Toilets are responsible for a significant portion of your home’s overall water consumption. A leaking toilet can cause rot, water damage, and other costly repairs. So, it’s crucial to identify a leaking toilet as early as possible. There are some signs that you need a toilet plumbing leak repair, such as:
- Strange Noises – If there is a leak in the pipes beneath your toilet, you may notice a gurgling, groaning, or bubbling noise.
- Puddles of Water on the Bathroom Floor – When the seal between your toilet and the pipes below is compromised, the water will often leak out of the base of the toilet. This will leave mysterious puddles on your bathroom floor.
- Uneven Tiles or Flooring – When water leaks around the base of a toilet, it can cause the tile or flooring around the area to warp and become uneven.
- Unpleasant Odors – A leaking toilet can allow sewage to escape, causing unpleasant smells.
