Toilet tank loss - Taunton, MA

This homeowner suffered a water loss from his leaking toilet tank.

Nothing is worse than the experience of a leaky toilet. Chances are pretty good that you will deal with a cracked or broken toilet tank at least once in your life time.

There are many reasons why your toilet tank may break, but generally it is due from age. As a toilet gets older, it becomes more prone to cracking. 

Any repairs you do on your toilet may cause cracking of the tank, or by simply placing the toilet tank cover on may also cause cracking. 

If your toilet suffered a sudden impact, a hair dryer dropping, falling into the toilet could cause your tank to leak. 

Toilets have also been known to leak at the gasket. As your toilet ages so does that gasket. The gasket is supposed to help create a seal between the toilet and the plumbing lines in your home. If you notice that your toilet leaks when you flush it, it is probably a worn gasket.
