My toilet is constantly running, what should I do?

A continually running toilet can waste a lot of water. Fixing the issue is usually simple. There are three common causes of a running toilet - 1. the flapper chain is disconnected, too short or has too much slack, 2. the flapper may be dirty or broken, 3. the float that controls the level of water in the tank may be out of position. If you're not sure how to fix the problem be sure to contact your local plumber.
