Yesterday my husband and I removed a toilet because it had been rocking and begun leaking at the base. We figured it needed a new wax seal which we could do ourselves based on previous experience. Unfortunately, we discovered that it appeared that the flange hadn't been properly installed. One side was fairly even with the linoleum flooring while the other seemed slightly tipped upwards. (We had some poorly executed renovation done last year, but that's another story). We think that the plastic flange might need to be replaced.
While we decide the next step, the toilet is parked in the shower and the pipe has been plugged to prevent sewer gas from coming up. There's some very good advice on the net, which is how I found this site, and also some great products for the do-it-yourselfer. We aren't intimidated by a project, but don't want to be stupid about this either. Are we at the point when we should call in the plumber, or with good advice and products we can proceed?
I welcome your comments.
