This Often “Patched Symptom” Only Makes The Problem Worse And Can Cause Serious Damage
Every So Often, You May See Water Around The Base Of The Toilet. The Natural Reaction Is To Wipe It Up And Forget About It Until The Next Time
This Problem May Actually Be Caused By A Leaking Gasket Where The Base Of The Toilet Couples With The Floor Ring Attached To The Soil Drain Pipe,
Left Unattended, This Can Create A Major Structural Problem With The Floor And Sub Floor Beneath The Toilet In The Form Of Rotted Wood.
People Think OMG, I Need A Plumber-Not So. If You Are The Least Bit Handy And Have A Few Basic Tools, You Can Replace The Wax Gasket In Just A Few Minutes And Save The Plumbers Fees Which Could Run $100 Or More
Seriously, You Can Do This Project !! Click Here For The Instructions On The Next Page
First Thing You Must Do Is To Turn Off The Water Supply To The Toilet
There Usually Is A Valve On The Wall Or Floor Beneath The Water Tank : It Looks Like This :
If You Experience Difficulty In Turning This Valve, Gently Turn It Counter Clockwise First, This May Break The Seal Caused By Normal Corrosion. Then Turn Clockwise To Shut Off The Water Supply. If It Looks Severely Corroded And Green Then Shut Off The Main Water Supply.
We Will Offer A future Post And Video In Future Posts.
Now Remove The Water Supply Line From The Bottom Of The Toilet Tank 
Next, Remove The Nuts And Washer From The Toilet Mounting Bolts : This Is What They Look Like 
Once These Are Removed, You Are Ready To Pick Up The Toilet Off The Offending Wax Ring Gasket
This Is Accomplished By Rocking The Toilet Bowl Gently Side To Side And When It Feels Free, Simply Lifting It Straight Up Off The Base

The Next Step Is To Place The Toilet Over The Ring Making Sure That The Bolts Protrude Through The Mounting Holes In The Toilet Base

Next, Gently Press The Toilet Bowl Onto The Wax Ring Until The Base Is Firmly In Contact With The Floor
Now, Place The Washers And Nuts On The Mounting Bolts And Tighten. Be Careful Not To Tighten Too Much As You Can Easily Crack The Porcelain Base.
An Old Plumber Once Told Me “Tight Is Tight” Meaning Just Tighten Until It Is Snug.. Don’t Torque It Down

You Have The Toilet Back In Place, Now Re Fasten The Water Supply Line
If I Have Done This, I Usually Replace The Water Supply Hose As Well. It Is Inexpensive And You Are Sure That All Of The Seals And Gaskets Are New And Won’t Leak
You Do This By Removing The Supply Hose From The Supply Valve
Then Replace This End First .. Be Gentle And All Should Go Well
When This Is Done And Tightened Then Re Connect The Other End To The Toilet Tank 
This Should Be Hand Tightened Plus Another 1/4 Turn
Re Check All Of Your Nuts And Connections And Turn On The Water Valve–
Be Sure To Check For Leaks And Tighten Where Necessary
That Is It, You Have Completed This Task And Saved Yourself A Lot Of Money $$$$$$$$
