A running toilet isn’t just annoying—it can waste a lot of water and increase your utility bill! The good news? It’s usually a simple fix. Most running toilets are caused by a faulty flapper, a problem with the fill valve, or the chain being too short or tangled. Start by lifting the tank lid and taking a look inside. Check if the flapper is sealing properly, make sure the chain isn’t too tight or loose, and see if the water level is set correctly. Have you fixed a running toilet before? What was the culprit, and how did you solve it? Share your tips, tricks, or questions below so we can all save water (and money) together!

Ever notice a drip under your sink or water pooling around the faucet? Don’t worry—basic plumbing repairs are easier than you think! Start by turning off the water supply under the sink. Most leaks are caused by loose connections or worn-out washers. Use a wrench to gently tighten any loose fittings. If the leak persists, check the washer or O-ring in the faucet—these are inexpensive and easy to replace. Have a tip for troubleshooting sink leaks, or a story about your first plumbing fix?
