If your toilet is leaking, your immediate first step is to turn off the water supply valve located on the wall behind the toilet to stop the flow of water. Next, determine the source of the leak: if water pools around the base, the wax ring has failed; if water drips from under the tank, internal gaskets need replacement; if the tank runs constantly, replace the flapper valve. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves when handling wastewater and plumbing fixtures. Verification: Dry the area completely after making repairs and monitor for moisture during subsequent flush cycles.
