Hi there, Thank you in advance! After paying a professional for the last couple years I figured I would winterize the system myself. Have a question as I think I am missing something key. I have turned off the water supply circled in red. I am leaving on the valve that goes to the irrigation...

I appreciate all the help! How does one measure the level of a toilet? Is it as straightforward as using a level and placing it on the bowl (without the seat on) and getting the bubble in the middle both front to back and left to right?

After looking into unifit, my Toto did not have that. I don’t think it was meant to

Sadly the broken toilet was a Toto and seldom had to use a plunger on it. I tightened the nuts so they were tight but never cranked them excessively. I need to look into Toto unifit because when I placed and secured it I did not recaulk the bottom. My intent was to leave it open to check for...

Thank you for the detailed approach! With putting the shims down ahead of the toilet, how do I account for how deep the shims are inserted?

Before adding the shims I did not have a wobble. I only added them as I worried the front was not supported and would lead to another problem

Thank you, Jeff. Is the recommendation to not use shims for the front? It just seems like such a big gap. Perhaps use silicone to balance the weight?

Thank you for the responses! The flange is not cast iron. When I removed the toilet there were no shims and only added them as the floor looked uneven. From what I saw this morning, it looked like a clean break. No discoloration

Thank you, Sylvan I don’t disagree with toilet replacement. I need to understand why this happened and how to prevent it. I don’t want another broken toilet

For the wax ring, I did use an extra thick one with the black plastic piece on the bottom. The flange sits below the floor line

Thank you in advance While cleaning the toilet, we noticed a small amount of water coming from the bottom front of the toilet when flushed. The front bottom of the toilet was heavily caulked with silicone. I removed the toilet and replaced the wax ring. I pushed down using body weight. I put...

I think this might be it https://images.app.goo.gl/1GgtgxEm2r4xpPyf7 The shower insert is lasco. Sadly it does not look like this is manufactured currently 2.25 x 4.25 x 4.25 inches

Went to two plumbing supply stores and they could not help

2.5” outside diameter

Here are the photos

Thank you in advance I have a preformed shower drain where they is a drain adapter glued to the pipe and the flange screws in. I bought a replacement oatey drain and after taking out my existing flange the oatey flange would not screw in. The flange I took out is 9.5” circumference 2.5 inch...

Thank you Jeff for your response! I can’t tell if it’s siliconed or putty. If it is putty, is there a better chance of removing the flange from the top? I am also trying to determine the root cause of the leak. I don’t believe it is where the flange meets the pan. In the pic of the pipe and...

Thank you again! I really appreciate all those that take the time to support us DIYers. Still contemplating if I want to tackle this one myself. If it was totally leaking 100% of the time I have nothing to lose but since it’s so hit or miss, fixing it might introduce a larger problem :)

Thank you all for your help yesterday. I am trying to be as efficient with $ and time as possible when addressing this issue. I opened up more of the ceiling yesterday and despite leaving the shower on as well as having another person in the shower with the water on, I can’t seem to see the...

Thank you, Terry Replacing the drain, since it is glued, involves cutting the abs pipe to remove the drain? Thank you, Jordan
