That Unsteady Toilet Seat Has a Secret

2/25/2022 (Permalink)

Sure, that sounds silly but the truth is if your toilet seat has started to feel unsteady, there is a good explanation for it… and one you’ll want to remedy right away. 

The fact is, residential water damage comes in many forms. Sometimes, it suddenly appears right above our heads in the form of ceiling water damage, possibly from a rickety roof or from an upstairs bathroom. 

Water damage that begins in the bathroom often results from an overflow of water, typically the bathtub but can also come from the sink. Where it tends to hide, however, is right below your toilet. In this scenario, the wax ring between the base of your toilet and the toilet flange, which is connected to the drainpipe, might weaken and leak. 

A telltale sign might be water pooled around the toilet base; or, even worse, no signs of water at all because it has soaked into the subfloor, out of sight.
