Periodically, a seal fails on one of the rear discharge toilets in one of the many apartments above me in my line. This causes water to damage the sheet rock on the backside (the face towards the waste stack) which leads to damage on the face side necessitating replacement. In the past I've used regular sheet rock only to have to replace it again when the next toilet seal fails.
Since I'm growing older and am tired of replacing the sheet rock and repainting after every toilet seal failure in one of the many units above me are there any other materials or approaches I should use? (I thought of using greenboard for a paintable surface but I'm not sure if this is the answer.)
Thanks so much,
Joe
