Plumbing, ugh...
My mother had a new toilet installed 4 days ago she bought from Lowes and had one of their contractors install...It was leaking water, so the guy came back to fix it, then it leaked again...She got so upset with that installer she called Roto-Rooter and they came out, turns out the original installer used the old wax ring...So Roto-Rooter replaced the wax ring and left, later that day the toilet is still leaking, she called them back, they came out and fixed it, evidently it was also leaking around one of the tank seals too...
Yesterday I get a call from her telling me this story and the fact that its still leaking, so I went over there to look...Its leaking from the tank seal alright, and when I tried to loosen the bolts they were so tight I'm surprised the porcelain didn't crack...I took the tank off, inspected the seal, it had a flat spot in it that I didn't like when I felt it around but tried it anyway once more, realigned and bolted the tank back on...It still leaked but not like it was...This was late in the evening last night, so I cut the water off and this morning going to Lowes when she calls me and get a new seal and replace it, she has another toilet in the house to use...This is a brand new toilet never used and 5 days after installation it still leaks after two licensed plumbers had their hands on it, now I'm finishing that job...
