Toilets seal to the floor with wax or rubber, and each has tradeoffs. Here is the Smyrna guide.
The wax ring
Wax rings are the traditional choice, sealing well but single-use — a re-seat needs a new one.
The rubber seal
Rubber or foam seals are reusable and more forgiving if the toilet needs to be lifted.
The choice
Both work when the flange is level and solid. A pro picks the right one for your floor.
The call
A proper seal stops base leaks. Call 888-217-3585 and Smyrna, TN Plumbing Pros will match you with a Smyrna pro.
