Toilet rocks when you sit on it?

When you sit on it it moves forward a tad, when you get off it rocks back to its resting posistion. I also notice when it sees a lot of activity, a small amount of water comes out of the front section where the base meets the tile.I have checked the nuts and they are tight. I assume the tile is not level and this is the problem? Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks. Gads! Water comes out? Change your bees wax ring. Those rings are supposed to last 10 years, but I'd put it on your maintenance schedule for review every 5 years or so. That's the first time in my life I've ever heard anyone say that a wax ring has an expected lifetime that short when installed under a toilet that's properly seated. What kind of failure mode occurs? Can you offer a cite, perhaps from a wax ring supplier, which states that? Jeff -- Jeffry Wisnia (W1BSV + Brass Rat '57 EE) "Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength." Our was ring failed after about a year. Turns out it wasn't seated properly to begin with. kathy |
