Silent Toilet Leak in Nampa: A 15-Minute Dye Test Finds the Flapper Fault Behind a Rising Bill

A silent toilet leak in Nampa can raise a water bill with no visible water: a worn flapper or a faulty fill valve lets water trickle from tank to bowl with no drip, no hiss and no puddle. The dye test finds it — a few drops of food colouring in the tank, no flush for about fifteen minutes, then look in the bowl. Colour in the bowl means the flapper is letting water through; a clear bowl means the flapper is holding. Ghost flushing — the toilet refilling by itself at night — is the sound that usually gives a silent leak away. If the dye test is clear and the toilet is not the cause, run the meter test next: turn off all fixtures and appliances, note the reading, wait without using water, then recheck. A moving meter means water is being used somewhere else, and a hidden supply leak becomes the leading explanation.
