Help! Every time I flush my toilet, it leaks. I'm in a condo, above a storage room so luckily no on lives beneath me. I had this problem looked at a year ago, and they replaced a wax seal and put a little wood shim under the toilet. The toilet is on an uneven slate floor, and so not completely flush.
It just started leaking again, and I'm not sure what to do. The wood shim has loosened up and isn't doing anything to help. Is it possible to fix the problem by simply wedging the shim back in and stabilizing the toilet? Or does the toilet need to be reset?
And - should I call in a plumber as well as someone who can perhaps cut the slate out around the toilet? Is there any other way to fix this that wouldn't require carving up the floor?
Help.. and it's the only toilet in my place, so this is somewhat of a problem!
