A leaky toilet can mean a very hefty plumber’s bill is in your immediate future, but don’t despair. You can actually do the diagnostic part by yourself, and it won’t cost you more than 20 cents. How? Buy one of those small packets of dark-colored Kool-Aid, and then remove your toilet tank’s lid.

Use Kool-Aid to find out if your toilet sprung a leak

Pour the contents of the packet inside. Wait about half an hour, and then take a look at the water in the bowl. If they’ve been colored, sorry – you have a leak. Just make sure you don’t flush while you wait.
