It always happens at the worst moment, a windy evening when you are all alone, that tree is hitting the side of your house and some strange animal made a noise outside. Just as you calm your nerves and walk into your bathroom you hear it, the tell tale sign that the toilet has just flushed moments ago as you hear it refilling. Were you just in here? Then who flushed it? Well you can relax, odds are that no one flushed it, you may have a leak. The number one culprit is a worn out flapper. This is the rubber valve that opens when you flush your toilet and closes automatically when you let the handle go. If you are brave enough to check it yourself lift the toilet back off cautiously and stick your hand into the water, wipe the red or black rubber flapper with a finger if a black film residue is left on your hand or if it looks warped it needs to be replaced. Check and make sure the chain is not obstructing the fall by flushing with the lid off as well, sometimes this can happen.
