What we found
The plumbing fault
An external manhole was blocked and backed-up drainage was forcing water towards the property. Replacing toilet parts would not have corrected a restriction further along the drainage route.

Blocked manhole mistaken for a toilet leak in Earl Shilton
Water appearing inside this Earl Shilton home initially suggested a fault with the toilet, but diagnosis showed the toilet itself was not the cause.
What AFS did
Diagnosis and repair
AFS rodded and cleared the obstruction, restored the flow and resolved the internal symptoms without unnecessary toilet repairs.
Useful guidance
What to watch for
Gurgling, a rising water level or repeated slow flushing can all indicate a downstream restriction. Correct diagnosis avoids replacing serviceable parts and focuses the repair where it is needed.
