Common term used by plumbers:
Backup
A backup occurs when water overflows from a plumbing fixture. This typically happens when a clog develops in a pipe. If a backup occurs in a sink drain, there is probably a clog further down the line. If a backup occurs in a toilet, the toilet itself may be clogged, or there may be a clog elsewhere.
Question often asked to plumbers: What’s the easiest way to check for toilet leaks?
When water leaks from a toilet tank into the toilet itself, huge amounts of water can be wasted. The trouble is that such leaks aren’t clearly evident because water doesn’t end up on the floor. From time to time, put dye in the tank of your toilet. Check back again in a few hours. If the water in the bowl is still clear, you don’t have a leak. If the water is tinged the color of the dye, there is a leak. Contact a qualified plumber.
