When my septic line gets plugged, the wax seal doesn't stop the water from coming out at base. Will this product seal against backups?

I've never had that problem but it should. It has 4 ribs/rings that fit very tightly into the pipe. It takes quite a bit of effort to remove the the toilet once it is installed. It never separated from the toilet either. Just be sure to thoroughly clean the bottom of the toilet with a liquid (water or a non-residue cleaner) to ensure there is no dust remaining that would compromise the adhesion of the seal.

Haaahaaaahaaa - yes, that happened to me as well (for all my friends to see and enjoy). It has a pretty tight seal, which is great. I think the pressure comes from an increase in temperature (as the air is expanding) -or- could be from the septic breaking down and bacteria growing (probably not, because we only use ours for urine). In any event, I think the answer is to open sloooooowly. Happy Trails.

I used it to seal a crack inside of toilet tank about 1 year ago. It been fine all this time. The portion I sealed in under water all the time and has not leaked.

I agree with the other responses in that it will not create a seal. However it works great to prevent boil-over.

No. Not sure where you mean the drip is coming from but if the drip is coming from inside the toilet, this will cause the toilet to back up, puddle and come somewhere else. If it is coming on the floor, it is probably flush water and you should replace the wax seal. All this from my husband.

I doubt it. I think it would probably seal it ok initially but I question whether it is structural enough to maintain that seal with the handling of the hose with use. It is a great product but I don't think its that great.

Use this in addition to the seal already on the bottom. I'm a contractor and have used it successfully multiple times- works great!

I used it for a external water repellant. Works Great, don't know if it would seal the brick as you for your application.

I don't know, as I had installed at a country home with a septic and that was not an option. However, my son who is my contractor and installer, he should be able to tell me so I will ask and get back to you.

I took mine apart and put Vaseline around the water inlet fitting, which has done the trick for over six months now. I disconnected the fittings, coated the water line and fitting with Vaseline and reassembled. I asked my local hardware store person about the leaking and he suggested this. It works!

There is no water proofing out there, that I know of. But, yes, this will help "repel" water to some degree. And it is just as good as any of the more expensive waxes out there for distressing-that's what I got it to do. I just don't like the fact that it's a solvent, comes with warnings and hazards-and has a strong solvent odor, as well. But they all do. And it dissipates, over time.

no. the product works in the septic tank not the toilet. any toilet will get it to the tank

I have a septic system and green pig works great on it. I was having some overflow on my lines and it cleared that up. I also use a septic safe(northern) toilet paper. I had been using Rid-X, but now I am a green pig believer.J. KingJ. King

On a vinyl liner I would have to guess no, on a cement liner....for the cost of the product I'd say get it a shot. I was able to seal a leak on PVC pipe joint that was wet and under some pressure. Again, for the cost ...I'd try it on anything to take a chance...good luck.

I don't know. I would get more info first. I used it and it worked. I think it softens and swells seals to stop the leak. If that is the case and your seals are just dried out it should work. Good Luck. Kent

Iam on a septic system and have not noticed any problems. My system was pumped out just a few months ago and the company said everything looked fine. I only use these 1 or 2 at a time in my automatic toilet cleaning system and they last for months so I'm not dumping a lot into the septic tank anyway. The container does not specifically mention septic systems as far as I can tell.

While this is great at stopping leaks, I don't believe it will work in your application. The water would just find another location.
