Shut Off Water Supply and Drain Toilet

What happens here

Locate the water supply line to the toilet and turn off the water supply by rotating the shut-off valve. Flush the toilet to drain the tank. Use a wet/dry shop vacuum to remove any remaining water from both the toilet tank and the bowl. This prevents spills and makes the toilet lighter for removal. Place a towel around the water supply line connection to catch any drips when disconnecting.

Goal: Prepare the old toilet for removal by isolating water supply and emptying water.
