This question isn't about toilets, but I'm hoping that someone will be able to answer my question.
This morning I discovered that a toilet on the 2nd floor of my home has been leaking (bad wax ring) and seeping under the vinyl floor. My question is will the subfloor need to be ripped out and replaced now?
The house is just over 2 years old and we had the same problem in another bathroom this summer (which the builder repaired under warranty). The builder only replaced the wax ring in the first situation because they said that there was no damage to the floor in the bath, or the ceiling in the room below. But the floor in the master bath now has raised areas around the toilet, which is how I figured out that there was a problem.
Any info that you could give would be greatly appreciated!
