The plumbing in our home is over two decades old, so I wasn’t surprised to find that one of the toilets had sprung a leak. After examining it more closely, I saw that water was seeping out from the valve stem on the toilet’s water supply valve assembly. Turning the knob tighter didn’t fix the problem. Not counting the trip to Home Depot, the repair took about 30 minutes and $5 to complete. For all the details, click on the link or thumbnail image below.
