I noticed a spot on my kitchen ceiling slowly getting larger. It is now around 6" in diameter. Originally I thought it was the roof leaking (it is right at the sunroom split) but after testing, it is the toilette in the master bath above it. We flushed a few times and after about 3-4 flushed water started dripping. Nuts.
So my plan is to remove the toilette and hope to God it is the wax seal. Easy fix. If it is not, then my next steps are to start ripping stuff apart to find the leak. It is all PVC btw.
My question is should I break up the ceramic tile under the toilette and cut through the subfloor or go at it from below necessitating ceiling repair? The ceiling right now could be fixed with a little putty and some Kilz. It is a very visible section right in the middle of the room and I am not that good at drywall so would have to farm out the finish work if I cut a hole.
What would a plumber do in this situation?
