Leak Resolution and Flange Correction in Master Bathroom – Toilet Recaulking and Flange Repair in San Diego

This service call involved a warranty follow-up and a new repair in the client’s master bathroom. One year after a toilet reset, the homeowner observed minor moisture intrusion and brown staining near the toilet base. Our technician removed the discolored silicone caulking and applied a new sanitary-grade seal under warranty. Further inspection revealed that the original flange was positioned too high above the finished floor, compromising the effectiveness of the wax seal. We performed a non-warranty corrective repair by cutting down the raised section of the flange and installing a PVC repair flange at the proper elevation, secured with stainless steel screws and sealed for leak protection.
