5 Signs That Your Toilet Flange Is Leaking

Leakage can be caused by many factors. The most common cause of a leaking toilet is when the wax rings and flange underneath the toilet fail, are crooked, or are defective. These are the most obvious signs of a leaky wax ring or flange problem in a toilet.

If your toilet is shaking, it could be a sign that the wax ring underneath it is failing. These components may not be doing their job if the toilet is wobbling.

Water pooling at the bottom of your toilet. It’s possible that water is leaking from the tank. If your toilet has a spongy or springy floor, it is likely that the flange is leaking. This allows water from the toilet to seep into your subfloor. You may need to make additional repairs.

Your toilet flooring is beginning to rise. If the tiles or linoleum around the toilet buckle, crack, or become uneven, this could cause the subfloor’s soak and eventual failure.

How to Fix A Toilet Flange

Keep your toilet in tip-top condition by replacing the toilet flange every six to seven years. Disconnect the toilet from the water supply and take it out of the toilet. Then, remove the wax ring and flange as well as any other debris. Finally, place the new wax rings, flanges and toilets. Turn on the water and inspect for leaks. Sometimes, the bolts holding the toilet down can get rusty. To remove them, you might need a hacksaw or reciprocating saw.
