When a toilet is initially constructed it is secured to the floor with screws and the junction is sealed with a liberal application of beeswax. When a toilet is securely fastened and maintained properly, proper function including no water leakage or odor present is the norm and not the exception. An indication of possible need of attention is the presence of black mold on the floor near the base of the toilet. Also evidence of water leakage or an unpleasant odor originating from the toilet base is a reliable indicator of the need for a toilet flange repair. Regardless of who does the repair of a toilet flange, the following criterion is paramount for a job well done. It is also important to follow certain procedures, from diagnosis to completion of the job. Tools and materials: screws, screw driver, flange bolts, wax rings, caulk and a flange repair kit.
