I don’t know if these pictures will illustrate the issue well, but there were two things wrong with the setting of this tile and closet fl**ge (the thing your toilet sits on). There were two layers of 3/4” plywood put down, the first structural, the second is the substrate that the tile@was set on. Neither the tile nor the top layer of tile went under the closet fl**ge and there was a sizable gap where water could pe*****te if the wax ring seal leaks. The best I could do was caulk around the perimeter of the closet fl**ge. Not ideal, but the best thing I could do short of tearing the floor out. 🤷🏼♂️
