A new toilet must fit the rough-in, seal correctly, and sit securely on a sound flange.
Repair or replace: what to consider
Measure the rough-in before buying. Pay attention to when the symptom appears, whether water is visible, and how often the issue repeats.
What to tell a service provider
Describe the symptoms, fixture age, prior repairs, and any visible damage. Ask about diagnosis, compatible parts, availability, and pricing before authorizing work.
