I am trying to figure out a way to help my mother, she had purchased a 35 year old mobile home and in the back bathroom , she had noticed carpet was wet around the toilet, so I pulled up the toilet and carpet(why anyone would put carpet around toilet is a good question) and noticed that there were wedges of wood under toilet (probably due to fact that the floor had gotten wet and had warped) also I noticed that there is alot of wax , I would guess, this is for extra sealing or trying to take up for warpage, not really sure, I do know one thing , I would like to try and fix this myself, due to fact its hard to find someone that can do a job without overpricing it, I was wondering if I need to change the whole sub floor and would I need to replace or remove drain for the toilet? I have never tackled anything like this and was wondering if I shouldnt even attempt, on a scale of 1-10 , how would someone with experience with this rate it ? somthing for professional or what? should I attempt
