    Toilet That's Difficult to Remove

    I've got a broken toilet that I'm looking to replace. The screws are really rusted and I can't get them out. Should I just snap them off? What else is involved in replacing a toilet? ---- Also, the only thing that works plumbing wise is my tub...and actually it doesn't really work that well...

    Snaking with back to back toilets, be careful people!

    Snaking with back to back toilets, be careful people! Sometimes the fitting between the two bowls allows the snake to skip across the fitting, and come up the other side. Here is an example of that. This can also happen with back to back sinks or lavs, though not as serious as something...

    Minimum distance between two 90s

    Is there a minimum distance between two 90s on a toilet line? The current toilet is setup 12" from either wall, which I don't think was right even in 1950 when it was built. 4" cast iron dropping 12" into a 90 right into the main stack. No vent due to being so close to the main stack...

    Toilet clogs 3-4x/wk - toilet issue or further down?

    Toto CST484CEMFG Maris- can't get more than 2" of water in the bowl

    We just moved into a house with a Toto toilet in the ensuite. On moving in the bowl was FILTHY - once we cleaned it up we realized that it's because the bowl only holds a small amount of water in the very bottom where it drains. To clarify, 3-4 sheets of toilet paper is enough to absorb it...

    I need to replace the toilet in our powder room. It's our only toilet on the main floor so it gets used frequently. I did a lot of comparison research and narrowed it down to 2.

    Tangshan Huida, Help Me Identify this Fill Valve

    Fill valves are never an issue for me, they are about as easy to replace as anything in a toilet. Even a newbie like me can do it. Fast forward to today when I came across this specific fill valve. I can not identify it, and I cannot replace it. What is it? It says Tangshan Huida Anti Siphon on it

    Fixing improper venting, old house

    Hello, This is an update/new question from my last post. My home has old all copper DWV from 1960 and earlier, with even older cast iron at basement level-down, that I'm replacing with PVC. Plumbing noise isn't an issue; I really don't want to do expensive cast. The current copper has pinholing...

    Toilet Base Leaks When clogged

    So, I'm helping a friend with a toilet that was leaking around the base. The valve would stick open and there would be significant flooding from the base. The plumbing system is 30 years old, toilet is fairly 'new'. Before I started, I flushed - no leaking. I dumped a pail of water down to...

    Hi forum, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I hired a professional plumber to install a toilet flange for me but he installed it 3/8 inches above the finished tile floor and claims it is perfectly acceptable. Further, the flange is only held in to the substrate by 1 screw and the flange rests solely...
