- The sample toilet repair checks for overflow, uses five drops of food coloring and a 15-minute wait, then checks chain slack.
Field notes
In the toilet example, the suggested checks distinguish water spilling into the overflow tube from a flapper leak, then move through shutoff, removal, replacement, and float adjustment. The page estimates $5–25 for parts against $150–250 for a service call, while noting that US prices vary by area and model. It also names a clear stop condition: do not force a shutoff valve that will not turn or starts leaking.
