What happens here

Begin by locating the water supply valve for the toilet, typically found near the base of the toilet where the supply line connects to the wall, and turn it off completely. Next, flush the toilet to drain the water from the tank into the bowl. With the water supply off, the tank will not refill. Use a wet/dry shop vac to suction out all remaining water from the toilet tank (reservoir) and then from the toilet bowl itself. This prevents spills during removal.

Goal: Turn off the toilet's water supply, flush to empty the tank, and then use a wet/dry shop vac to remove any remaining water from both the tank and the bowl.
