If it didn't leak before the tile guy reinstalled it then he is at fault.
Forget the better business thing, tell him that damages are mounting and he
will take care of it or you'll hire someone to do it and sue him for
compensation. That's what small claims court is for.

Just had some tile work done in a bathroom upstairs. Part of the job
involved removing and replacing a toilet. Job was finished about 2
weeks ago. I just noticed some discoloration on the ceiling below the
bathroom. I thought it might be moisture, had my wife flush, and sure
enough, when she flushed I heard some "heavy drips". My tile guy says
he thinks it is a pipe problem that he had nothing to do with. He
says what he did (replace the toilet) is a no brainer. He thinks if
it was a problem with the part between the john and the pipe that he
replaced, we would have a leak all the time, not just when we flush.
I guess my question is : Is it highly unlikely, as my tile guy claims,
that he could have caused a problem like this just by replacing the
toilet?
Any opinions appreciated!- Hide quoted text -

Get a new wax ring and reinstall it don,t use 2 as thats what amatures
do use reguler flanged seal if the floor boy did good job thats all
you need. When you lift toilet look at the hieght of floor versus
height of flange they should be very close to same no more than
quarter inch high low
