toilet is leaking, it is recommended to repair or replace it as soon as possible for hygiene reasons not to mention smells that may occur. Dealing with small leaks can save long term damage to walls, foundations and flooring.

Leaks left unattended could cause toxic mold, discolor paint, bricks and flooring which can be costly to restore or repair in the long run. Monitoring your water meter by taking photos of your meter reading, will help give a heads up that there is a leak. Photos once a week or each month will help you notice a change.

To detect if you have a leak on the inlet to the house, with no using water in the house, take a photo of the meter, if the meters dials are turning, even slowly, you defiantly have a leak.

Signs of mold and discoloration on walls that look like evidence of a leak, are not always caused by fresh water coming into the house but can be from leaking outlet pipes, like faulty seals on exit fittings these include, traps, hoses,pipe fittings, the toilets pan connector. A faulty cistern , fine cracks from age on old toilets or accidental damage can result in a leak, the whole toilet may need to be replaced if the parts are obsolete or not available. Old galvanized piping is a common cause of leaks, the pipes start to rust and crack and are not recommended to repair as they continue to crumble and crack so replacement with copper is always the best long term solution.
