Hi.. thanks for any help. I have a full bathroom in the garage, and a full bathroom upstairs. Whenever someone takes a shower at either the upstairs or downstairs shower, water leaks from the base of the downstairs toilet. thanks again!! Some things I found out or tried:
- it is definately coming from the base of the toilet, i have watched it slowly seep out. and the back and side of the bowl and tank are dry.
- when using the upstairs shower, water will leak from the base of the toilet AND the downstairs tub has water backed up into it.
- the leak only appears when someone is taking a long shower. the leak will appear approximately 7 minutes into a shower, then water will start to steadily seep out from the base of the toilet. i come back 1 hour later and flush the toilet while running the water in the downstairs shower, but the leak doesn't appear. i come back another hour later and flush the toilet 4 consecutive times, still no leak. so the only time there is a leak is during long showers.
- pouring draino into the downstairs shower does nothing!
