I am in California (if that matters). This is a recent build.
I recently started noticing a loud noise when I get up after using the toilet. The potty is loose but not sure if it actually rocks. The toilet tank seems almost too flush with the wall behind it although I am able to remove the lid and replace it with no issues.
What could be causing the loud noise? The noise persists even when I remove the tank lid and use the potty without it. Could it be the toilet seat itself that is causing this noise? I DO intend to fix the lose toilet - we're in the midst of removing our laminate floors and replacing it with tile as my autistic teen tends to play with the water in the bathroom and there is already some sign of water damage to the floor.
I know NOTHING about construction and am not handy. I am willing to pay for peace of mind as my life with my autistic son is already very challenging. I do not want to risk any DIY and cause more issues. My biggest fear is having to get a new toilet and then mess with the drain lines etc if the toilet was installed too close to the drywall. Should I fix the toilet first BEFORE worrying about replacing the floor?
Please help me.
