50 DIY Home Repair Tips That Will Simplify Your Life

Using Kool-Aid to Detect Toilet Leaks

These days, plumbers charge quite a bit to diagnose toilet leaks. And if they do find a leak, they’ll bill you even more to repair it. That’s why you might want to fix the problem yourself. However, if you work on a toilet based on mere suspicion, you might cause even more damage. But don’t worry anymore. With this tip, you can confirm your suspicion for just 20 cents. All you need is a dark-colored Kool-Aid packet. Then, open the toilet tank and add the contents. If, after thirty minutes, the water in the toilet bowl changes color, you have a leak.
