Ok I never post just lurk but due to financial constraints need some advice.
I have a toilet that the cut off valve will not function correctly. I have replaced all the guts in the tank but any water that is suppose to stay in the tank flows to the toilet (and due to another issue the toilet is clogged cannot turn on my main water without risk of quickly making a horrible mess.
Is this piece called a “wax seal?”
I have 2 other bathrooms I just need to be able to turn main water on and toilet fill tank and stop per usual as I can use others until future corrections. Any advice is welcome thank you in advance.
I misstated myself I do not believe it is that seal between tank and bowel but perhaps the seal under the toilet that is leaking with no “apparent” mess but draining the tank to the bowel and then to the basement…without me seeing it happen or the remanence of it happening. Is that a possibility why there would be no water around the toilet leaking but the tank won’t fill but continues to bowel then therefore basement…so basically pull entire toilet up and redo seal under and replace… also try to enlist help to see where tank water is going(likely basement)
