Does a leaking toilet bowl make you cringe...it should!!! • For more home improvement tips visit https://www.homerepairtutor.com/👍🏼 • Today's video shares three causes of a leaking toilet base • 1. Bad wax ring • 2. Broken closet flange • 3. Cracked bowl • Wax rings more than 10 years old can fail. This leads to a gap between your bowl and the wax ring. • Choose a wax ring that doesn't have a plastic horn. The plastic horn narrows the flow of waste and can lead to clogs. • While you're inspecting the wax ring you should also look closely at the closet flange. If it's cracked or broken you should replace it. • But which type of closet flange should you choose? • We discuss several options in the video. Including a closet flange that fits inside cast iron pipes. • PLUS: if your closet flange is either below or even with the finished floor you need raise it. • How do you do that without calling a plumber? • Use closet flange extension rings...they go by other names as well. • The ring is adhered to the existing closet flange with 100% silicone and screwed to the finished floor or subfloor. • On top of all the toilet bowl leak tips we also have suggestions for how to prevent toilet water from splashing onto your floor. • I love this product called Liquilock by Oatey, it gels the water in the p-trap of the toilet bowl and prevents it from sloshing on the floor. • Check out the video for all the details • • Tips for Fixing a Leaking Toilet Bowl...
