Toilet Leak Repair
Toilet leaks are common—and usually fixable with a few basic checks. Use this guide to find the source and make the right repair.
Step 1: Find the leak location
Tank: water on the outside of the tank or dripping from bolts.
Supply line/shutoff valve: dripping at the connection or valve stem.
Base: water appears around the toilet after flushing (often a wax ring issue).

Step 2: Quick repairs you can try
Tighten fittings gently (don’t overtighten).
Replace worn supply lines or valve packing if dripping continues.
If the leak is at the base, plan to replace the wax ring (toilet must be lifted).
