Hello,

Regarding the wax ring seal under toilets -

Would you expect that if it is beginning to go, or has gone "a little",
that you would see water leakage only when you flush, or
all the time ?

How long do these things typically last ?
Are there new types, or is it still the waxy material ?

Thanks,
Bob



It will leak when (just after) flushing. They can last a long long time,
but if the floor settles or the toilet is knocked/bumped, it can break the
seal. If the flange is too low in the floor - you can stack two rings.
