Step 1 · Shut Off Water and Remove Toilet

Begin by preparing the work area. Lay down old towels or a tarp around the base of the toilet to catch any residual water. Turn off the water supply by rotating the shut-off valve on the wall behind the toilet clockwise. Flush the toilet and hold the handle down to drain as much water as possible from the tank and bowl. Use a sponge and bucket to remove any remaining water from the tank and bowl. Finally, disconnect the water supply line from the bottom of the toilet tank using an adjustable wrench.
