Toilet Leaking at the Base in Lexington, KY

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 Lexington, KY 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.

Call A-1 Plumbing Services at (866) 303-3394 to fix a toilet leaking at the base in Lexington, KY.

Toilet repair FAQs

Common questions about toilet repair and toilet installation

Questions we hear most often about Toilet Leaking at the Base in Lexington, KY.

Talk to a person
Why does my toilet keep running?
Nine times out of ten it is the flapper, the fill valve set too high, or a lift chain that is too short. A food coloring test in the tank tells you if the flapper is leaking.
Why does my toilet refill by itself every so often?
That is a ghost flush. Water is slowly leaking from the tank into the bowl, usually past a worn flapper or a pitted flush valve seat, until the fill valve kicks on to top it up.
Is water around the base of my toilet serious?
It can be. If it shows up after flushing, the seal under the toilet has likely failed and water is reaching the subfloor. Get it checked before the floor goes soft.
Can a cracked toilet tank be repaired?
Not reliably. Epoxy patches rarely hold under constant water pressure. The tank should be replaced, or the whole toilet if a matching tank is no longer made.
How long does toilet installation take?
A straight swap on a sound flange usually takes a couple of hours. Flange repairs, a damaged subfloor or a wall-hung carrier add time.
