Toilet wax rings are pretty reliable and usually last the life of the toilet, but if one is installed improperly and begins to leak, water damage to the subfloor is inevitable. As the wax ring continues to leak, the subfloor gets wet and spongy, and that compounds the problem by creating wider separations in the ring through which more water can leak. | Toilet wax rings are pretty reliable and usually last the life of the toilet, but if one is installed improperly and begins to leak, water damage to the subfloor is inevitable.

=====Toilet Seat Replacement===== | |||

We bought a new toilet seat (with a built in toddler/child seat). I’ve been trying to get our old seat off to no avail. I’ve looked online and can’t seem to find anything that works. I can replace the seat myself as I’ve replaced this one before, but I can’t seem to get the bottom part to come off or loosen. Pictures to show that I feel like I’m stripping the coating on this. Home Depot employee and a helpful old man recommended the tool in the last picture. Any advice? | |||
