Common signs
- A toilet that keeps running or refilling
- Water around the base of the toilet
- A toilet that rocks
- A weak or incomplete flush
What the provider typically checks
Plumbers replace fill valves, flappers and flush valves, and pull the toilet to replace the wax ring and flange bolts if there is a base leak.
Before you call
Close the supply valve behind the toilet if it is leaking. Avoid using a toilet that leaks at the base.
