Toilet Flange and Rocking Toilet
Hi.
We had a leak in our toilet so we had to pull out the wood floor. We are getting ready to replace the wood, but want to ensure we can solve the issue.
We had issues with our toilet rocking and the last plumber just doubled up the wax rings and then caulked around the base of the toilet to stablize it. Little did we know that our leak would not appear until it was bad enough to come out the sides of the caulk. Anyway, we are now replacing the rotten floor and want to see if we can stop the toilet from rocking.
What causes the toilet to rock. The flange sits above the finished floor level (probably between 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Is that what causes the rocking? Is this able to be fix by a plumber or do we just have to hope we don't have the issue again.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
