Fixing a toilet that continuously leaks from the bottom requires replacing the failed wax ring seal and securing the porcelain bowl. Begin by turning off the water supply, draining the tank, unbolting the toilet from the floor, and lifting it off the flange. Clean off the old wax, inspect the plastic or metal flange for cracks, install a brand-new wax ring, set the toilet down evenly, and tighten the closet bolts securely while ensuring the bowl does not rock. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves when handling waste seals. Verification: Test the toilet with several consecutive flush cycles to confirm the base remains completely dry.
