Toilet Leaking at the Base in French Camp, CA
Water around the base of a toilet usually comes from one of four places: the wax ring, a loose closet bolt, the tank-to-bowl gasket dripping down the outside of the bowl, or condensation running off the tank in humid weather. The fix depends on which one, so find out first.
A-1 Plumbing Services connects French Camp, CA homeowners with plumbers who trace the source before pulling anything. Dry the floor, then look again after a flush. Water that shows up after flushing points at the seal under the toilet. Water that is there all the time often points at the supply line or the tank.
Left alone, a base leak soaks the subfloor. Soft flooring around the toilet, a stain on the ceiling below, or a sewer smell in the bathroom all suggest it has been going on a while.
When the seal is the cause, the plumber pulls the toilet, inspects the flange, installs a new seal and resets the bowl on new bolts.
