When it comes to toilet leaks, it often comes down to three simple things. Let’s determine the 3 problems that your toilet is likely to have may have:

Sometimes wax rings can dry, out crumble and fail prematurely. If you see droplets of water from the toilet base, then the probable cause is the damaged wax seal at the bottom of the toilet.

If your toilet continuously runs, the toilet flapper could be the culprit. When the flapper is faulty, water leaks out of the tank and into the bowl triggering the float arm to release the water valve to refill the tank. This problem causes the toilet to remain running, which can be a nuisance as well as increase your water bill.

A messy fill valve is a common toilet issue. There is only one place that a toilet fill valve can leak, and that is the fitting that connects it to the tank. Leaking occurs when the joint is loose or becomes old. When you have a faulty fill valve, you will hear water running continuously, or the toilet may not flush at all.

Anytime you detect a leak in your toilet, it is essential to contact a qualified professional to fix it before it is too late. Similarly, toilet leakages can increase your bills resulting from hundreds of water gallons wasted through leaking.
