A running toilet in a Dormont house: a small part with a real water bill

The sound you hear at night is water you are still paying for.

A toilet that cycles all night is usually a flapper, a fill valve, or a leak into the bowl. That's ordinary fixture work, and it's worth doing before it becomes a leak on the ceiling below.

If the floor around the toilet is soft, say so. That's more than a flapper, and the source should be understood before anyone puts a new fixture on a bad floor.

Stacked Dormont houses send a second-floor drip into a first-floor ceiling quickly. Mention both rooms.

A later patch can wait until the bath is actually dry. Paint is not the repair.

Stacked houses in McKees Rocks have the same 'stain downstairs, fixture upstairs' pattern; McKees Rocks plumbing asks you to name both rooms in the request.

After the toilet is quiet, a dry stain can be patched — not a same-day paint over a damp ring. Carnegie drywall and plaster is the ceiling-after-plumbing sequence for stacked houses.
