    Move toilet and add elbows

    Looking to move a 3" waste drain over to the 21-22" mark shown in the first image so it's not so close to the wall. 2nd floor, no waste above this level. Plan to elbow through the 2x10, and then back up to the toilet. A street elbow and a two hub elbow puts the flange about where I'd want it...

    Toilet - Replacement recommendation

    Situation: The current toilet is a Kohler with a canister flush valve. It is only around 7 years old; however, the customer is complaining that it is a poor flusher. My term, not theirs, but you get the idea. I have been there a couple of times, have tried to make minor adjustment as possible...

    Subfloor/crack in tile around toilet flange

    Hi everyone, Replacing the upstairs toilet. The tile around the flange has a long thin crack in it. There is space around the flange as well as if tile wasn't quite cut to size to fit the (cast iron?) sewer drain. The screws for the flange hug pretty close to the perimeter of the hole in the...

    Toddler flushed drain stopper

    Hello, As title suggests, my 3 year old flushed a standard bathroom sink drain stopper down the toilet. After he flushed it, I flushed again and heard a rattle in the pipes but no sounds with every subsequent flush. Is it likely it went clean through without getting lodged in the pipes? No...

    Leak under toilet into crawl (Video)

    Hello, Hope you are all doing well. I have a leak under the toilet when you flush it and goes into the crawl. While I'm waiting to hear back from a plumber, I was hoping to get some opinions from y'all. Maybe it needs a new wax ring or flange replaced? The right bolt is a bit loose, so I'm...

    Black growth in toilet bowl after a few weeks away

    I left home for a few weeks. Right before leaving, I disinfected all three toilets. On return, there was an awful smell and I found a disgusting thick black film on the upstairs toilet. Initially, based on the snell, I thought an animal had died in the house. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the...

    Trying to connect bidet to sink's hot water valve that is too big for 3/8 and too small for 1/2.

    Hi there, Recently bought a bidet that comes with a hot water connection, but neither the 3/8 or 1/2 T-Adapter for the bidet is compatible with the sink's hot water valve. I thought the valve was 7/16, but I bought a 7/16 Female x 1/2 MIP Reducing Adapter and it doesn't fit, either. I've been...

    Don't want wall hung toilet

    I have a small house, 1 bath, 1 story, built on slab. A previous owner changed from a floor mounted toilet to a wall hung toilet some time in the 80s. Amazingly this 80s Geberit toilet is still running fine. I'd like to get back to a toilet that is supported by the floor rather than the...

    Toto Dalton Toilet Repairs

    Hello - I have a Toto Dalton toilet I've been asked to repair by a relative. The gasket at the bottom of the flush valve is leaking, and I’ve concluded this because the flapper was just replaced and the problem has persisted, so therefore it must be the flush valve itself. However, before I...

    Replacement Toilet Flange in Concrete | 6" Extended Barrel Flange (?)

    Hello - I'm replacing an old toilet in my basement. The original toilet hadn't been used in years, and the flange was nothing more than rust and wax, so I ripped all that out to find that a standard replacement flange does not reach my drain inlet, as the drain inlet sits BELOW 3.5" of...

    Hello - my husband and I have just moved into our new home that has wall mounted Vitra toilets. We have had a few plumbers out, and no one is familiar with them/knows how to trouble shoot. Basically, every time we flush it howls/whistles for about 45 seconds. I've tried reaching out to the...

    Difficult Flange Problem - Please Advise

    Hello, I have a house that was built in 1962, and we're re-finishing the basement. The current cast iron toilet flange (shown in picture), is 4-3/4" at the opening, and then 3" down it reduces to 3-3/4". I purchased an Oatey Twist-N-Set replacement flange, but it doesn't quite reach down to the...

    DIYer - Best way to replace leaky valve on end of polybutylene line?

    PHOTO The valve on the end of a polybutylene line is leaking and the valve won't come off (I tried dousing the entire thing in WD40, won't budge). I did some research and it seems I can use a "Shark Bite" on the end of the line but it also seems that many plumbers are against using "Shark...
