I have a Kohler toilet tank in one of the bathrooms that sweats so much that
it forms small puddles on the tile floor.

This worries me because I fear it will eventually soak into the baseboard
and down to the subfloor and cause a moisture problem.
I can't spend all day running back and forth to dry it off.

I've been told that it is because the humidity is too high in my house and
that I should get a dehumidifyer. That is out of the question, I cannot
afford one.
Though there is a certain amount of humidity, it makes it easier on the
sinuses this time of year.

The water here is quite cold right now, and I would like a simple solution
to this problem.

Have any of you any suggestions that are at little or no cost?

TIA!

Often overlooked is a tank fill valve which is
leaking. The leak may be so small that you won't see/hear it,
but fresh, cold water may be constantly running into the tank.
(This can also be caused by a leaking flapper.)

Before you insulate or dehumidify or re-plumb the house g,
put some food coloring in the tank water. Don't flush.
See if the color appears in the bowl an hour later.

Jim-

Excellent suggestion Jim.
