If you’ve noticed dampness or water pooling around the base of the toilet, don’t look the other way—unless you want to pay for ripping up and replacing rotted floorboards. Chances are you have a failed seal where the toilet meets the floor, and the problem won’t go away unless the toilet is “pulled and reset”—in other words, lifted up to get to the source of the problem. Luckily, in competent hands, it’s usually a pretty quick fix.
