Re: A few good reasons new home buyers need us!
That caulk was latex caulk that somebody squirted under the toilet to try and level it out. They must have pumped 2 or 3 tubes of caulk under the toilet. The joist had already allowed the floor to sag about an inch. I figure it took about six months of the home just sitting and folks using the toilet. This was a half bath that was used by folks looking at the quality work that this builder did!

I did not say anything about the caulk being compatible with the PVC, never knew it to be a problem with latex caulk.
