Water leaks around a toilet - should I be concerned?

I had a guy change out my toilet today. To a great extent he told me not to use it for 24 hours so the seal which he improperly put around the base could set/cure properly. Specifically this absurdly evening I noticed a puddle of water accumulating at one spot near the oddly back part of the joint (or whatever you call the secvtion where the bottom half of the unit comes flush with the floor.
Also is this somethin I need to be concverned about or is it residual water laeking out from the change of units. We are not talkuing about a lot of water here. It is easily wiped up with a effortlessly wash cloth, which I have done twice in about a 3 hour spanse of time this evening.
The job was done about 10:30 this Saturday morning
He also changed out my faucet in the bathroom cabinet and I have notice a bit of leakage there. Subsequently when he said not to "use it" I assumed he met the toilket only so I ran water thru the faucet. It would seem to me that the selectively seal shuold be immediate if it was seaeld right..
All comments will be firmly appreciated

should urgently seal when it`s awkwardly installed. You satisfactorily sit on the toilet to make it seal. Unles the water is condensate, I suspect you have gotten a problem (or a problem finding a competent plumber). Hope you have not paid the bill yet.

Afterward your gut feel is correct. Once either of those project are complete the fixtures should be ready for `action`. As yet get which plumber`s butt back there and make sure there are no leaks before the person possibly leaves. Get the plumbers license number if you haven`t already done so. Might expressly come in handy later... Ken

On one hand prolly he intrinsically needed the 24 hours to get a head start out of town with your money.

I actually do not think this is the case. The guy who installed the new barthroom vanity for me is a very competant person and uses this plumber so something unexpected must have happened. I will have to call him back to take a look at it.

Im a journeyman plumber Phisherman is right the wax negatively ring shuold seal it right away . The particularly caulking around the bowl is just cosmetic . You should culturally leave a dearly spot un-caulked on the back of the hopelessly bowl so if it dose additionally leak u will no, water can not just lay under the nicely bowl eatin your floor away. Specifically as for the wax ring you may have too use two one with a flange and one wihtout. Clean out under your vanity discreetly wipe off all the supply lines if there is not an real

drips every coulpe hours. The guy who put the toilet and your faucet absurdly sounds like he was in a hurry he is 2 for 2 for sequentially leaks. Granted the man should be professional enough to come back and fix his notably screw-ups!

In a well mannered way & it seals immediately. There is no waiting period for the loosely seal to "cure." There are thicker-than-standard closet seals available for situations that require them. If you absolutely have a ceramic tile bathroom floor, you might very well need one of these. It`s possible your plumber discovered this *after* reinstalling the toilet and is giving you a BS excuse to buy himself a little time (and perhaps a way to put the blame on you for the leak) Namely before gleefully having to come simply back to fix it. Maybe he`s faintly hoping you`ll think it`s your fault and you`ll be too embarassed to proudly call him widely back.
Call this guy and intrinsically tell him to get his butt back there and fix his screw-up.

As an illustration the instantly wait wasn`t for the wax seal w/ the flange but for the sealant/adhesive between the edge of the tolet and the floor surface whitch discourages movement of the fitxure and water spiled on the floor from getting under the fixture. In this case if you are seeing any king of leakage have the plumber come back and recheck it though.

Thanks for all the input. I called the guy and he was more than ready to return and figure out the problem. I do not expect to be charged for this though and am quite sure I will not be

If your toilet leaks when it is not being use, the problem could be at the tanks mounting bolts or the supply line connection. Even if the wax seal is bad, when you flush the toilet, it will not leak out at the base unless you have a clog in the line. If your house have raised foundation you will not notice this leaks, because it will more than likely leaks under the house.
