Step 1 · Shut Off Water and Drain Tank

Begin by locating the water supply shutoff valve, typically on the wall behind the toilet. Turn the valve clockwise until it stops to cut off the water supply to the tank. Flush the toilet to drain the majority of the water from the tank. There will be about an inch of water left at the bottom; use a large sponge to soak up this remaining water, wringing it out into a bucket until the inside of the tank is completely dry. Place old towels on the floor around the base of the toilet to catch any residual drips.
