But, occasionally, water will begin to leak out from under the toilet and spill onto the floor, which can lead to serious water damage. But this type of leak is easy to diagnose and fix, even if you've never attempted a plumbing repair. The leak is usually caused when the seal under the toilet fails. Even if this hasn't happened to one of your toilets yet, this Home Care is for you.

The siphon in a toilet is shaped like an upside-down U, connecting the toilet bowl to the pipes leading down to the sewer. In the toilet's resting state, most of the water does not rise from the bottom of the bowl through the siphon. However, when water is rapidly added to the toilet via either the flushing mechanism or someone pouring water into the bowl, the siphon tube fills up completely; this in turn creates a pressure differential.
