    If a Toilet Bowl Is Cracked All the Way Through, Is it Possible to Fix it?
    Hi, All!

    My basement toilet has had a very thin crack in the bowl for years. It's enough though, that when it's flushed, some water gets onto the floor

    Is there a way to fix it?

    Thanks!

    Hey Clough.
    If your're losing water out oin the floor with everty flush It's my guess that you're also losing water back down the drain pipeas he bowl just sets there,
    Does the ballcock kick on every once in as while by itself?
    The fact that you get sewage on your floor every time you flush alone should make you want to replace the bowl. And that's exactly what you should do.
    Try to get a bowl by the same manufacture so you won't have to replace the tank also.
    Bottom line?
    Bite the bullet and replace either the bowl or the entire toilet,
    Good luck, Tom
