I'm almost 100% sure my toilet is leaking. Because, directly underneath it is our kitchen and where the toilet sits, on the kitchen ceiling I'm seeing moisture starting to form on the ceiling.

So to make a long story short, took off the whole toilet, and I'm down to the 4' lead bend sticking up through the hole for the toilet. I heard it's close to impossible to refit almost any type of material to the lead bend and that I'll have to cut off the old bell on the stack and refit the whole bend into pvc.

Is there any other way to avoid this without building a platform under the toilet?


Thanks again

$225.00... sounds like a deal to me... ;) No worries plus a one year warranty!

Go for it!
