All toilet bowls sit on top of a wax gasket. The wax gasket prevents the flushed water from leaking out of the toilet bowl. To change the wax gasket all you have to do is

  1. Remove the toilet bowl
  2. Take out the old wax gasket
  3. Place the old gasket under the toilet bowl
  4. Reset the toilet bowl

Replacing your gasket should solve your problem of water leaking from the base of the toiletafter you flush it. keep in mind that even if your toilet (mostly basement toilets backup due to sewer clog) over flows due to a sewer backup, you still should change your wax gasket if the sewer water comes out from the base of the toilet as-well.

This is important, as many customers call us because they have a sewer smell in the house even though there is no sewer backup. Mostly it is due to open sewer caps, dried out drains or toilet bowls with broken wax gaskets. Wax gaskets do not need to be changed regularly. Change them if needed.
