Good thread. Don’t panic, but we had a rental house down on Marco Island that had a faulty connector on the back of the toilet. Of course it broke and of course flooded for 3 days or so before our homewatch guy found it. 26K in damage.
Casually, the adjuster mentioned that there was a class action law suit going on against the connector maker, DuraPro. I looked into it. Sure enough, he was right. Long story short, I was awarded ~3K for my trouble. Better than nothing.
Next time your plumber stops by, you might ask him/her to check those.
