Muddy water is flowing into my tub - I plunged the tub and the muddy water drained out but as soon as I start running the water, tub clogs up with water (not mud) Do you know what could be causing this?

Thanks.

The base of my toilet leaks. I had the flax? Flange? Something "ring" replaced in it and it still leaks. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Well I had the same problem about 2 years ago I changed the wax seal 3 times and still leaked so I took the bowl off the floor and found a small crack I had no choice to buy a new bowl or could be the bottom of the bowl is dirty and not making a good bond to the wax seal

Let find out exactly where the moisture's coming from. Flush the toilket, wait a few minutes until the tank fills and takd a square of TP and swipe it down the back of the tank and bowl. If it comes back showing moisture let me know. Can you see water leaving the base w3hen you flush? Was it a plumber that replaced the wax seal? Feel the supply. Any moisture there? Let me know.

Hi Cassie,
I just read your other post and think the two might be connected. If water form the blockage backed up past the wax seal it would leak ou from the base. Let's clear the tub and go from there. Snake the tub from the tub waste,(see image). Unscrew and remove the overflow plate,(The one with the drain lever) and pull out the tub stopper. You now have a clear shot at the trap. The way you were going in through the drain it ran you square into a tee that you can't get around. Now feed the cable( 1/4" best or 3/3" with a small tip. You can rent a Ridgid K50 sink cable.) About 2' down you will run into the bend of the trap. Crank and push at the same time to work around it. Your blockage will be found in the lateral pipe going to the stack. You shouldn't have to put out more then 10 or 12 feet. I have found tub and shower clogs to be mostly hair and the worm should auger into it and pull it back. Hope this helps and thank you for rating my reply. TOM
