The Common Causes of a Leaky Toilet
Leaky toilets can result from various problems, each requiring a specific approach to repair:
- Faulty Flapper or Valve Seal: A common cause of leaks inside the toilet tank, leading to water wastage and increased bills.
- Loose or Worn Out Connection Bolts: These can lead to water leaking onto the floor.
- Cracked Tank or Bowl: Even small cracks can cause significant leakage and may require a toilet replacement.
- Worn Out Wax Ring: The wax ring seals the connection between the toilet base and the drain. Over time, it can deteriorate, leading to leaks at the base.
Diagnosing a Leaky Toilet
Identifying the source of the leak is the first step in resolving the issue. Here’s what to look for:
- Constant Running Water: Indicates an issue with the tank’s internal components.
- Water on the Floor Around the Toilet: This could be due to a faulty wax ring, loose bolts, or cracks in the tank or bowl.
- Intermittent Leaking: Can be related to fluctuations in water pressure or partial blockages.
