Our technician showed up at this Kirkwood cabin to check out a toilet the homeowner thought needed replacing. During inspection, we found the leak wasn't coming from the toilet itself but from a bad wax ring seal where the fixture meets the drain flange. The tight bathroom installation beneath the vanity structure made diagnosis tricky, but the team identified moisture patterns showing the seal had broken down over time, likely sped up by the cabin's seasonal occupancy and temperature swings. We explained to the homeowner that full replacement wasn't needed and went ahead with a professional reseat and wax ring installation. Riley Heating Plumbing And Air fixed the issue completely, getting everything working right again without the expense of a new fixture.
