    Toilet Seal Leak

    Had a plumber install a new wax seal on a toilet. The seal did not seal. Had a small leak, just enough to get some tile grout lines wet. Want to dry the grout lines before reinstalling the toilet correctly. Toilet flange is below the floor and should have had a spacer installed to raise the flange.

    Question is how to dry the grout lines before reinstalling the toilet. I want them dry so I can tell if it leaks after installing the proper spacer to raise the flange and a new wax ring. I am thinking to take out the wet grout and dry the cement board thru the grout line with a heat gun then re grout.

    Thoughts / suggestions.
