Most leaks are easy to find and to fix, at very little cost.
Leaking faucets are often caused by a worn out washer that costs pennies to replace. Most hardware stores will have faucet repair kits with illustrations showing how to replace a washer. And it's estimated that 40 percent of all toilets leak . To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet. Wait a few minutes.
