Our waste line recently backup and the toilet leaked at the base. After we clear the backup, can I prevent future leaks with a better seal? My flange is tilted, 3/8" low on left and 3/8" to 1/2" high on right (relative to the top of the finished floor). Floor is sheet vinyl over concrete...

My pipes aren't squeaking, I would just like to reduce the normal water flow noise associated with schedule 40 PVC pipes. The walls and soffit are already open from some other work. Without replacing the PVC pipes are there any easy steps I can take to reduce the noise? I've seen some...
