Hello,
I purchased a house in March equipped with Toto toilets w/ the Unifit rough in adapter. We have a problem currently where when we use an upstairs shower, water leaks from underneath the downstairs toilet. We are still working to try and find the source of the problem. The last plumber I called suggested it was a septic field problem and I haven't been able to get anyone to look at it yet. My questions regard what to do once the cause of the water backup is solved.
Is there a wax ring between the unifit adapter and the waste pipe? If water has come back through it, does this mean the seal has been compromised and it should be replaced? Also, there appears to be a gasket at the top of the unifit adapter, where it meets the toilet. Should that also be replaced (and can it be purchased without the adapater? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
