Direct Answer
A running toilet is usually a worn flapper, a fill valve set too high, or a cracked overflow tube. All three let water flow from the tank to the bowl, or to the drain, without a flush.
What We Test
- Flapper seal and chain length
- Fill valve height and shutoff
- Overflow tube height and condition
- Water level against the overflow mark
A simple dye test can confirm it: put food colouring in the tank, wait without flushing, and see if colour appears in the bowl. If it does, the flapper is leaking, even if you hear nothing.
