I have a confession.
There's a toilet in my home that runs constantly.
Now, I own a home services company. I know what causes running toilets. I know they waste water. And I know the problem needs to be fixed.
So what have I done about it?
I turn the water supply valve on when I need the toilet and turn it off when I'm finished. 😂
Yes, really.
Here's the interesting part.
A running toilet can waste a surprising amount of water without ever leaving a puddle on the floor. Often, the problem is something as simple as a worn flapper or a malfunctioning fill valve.
But instead of fixing the problem, I've developed a routine around it.
And that's what homeowners do all the time.
We adjust. We compensate. We get used to things.
Eventually, something that should be repaired becomes part of our normal daily routine.

I'd love to hear your answers. I clearly can't judge! 😂
