toilet

My toilet handle sticks and seems to be hindered by the lid. This is a new thing and has worked well for years. I’m sure it’s an easy fix other than getting a skinnier handle which is what my Super suggested.

My old second-floor toilet releases a big burp of air at the beginning of every flush. Flush is not too strong either. Faucet and tub seem to drain fine in same bathroom. What should I be looking at first? Blocked vent? Partially blocked drain?

Hi, so I live in San Diego and started having some slow draining issues when we got a lot of rain this spring. Since everything was so wet, I figured my landlord prob couldn't do much about it anyways... even if tank was full. My shower was slow to drain and if I ran too much water into my...

I'm trying to get a wall hung toilet installed in my condo but failed permit review because as I understand it, the wet vented drain for the WC has to be at the same elevation or lower than other wet vented plumbing group fixtures such as the shower. Review Comment: "Bathroom, relocated toilet...

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...

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...

Greetings, I am planning a full DIY remodel of our main bathroom. As far as plumbing goes, the plan is to replace shower/tub combo, replace large double vanity with a smaller single, and move the toilet a few feet to be next to vanity. My main question is about the toilet move, as the whole...

Hello, I have a question about the toilet setup, and another question about the flooring around it. The toilet had leaked water around it, so we took up the toilet and scraped off the wax on the bottom. First Question: First problem: not level. When we took up, the toilet, we noticed there...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I wanted to change out a toilet in my house, but when I measured the rough in, it’s ~ 11.5”. Any advice on what type of toilet to purchase? I’m a novice so don’t want to screw this up!

howdy, Looking for some help with a question regarding toilet flanges and wax rings. I have a stainless steel toilet flange ring flush with my floor with an inset pvc glue in portion. The only issue is the pvc inset is not flush with the steel toilet flange. It is 3/4 inch above the finished...
