Hey guys, My toilet has been leaking on and off for a year after I replaced the previous wax ring. I decided that I didn't want to bother with waxrings anymore so I thought a waxless seal was the way to go. Well...when I tried using one I noticed that the floorflange (or the pipe that goes down into the drain) is too small for the smallest waxless seal. Maybe it's not the pipe that's too small, but the flange itself has that little "platform" just before the floor/hole that cuts off any attempt to force the waxless pipe down into the hole. The floorflange also will not take a regular wax ring with the plastic tube/horn (the black thing that goes down the pipe) because of it; if I were to put it down on the floor flange the waxring would just sit on top but because of the platform not able to go all the way down to the floor. So...I've been having to use the waxrings without the flange. Because the floor is slightly unlevel I think this is what's causing the leaks. There's nothing on the wax's to direct the water down the pipe. Is there anything I can do without having to replace the floorflange itself? Can you buy a smaller thing or fix the wax's flanges somehow to fit? An easy way to level/shimmy the floor? I havn't done much plumbing and I'm nervous because so far everything's been going wrong. :/

Hello all, I recently replaced the float valve mechanism in my toilet flush. After that, every 10 minutes or so, the toilet makes a flushing kind of noise. But no water is visibly entering the bowl at this time. When I open the lid, I see that water is flowing into the overflow tube through the filler valve ( not by simply overflowing-the float valve is working). The water level in the flush tank does not change at all when this is happening, and neither is the water level in the bowl. I am not able to see any water entering the bowl. I am wondering if anyone could guess whats wrong, and whats the next step? Thanks!! TG
