What causes a toilet to leak from the base when flushing?

A toilet leaking at the base when you flush usually means the base is loose or parts are loose, allowing water to escape at the floor. Clogs and tank issues are also common and can leave water around the toilet after flushing. Summers offers same-day toilet repair and emergency phone guidance to shut off the water if needed. Our licensed, background-checked technicians can repair or replace the toilet in Kokomo and nearby areas.

• Turn the shutoff valve clockwise.
• Avoid flushing again.
• Place towels to contain water.
• Call for same-day service.
