There is nothing worse than finding that your toilet is leaking. As frustrating as this can be, it’s important to pinpoint the problem and implement a solution right away.

Here are some of the top causes of a toilet leak:

• Leaking supply line. If the line that brings water to your toilet is defective, loose, or worn out, it can soon lead to a slow leak.
• Broken toilet tank. This doesn’t happen often, but don’t rule it out. The toilet tank is not indestructible, so it could develop a fracture at some point.
• Stuck flush handle. This is something that many people overlook, however, it’s a serious problem that can cost you quite a bit of water.
• Faulty connections. Let’s face it: there are many parts that make a toilet work. If one of them goes bad, such as the result of a faulty connection, a leak could be the end result.
• Improper installation. If a toilet is not “seated” correctly, you may begin to notice a leak from the base. This is a problem that needs repaired without delay.
