A toilet can leak clean supply water, tank water or contaminated water from the bowl or drain. The path through the floor may look alike from downstairs, but the cleanup decisions differ. Water at the flange can also soak the subfloor before a lower ceiling begins to drip.

Calling for water removal matters even when the upstairs drip has ended. A Lake Milton technician can find damp insulation that the ceiling stain does not reveal.
