What might cause this?? Last night we had about 3 couples and their kids over. At the end of the night, I noticed the tank on the newly installed toilet had a bunch of condesation on it and it was dripping all over.
The only thing I can think of is that it has been really cold the last few weeks, temps in the single digits. Then yesterday we set a record high of high 60's for the day.
The only thing I can figure out is that because of the really cold weather, the water in the ground is colder than normal and then with the house being warmer than usual with unusual warm temp and a houseful of people, probably using the toilet a bunch. I'm thinking on a normal day, the water set in the pipes long enough to warm up a bit, but with all the people the water kept getting refreshed and the coldest water outside was coming in causing the problem.
Is there anything else that might be at play??? The toilet has been installed for about a week and never noticed this and today, the problem isn't there.
Main lines coming in are copper, then I have pex feeding the toilet.
Thanks for any response....
