Small Leak from Toilet- DIY?
Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2019 5:23 am
Hi all,
Hope this is the right place for this. This morning when I woke up, after I went to the bathroom in my spare bathroom I looked down and saw a bit of water on the floor as it appeared to come from the base of the toilet. I checked the base of the toilet for leaks/cracks and did not see anything, and there was still water in the bowl after I flushed.
It wasn't a crazy amount of water, maybe spread 4-5 inches from the base of the toilet. Not sure what else it could be from. Since I didn't have time to really dig in and figure out what was wrong as I had to go to work, I did not flush again to see if it leaked (and didn't want to make it worse).
Has this happened to anyone else? And if so was it a difficult fix? I would much rather fix it myself, though I also don't want to make it worse, as I'm not overly handy and certainly not a plumber. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks
