Why does your toilet rock or move when you sit down?
A toilet should feel solid and stable. Even a small amount of movement can indicate a problem with the mounting hardware, floor, or fl**ge hidden beneath the bowl.
Possible causes include:
• Loose toilet bolts
• An uneven tile or finished floor
• A fl**ge that isn’t securely attached
• Broken or corroded fl**ge bolt slots
• Incorrect fl**ge height
• Water damaged flooring beneath the toilet
A rocking toilet may not leak immediately, but continued movement can disturb the wax ring and allow water or sewer gas to escape.
