While a toilet leaking at the bottom is not an immediate geyser emergency, it is a high-urgency plumbing issue that requires prompt repair. Allowing unsanitary wastewater to seep continuously onto your bathroom floor causes hidden moisture accumulation in subfloors and floor joists. Over a short timeframe, this leads to structural wood rot, ruined flooring materials, and hazardous mold growth that results in expensive repairs if left unaddressed. Verification: Inspect the floor around the base immediately for softness, dampness, or discoloration.
