Plunging won't solve a leaking toilet. First, the source of the leak needs to be located. If the bathroom floor is covered with water, check the base of the bowl for leaks, as well as the valve behind the toilet.
If the toilet is leaking from the base, inspect the bolts that hold the bowl to the floor. They may not be tight enough to form a leak-proof seal. Tighten the bolts, but not so much as to crack the base of the bowl. If this doesn't work, the wax seal between the bowl and the floor may
have to be replaced. Should this be the case, shut off the main water and drain the bowl before removing the toilet from the floor .We will repair or replace those problem toilets in your house for you. The models we recommend are so good we have only had one customer clog one of them. |
