   You can easily see if there are any serious damages caused by leaks by checking if the floor is soft around toilets. Sit reversed on the toilet (facing the tank) with your feet on the floor. Rock your weight onto each foot in turn and see if you can feel any weakness or "give" in the floor. When you have a problem like this to deal with, the earlier you detect it, the less expensive it will be to take care of.

They could also burst costing you a lot of money and repairs.

If you do not drain and disconnect them, they can cause damage to the water pipes that run through your house that they are connected to. There are some places where leaving hoses connected is okay, though. If you have an area that doesn't dip below freezing, like a garage, then you can leave them connected.
