What Causes Toilet Flange Leak?

A toilet flange leak will be messy and frustrating issues to deal with it. There are many potential reasons for the leak of the toilet flange. Some of the collective reasons behind it are:

• Inproper Installation

If your toilet flange was not properly installed, then it might lead to a flange leak. This contains improper alignment, incorrect materials, or inadequate sealing at the time of installation.

• Damage or worn flange

Due to the constant use of flange for a long time, it may be damage, corrosion, or exposure to moisture. So, it may let water outflow onto the floor.

• Loose Bolts

The bolts that connect the flange and toilet base may be loose over time and allows water to escape at the time of flushing.

• Crack toilet base

A crack in the toilet base might cause leaks. So, look carefully to make sure that the base is intact.

• Damaged Wax Ring

The wax ring in between the toilet base and toilet flange may be break or damaged over time. So, water will leak through such wax ring & onto the floor.

• Clogs and Overflow

Sometimes, a clog in the drain of the toilet may cause water to overflow as well as leak around the toilet base.
