Kid's toilet keeps leaking from under the toilet. This will be the 3rd time I've changed the wax seal in the past year. Still leaking.

Checked the bolts. Checked the flange. Checked the milk in the freezer.

What could it be jounge?

Dood, if YOUR ####### is leaking

You should have dug a deeper hole. Call it quits on that one and dig a new outhouse.

Have you checked you joists?


Nov 5, 2020, 9:02 AM

Seems plausible that those for good and rotted, thus the toilet is dipping down and causing an issue.

Cheapass toilet, or wax seal.


Nov 5, 2020, 9:09 AM

Have you tried one of those fool-proof seals from Lowes?
You just mount the seal on the bottom of the toilet aligned with the bolts and set it straight down. Lines up perfectly every time and has werked for me.

Every toilet in our house has leaked since we purchased it. I've replaced every one of them too because the toilet sucks. But a straight wax ring is a major PITA to set right. Try one of the idiot-proof ones. If that still leaks, I'd check the toilet itself, or the pipe.

are you 100% sure the flange is not cracked. I had the same issue and it was the flange. is the toilet seated solid. no rocking side to side. id shop vac and clean the heck out of the flange and check it again. id also check the toilet depending on the age. good luck. i paid a plumber and the new flange parts and labor was $650.

Check for cracked flange.

Also check that the china doesn't have a hairline crack.
