What is the most common cause of a running toilet leak?

There isn’t one universal “most common” cause we can confirm without an inspection. A running toilet usually comes from a tank part that isn’t sealing or shutting off. In Appleton and nearby, our tech checks the flapper seal, fill valve, flush valve, overflow level, and the handle/chain, then uses a quick dye test to confirm the leak path. We stock common parts for same-visit fixes, and repairs and installations include a 2-year parts and labor warranty.
