When the new meter flags continuous use, check toilets
Quick answer
My new smart meter says there is continuous water use. Could it be a toilet?
For toilet repair in Boynton Beach, a toilet is one of the first things to rule out when continuous use shows up. A flapper or fill valve that never fully stops can keep water moving around the clock. Continuous use only means water is flowing, so the source still has to be found. Du-All Plumbing can check. Call 561-623-3111.

Boynton Beach's meter project and the toilet it may expose
Boynton Beach Utilities began replacing about 23,000 water meters in October 2024 with Sensus iPearl smart meters, a project the city expects to take about 36 months. The city says the new meters show near real-time use and can detect leaks and continuous use, and it warns that some bills may rise because older meters can under-measure. For many households the first alert of continuous use will lead straight to the bathroom. A toilet that refills a little every few minutes, or one whose fill valve trickles into the overflow tube, uses water all day and night without anyone noticing. A continuous-use flag is a reason to look, not proof that a toilet is at fault. Irrigation, a softener, an ice maker line or a pipe can do the same thing. Our job is to find which one it is, and when it is a toilet, to fix it with the right part.
What order should I check things in after an alert?
Start with the toilets because they are easy to check and very often the cause. Listen at each bathroom for hissing or a refill that starts on its own. Lift each tank lid and see whether water is running into the overflow tube. Then do a dye check: dye in the tank, wait ten minutes without flushing, and look for color in the bowl. Flush afterward so it does not stain.
If every toilet passes, look at the other usual suspects before assuming a hidden pipe leak. A sprinkler zone that never shuts off, a softener stuck in regeneration and a refrigerator line all show up as continuous use. If you cannot find the source, our leak detection page for Boynton Beach explains the next steps, and we can look at both the fixtures and the plumbing.
Fill valve, flapper or overflow tube: what is wearing out?
Three parts cause most continuous running. A flapper that no longer seals lets water drain into the bowl, so the fill valve keeps topping up the tank. A fill valve that does not shut off sends water over the top of the overflow tube. And on some toilets the overflow tube itself is set too low, or cracked, so water escapes even when the parts are fine.
We look at the water level against the line marked inside the tank, check whether the float moves freely, and see where water is going while the toilet is supposed to be quiet. Swapping all the parts at once without finding the cause can hide a problem rather than fix it. When the fill valve and flapper are both worn, replacing them together is often sensible, and we will tell you why.
Can a toilet run without making any sound?
Yes, and that is why continuous-use alerts so often surprise people. A flapper leak can be slow enough that the tank drops only a little at a time, and the fill valve tops it up with a short, quiet burst every so often. In a bathroom with the door closed, or one at the far end of the house, nobody hears it. Another quiet failure is a fill valve that lets a thin stream run into the overflow tube nonstop, which makes almost no noise at all.
Watching the water in the bowl is a simple check. A steady ripple, or a thin trickle running down the inside of the bowl from under the rim long after a flush, means water is still moving through the toilet. If you see that, you have found a likely cause of continuous use, and the repair is usually inside the tank.

Leaks at the supply connection and shutoff valve
Not every toilet leak runs through the bowl. The supply line from the wall to the tank and the shutoff valve where it starts can drip slowly, wetting the floor behind the toilet where it is easy to miss. Look for rust on the valve, mineral crust at the nuts, or a line that is swollen or kinked.
A valve that drips at the stem, is corroded or will not turn should be repaired or replaced by a plumber rather than forced. We replace lines and valves as part of toilet repair. If water is spraying, close the valve if it turns easily and call; do not try to bend or tighten a cracked plastic nut.
Does a toilet need attention after the meter swap?
The city says meter installers shut water off on either side of the meter and never need to enter the home. Any time water is shut off and restored, for a meter change, a main repair or plumbing work, debris can occasionally reach a fixture. If a toilet fill valve hums, fills slowly or will not shut off after water service is restored, have a plumber inspect the valve and its inlet screen rather than assuming a cause. Cleaning or replacing the fill valve resolves many of these cases, but the toilet should be checked like any other running toilet.
Why does my toilet rock on the floor?
A toilet that shifts when you sit down has lost its firm connection to the flange, the ring that ties the toilet to the drain pipe. Over time that movement breaks the wax seal, and a broken seal can let wastewater seep under the toilet and into the floor. A faint sewer smell in the bathroom or a stain around the base are common signs.
Simply tightening the bolts harder can crack the base. The repair is to lift the toilet, check the flange for breaks or a height that sits too low below the finished floor, fix or repair the flange as needed, and reset the toilet on a new seal. Shims can help where the floor is uneven, but they are not a cure for a broken flange.
Is it time for a new toilet?
A cracked tank or bowl, constant clogs or a model whose parts are hard to find all point toward replacement. EPA notes that older toilets can use as much as six gallons per flush, while WaterSense labeled models use 1.28 gallons or less. With a meter that now reports use closely, an old high-volume toilet may stand out more than it used to.
We measure the rough-in, inspect the flange, and set the new toilet so it is level and sealed. Our toilet repair and replacement service explains the work, and current toilet coupons lists any offer, which cannot be combined with others. Ask Boynton Beach Utilities about any current incentive before buying; eligibility and funding must be confirmed directly.
Overflows and multiple drains backing up
If a toilet starts to overflow, stop flushing. Close the valve behind it if it turns easily, and keep people and pets away from the water. If other drains in the house back up at the same time, stop using water anywhere in the home, because the blockage is beyond the toilet.
The city is responsible for its service line up to the meter, and the owner is responsible from the meter to the house. A sewer backup inside the home still starts with a plumber's look at the house drain. Avoid contact with sewage and do not try to clean it up yourself. When you are ready, contact Du-All Plumbing and tell us which fixtures are affected.

Before you call
Boynton Beach toilet repair questions, answered
Will my Boynton Beach bill go up after the new meter even if nothing is leaking?
The city says it may, because older meters can under-measure. A higher bill is not proof of a leak, but it is a good time to check the toilets.
Does the meter installer need to come inside to check my toilets?
The city says meter vendors never need to enter the home. Toilet checks inside the house are a plumber's work.
Why is water trickling into the overflow tube?
The fill valve is not shutting off, or the water level is set too high. Adjusting or replacing the fill valve usually fixes it.
Can a sewer smell in the bathroom come from the toilet seal?
Yes. A broken wax seal under a rocking toilet is a common cause. The toilet needs to be lifted and reset on a new seal.
Should I replace both the flapper and the fill valve at once?
Only when both are worn. We look at each part first and explain what is failing.
