We restore water damage 24 hours a day in Itasca County.

Our local Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing teams have been restoring water damage in Taconite for many years. A leaking toilet can lead to extensive property damage if it is allowed to continue leaking. Water is invasive and over time, even a small leak will cause water damage to floors, baseboards, walls, and ceilings, potentially leading to mold growth and structural issues. Common causes of toilet leaks include worn-out flapper valves, loose connections, and cracked tanks or bowls.

Regularly inspecting your toilet for signs of leaks is crucial in preventing damage. Look for water pooling around the base, discoloration of flooring, or a constantly running toilet. Addressing leaks quickly can save you from costly repairs and potential mold outbreaks. Tightening loose connections, replacing worn-out parts, or using a quality sealant can often resolve minor issues.

However, if the problem persists, it will be necessary to bring in professionals to access the situation and repair the leak. Taking proactive steps to maintain your toilet can protect your home from the silent but severe threat of water damage.
