How much should you pay to install a toilet?
Depends on whether you already purchased it and whether other parts are needed. If you have the toilet, a Kant leak, a wax seal,FLEXIBLE toilet supply, and the (nuts,bolts and washers) for screwing the toilet to the floor flange, plumber should not charge more than one hour of his rate to install it. Make sure the plumber does NOT silicone around the toilet. If there is a leak from the wax seal under the toilet and it is siliconed, the water stays under the toilet and rots the floor, if you are on a wood floor.
What would happen if a toilet was installed without a wax ring seal?
The water trap, which traps sewer gases, is built into the toilet. Without a wax ring you'll have sewer gases entering the house. Waste water leaking onto the floor is the least concern. Regards, Steve D
Should you seal the gap between your toilet and tile floor with silicone... why or why not?
If the toilet is sitting solid on the floor, you don't need to. I would use latex instead of silicone because if you should ever have to pull the toilet, it would be much easier. One reason not to seal it down would be if the wax ring should ever fail. You could have a lot of damage to the floor before you noticed the leak.

Will a leak in the wax ring of the toilet interfere with the flushing pressure of a toilet?
The wax ring is just to seal the toilet to the drain. It has no effect on the flushing.
You have replaced the wax seal in your toilet about six times in the last year since total rehab you understand the plumber installed a toto toilet is that a potential cause of your problems?
Do not use silicone at the base of the toilet after seating the wax ring. You must use grout. The rocking of the toilet will wear the wax ring seal.
What is the correct wax seal for a toilet flange that sits flush with the subfloor?
I would get the extra thick one. You should have to push down on the toilet to make the wax ring seal. If the toilet sits on the floor by itself, stack 2 rings on top of each other.
Toilet flange is below the tile and 1 wax seal does not touch both the toilet and the flange Will two wax seals work?
yes....2 or 3 seals stacked
How does a wax seal goes bad?
Either it was not thick enough to start with to make a good seal or the toilet was not bolted down tight and that allowed the toilet to rock. Each time it rocks a little water and debris get between the seal and the toilet. Eventually the seal leaks.
Why is there a foul smell by the toilet?
You may need to replace the wax seal under the toilet. It isn't difficult to do, but will take a lot of time.

Causes of a toilet leak at the base?
Wax ring is leaking. Wasn't thick enough to begin with, bolts were not tightened down enough, bolts broke or rusted off, flange the bolts hook into broke, floor rotted from another leak and let the toilet rock and break the seal on the wax ring. Could be any one of these or two combined.
