A leaking toilet should be treated as a high-urgency plumbing issue that requires prompt repair. Even a seemingly minor slow leak at the base can allow unsanitary wastewater to seep continuously into your subfloors and floor joists. Over a short period, this hidden moisture causes wood rot, ruined laminate or hardwood flooring, structural weakening, and severe mold growth that creates costly repair bills and health hazards. Verification: Inspect the floor around the base immediately for softness, dampness, or discoloration.
