I've got to replace the floor in my basement bathroom, the toilet is leaking around the base. Except that I'll probably have to hire someone since this is the third time things have gotten to the point the floor needs ripped out. Both previous hires insist that there was nothing obviously wrong with the toilet. Floor's solid, flange is fine, ring-whatever-it's-called was fine. 



Anyone faced a similar problem? What was the fix? I want this to be the last time I gotta deal with this.

Are you sure it's the toilet? 



I had a toilet that I thought was leaking. The pipe at the shutoff valve was slowly leaking and it just looked like it was the toilet because the water collected at the base of the toilet.



Put a cup under the shutoff valve and check it in a few days

Yes, I'm sure. Sometimes water is pushed out on top of the floor around the base after a flush, and the valve is further away and dry.

Get a new fucking toilet you idiot it's cracked where you can't see

Fucking subhuman ape

Could be condensation as well dripping from the tank, if you live in a hot humid area. That trolled me into replacing a wax ring that didn't need to be replaced.



Only place a toilet can leak is around the ring. You can use two, clean the old wax off the mating surfaces of the floor and toilet (wd40 works excellent for this) then double up two rings, soften them with a hairdryer, then set the toilet down and ensure a damn good seal.



If that doesn't fix it then the waters coming from somewhere else.

No it's probably just condensation. OP is going to rip out the subfloor again. Pay attention.

I can't even understand you """people""" anymore 

Maybe it's just time to go

Or even if you have a hot bath or shower.
