Dear Mr Love: I recently removed a basement toilet that was leaking (badly) from beneath the base. The flange (PVC) had not been glued to the PVC waste drain and the waste drain had a crack at the top. I assumed that this was the leak. I epoxied the crack, and later test fit the flange. When test fit, the flange is 3/4" higher on one side. Could this have been the leak? Do I reinstall the toilet with one wax ring or two? Should the wax ring be cut at an angle to compensate for the un-level flange? The floor is level. The PVC waste drain is in concrete. Could the crack at the top of the waste drain have been a result of the uneven flange? Thanks for your help, this is a terrific website!!! |
