    Mysterious toilet leak in front

    Is it possible that the lining of the porcelain was worn through somehow, allowing seepage through the porcelain?

    Mysterious toilet leak in front

    Well, it’s been a day, and no leak. I’m satisfied. The new toilet did the trick one way or another. Thanks for your help.

    Mysterious toilet leak in front

    Hm. The mystery lives on. When I pulled the toilet, I was careful to dry all the water in the bowl, and there was water at that corner, but did not appear to be in the interim. Maybe there was another crack I missed on the underside. At any rate, fingers crossed the new toilet will fix the...

    Mysterious toilet leak in front

    What’s also interesting is this line ends up exactly where the water showed up.

    Mysterious toilet leak in front

    I replied to the other guy but I wanted to let you know as well that I replaced the toilet and put the old toilet (from 1992) on sawhorses and inspected the underside. I did locate this small crack on the underside, on the side where the water was located. I am hoping the new toilet solves the...

    Mysterious toilet leak in front

    So, I did as you said and put the toilet on saw horses to examine it. On the side where the water appears, I do see this small crack on the underside. I could not find a corresponding crack on the inside of the bowl. Do you reckon this could be the root of my problem? I went ahead and replaced...

    Mysterious toilet leak in front

    Yea that’s been part of my problem. The flange is well below the floor, more than half an inch. I’ve put in one of those Korky foam wax free seals (among others over time). I don’t feel like the seal is the problem. The last one I had was installed by a licensed plumber and when I pulled it, it...

    Mysterious toilet leak in front

    I don’t notice the water level in the bowl going down—maybe it’s leaking too slowly to make an impact in between flushes? That’s a good idea about the shutoff valve. I could try that, but I am fairly confident there is no water line in the slab there—the intake runs in the wall behind the...

    Mysterious toilet leak in front

    So normally I caulk, but I was waiting on this install to see if the water comes back. The water appears to be there regardless of the last time I flushed, and as you can see, it’s not a lot of water—just enough to warn you something is wrong. It still seeps under the caulk on the grout when it...

    Mysterious toilet leak in front

    Good evening, all. I have had a hell of a time with one of my toilets. I’ve replaced the wax ring a number of times, thinking maybe it was done improperly, even had a professional plumber do it once. Each time, the water shows back up in the same spot. I recently replaced the tank to bowl...

    Tile hole too small for flange extenders

    I actually found a comment you left some years back in another thread, where you recommended two wax rings below and one above. It seems this poster had a similar flange situation to mine. Post in thread 'Toilet flange broken AND sitting below tile'...

    Tile hole too small for flange extenders

    Piggybacking off of my last question, could I just use a couple spacers to get to floor level, then add the wax ring and hydro seat?

    Tile hole too small for flange extenders

    Thank you for your response and for the helpful tip. I think this product is probably what I am looking for. Being that the old flange is much lower than the floor, do you think one wax ring would be sufficient, or would I use two and then add the hydro seat on top of that?

    Tile hole too small for flange extenders

    Good evening, first time poster, DIYer. The tile cut around my flange is too narrow of a hole for the extenders that are at the store to fit inside of. What’s the best way to go about extending the flange? I seem to have trouble getting the two stacked wax rings to not leak. Any suggestions...
