Five observations that shape this decision
Keep each item as evidence for the call. None of these observations establishes a hidden cause by itself.
Overflow tube view
Describe visible continuous tank flow without dismantling the mechanism.
Bowl level
Note a stable, falling, or moving surface between uses.
Supply and base
Keep a separate note for valve noise, line moisture, and floor water.
Night pattern
Capture the refill interval when no one is using nearby fixtures.
Problem pathway
Move from the visible clue to supported work
