Alright I feel like I am talking to myself here. The plumber came and went. It did not go well. This is a plumbing company who worked on it the last time. Not my friend. Well, he said, the leaking is coming from the big pipe that connects onto your flange, which connects into the stack.
Well, I asked, ' how much?" Not cheap.
Walls got to come out, floor got to come up, new flange, the second one thus far, toilet up. Toilet down.
So, I had it. I told him to take up the toilet throw it out the bloody window, I don't care.
Instead he took it up, put some wax down in the big pipe, he said, incase their was a small hole or crack it might seal it. Is this correct?
He put the toilet back down. Being I paid 600 for this service earlier, it was warranted for 90 days. Double waxed ringed it.
The closet is standing open now. Coats everywhere.
I now agreed to work on an article about my woes with this bathroom. Infact, I think I will take a delight in it.
I paid for 2 floors, floor still not exactly right, 2 flanges, 8 times the toilet was sat down & picked up, and paid for 2 access panels. Only got one of course.
What are the chances that this cast iron pipe could be leaking?
Plus, I spoke with someone who said that cast iron flanges should not be secured down. Who agrees with this, and why or why not? Mine is secured to a 1/4 Luan board.
