What causes a toilet to leak from the base when flushing?
Most leaks from the base when you flush come from a failed wax ring seal or loose closet bolts. A cracked bowl or a rocking toilet can also push water past the seal. Summers installs and resets toilets by seating the wax ring correctly, checking water connections, and shimming to prevent wobble. If the toilet is overflowing, our 24/7 team can respond. We serve Dayton, Mason, and nearby.
- Rocking toilet = loose bolts or shimming needed.
- Water only after flushing = wax ring issue.
