It may be the subject of more jokes than any other item in your home, but the toilet is also in many ways the epicenter of your home plumbing system. Like the canary in the coal mine, it's the fixture that alerts you to bigger problems -- If you flush it and water comes up in another drain somewhere else, it's a sure sign you have s serious leak in your pipes somewhere. Likewise, the typical toilet uses so much water that any slight deviation in its normal operation can cause you water bill to expand exponentially. Put simply, your toilet is the appliance that's most important to your plumbing. It's incredibly important to keep it maintained and working properly. 

Most of the attention on toilet plumbing issues centers on the toilet tank itself, perhaps because it's a charming, old-school mechanism just about anyone can learn to tinker with. Most folks know how to stop a toilet whose tank won't fill up, or how to get rid of a simple clog, or how to replace a faulty stopper, or how to adjust the arm or chain for maximum efficiency. But toilets connect to the floor, and this is why leaks become so important to stop in a toilet: the seal between it and the floor is vital, as are the bolts which hold it down. 
​
Especially in the bathroom, site of so many horrible household accidents, keeping your tile dry is of paramount importance. And sometimes you're faced with leaks that aren't so obvious, like those that occur when the tank begins leaking into the bowl. It's probably that rubber stopper -- unless the tank itself has a hairline crack in it. If you have one, you've moved from a routine toilet problem into a real emergency.
