leaking close-coupled cistern
I discovered a leak which I think was coming from the bottom of the
cistern where the exit pipe runs to the bowl. The cistern is enclosed in a nice cupboard :-((( We had clean water seeping between the bowl and the floor. I think a very slow leak has been running from the exit pipe and then ending up behind the bowl and the exiting on the floor With much swearing I got a hand in and tightened the joint as much as a could (perhaps 1/16 of a turn.) the leak is now much more and seems to occur when the toilet is flushed - as witnessed by water coming through a joint in the 'skirting board' bit of the cupboard. - ie a different place. there isnt enough space to get a mirror/torch round the cistern to have look and see what s going on . there is just enough space for a forearm. IS there a likely source of the leak before I (or perhaps someone who knows a bit more about it ) removes the bowl, takes the cupboard apart and has a look ? |
