Recently, I personally had a toilet leak from the water hose going to the toilet tank business. This tube was five years old, and it looked good until I looked closer and saw that fine droplets of water begin to come from the edge of the compression fitting. Wow, got lucky this time and am very grateful they do not get the chance to develop into a severe floods. Check your toilet's water supply hose, because this factor is important. You would not believe how many floods we have caused in the past 15 years to the same type of hose. Cost to replace up to $ 6.79, Home Depot. The cost of a flood of thousands in your> Home.
The three most common sources of water leaks in homes are the following:

The manufacturer does not tell the pipes burst and a flood. The tubes were $ 3.49 cheaper and better quality, were $ 6.79. I bought the better quality because of the guarantee.

AHot Water Heater leak is difficult to detect early. If you look at the bottom of the furnace grate, think about replacing it. I had to replace about two years ago, saw the rust but was too slow to replace it. It was beautiful one day, came home from work and there was water on the garage of the leak. The happiness, it was located in the garage. It would have been much worse had it been in my house. I installed a drain pan under the hot water heater with aDrain line to the outside just to make sure next time.
Finally, check your water hoses on the toilet and washing machine once a month. I would also recommend the Hot Water Heater at the same time.
