In the average home, toilets account for approximately a third of the total water consumption. That means that a leaking toilet can be a very serious problem. Leaking toilets can cause rot, water damage, and much more. Luckily, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Red Deer has pipe leak detection services for toilets. Let us help you identify the source of your leaking toilet and provide you with the most effective solutions. Some of the signs that your toilet is leaking include:
- Strange Noises – If you notice gurgling, groaning, or bubbling sounds coming from your toilet (especially when it is flushed), you may leak somewhere in the pipes beneath it.
- Puddles of Water on the Bathroom Floor – Like most leaks, a leaking toilet can cause puddles to develop around the base.
- Uneven Tiles or Flooring – If the seal below your toilet leaks, it can damage the floor or tiling. This will cause the area to warp and become uneven near the toilet.
- Unpleasant Odours – When the drainpipe below the toilet leaks, it can allow wastewater to escape. This often creates an unpleasant sewage odor.
