Leaking Toilet? How to Replace a Wax Ring Like a Pro 💧 (Step-by-Step Fix)
What happens here
Once the tank is full, replace the lid and flush the toilet several times. Carefully inspect all connections (supply line, tank-to-bowl) and the base of the toilet for any signs of leaks. To ensure the wax ring is properly seated and there are no obstructions, flush some toilet paper. The presenter suggests treating it like a 'five-year-old' would to ensure proper functionality and drainage. Some toilet models (like those with large collars) fill quickly, allowing for repeated testing.
Goal: Flush the toilet multiple times and inspect the base and connections for any new leaks, including checking for wax hang-ups by flushing toilet paper.
