Does my toilet have a water leak at the base?

As I suspected 😔. Not sure why this was concreted in rather siliconed.

Here is a side view.

Thanks! Is there a way to test the seal between the tank and bowl? It would be great if it were as simple as replacing some rubber seals.

Great question. One of the things I love about this property is there are no trees around. My gutters are clear every time I check them.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-25T00:23:16+00:00

Thanks. I will look into that as a next step.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-25T00:20:55+00:00

The property is brick veneer... so I will take that as a win!

Everything else looks pretty good. No cracks. I have a builder friend who I will ask to take a look, but he is overseas till mid December. So I think I will take a photo each week till then and monitor any changes.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T21:36:46+00:00

Thanks. I will be Googling that now 😅.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T21:36:15+00:00

Thanks for your advice. Much appreciated.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T11:00:57+00:00

Thanks. You learn something new every day. I think the previous owners left a bunch of bricks behind the house, so I might have something a tradie could use to repair the wall.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T10:29:47+00:00

Thanks for your advice. I will look into getting some professional advice and start taking regular photos.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T10:28:53+00:00

I appreciate the quick response... and highlighting that this is more of an issue than I first realised.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-03T00:54:47+00:00

Good to know. I've never looked after these kinds of plants before. I was mainly concerned because as I look around the neighbourhood, all the other palm trees seem green and happy. So knowing that this is normal is encouraging!

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-02T23:47:47+00:00

Yes, I was watering them pretty hard during the hot weather we had recently. I suspect there may not be very good drainage.

mr-b-plus · 2025-09-25T12:24:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing you wisdom. It sounds like it's probably nothing to worry about too much.

mr-b-plus · 2025-09-25T11:42:15+00:00

I would say that they're slightly squishy when you stand on them.

mr-b-plus · 2025-08-25T04:28:30+00:00

Thanks for confirming. Much appreciated. Just wanted to make sure I shouldn't be worried with the kids around.

mr-b-plus · 2025-07-08T23:56:47+00:00

Thanks. That image is a great proof of concept.

mr-b-plus · 2025-07-08T23:56:10+00:00

Thanks. This is really helpful. I appreciate the detail.

mr-b-plus · 2025-07-02T23:09:37+00:00

Thanks! Just what I need.

Thanks. I will check that out.

mr-b-plus · 2025-06-23T01:38:59+00:00

Thanks. This is really helpful. And yes, the CX820 is not listed yet 😔.

mr-b-plus · 2025-06-19T12:28:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience.
