What causes a toilet to leak from the base when flushing?

A toilet leaking at the base when you flush signals an issue at the toilet-to-floor connection that needs an on-site assessment. Apollo Plumbing inspects how the toilet’s components work together, then advises repair or replacement with an up-front price and a written guarantee. If a deeper blockage is suspected, we can run a camera to verify the main drain. Emergency help is available 24/7 in areas like Seattle and Everett.

Quick checks:

• Turn off the toilet’s shutoff valve.
• Avoid using the fixture.
• Note if water appears only when flushing.
