Forgive me if this has been discussed in the past. I did a couple of searches of the forum and did not come up with anything on my problem.
I have a problem with the wax ring not sealing in one of our bathrooms. The house is about 9 years old, and a few months ago we realized the wax ring was seeping. So I replaced it with a new, regular No Seep ring (I think a No. 3?)
This did not help, so I replaced it with one with the plastic horn inside. This did not work either.
So last weekend I replaced the whole toilet thinking it might be defective, using a horned wax ring. This is now seeping as well.
The flange sits 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the finished floor surface. The flange is securely screwed to the subfloor, and the toilet does not rock. I have placed the toilet bowl on the flange without repositioning it, and tightened the hold down bolts snug but not too tight.
What else can I do here?
I do plan on trying a thicker or maybe two wax rings this weekend.
Any other ideas or tips? I'm kind of at my wits end.
