1 Broken or failing parts inside the tank (like a fill valve, flapper, ball cock or tank lever) may cause a toilet to run continuously. 2  DIY replacement parts for this problem typically cost $5-$50 depending on the brand of toilet, with an average cost of less than $25. 3  This project might take 20-30 minutes or two hours.
Since the water flows down the sewer, leaking toilets donât necessarily leave any signs of a leak, until you get the bill. The average leaky toilet can waste about 200 gallons of water per day. Thatâs over 6,000 gallons a month ($70.06*) for just one leaking toilet! Some toilets may produce a running water sound that is easy to hear. Some leaks are visible as a small trickle running from the rim to the water in the bowl.
