Are you sure the seal is leaking, and you don't just have water from cleaning the floor? If so, you will go to a lot of trouble for nothing.

If hires plumber he should chalk it. But, who knows here in Florida?
In most parts of the United States, it is a requirement of building code to caulk around toilet bases. This could apply to both new builds and remodeling, though as regulations vary from one state to another it's a good idea to check local statutes.Jul 23
