toilet

I want to install a sprayer with the toilet. In order to do that I need to shut off the water supply to the toilet. But my shut off valve is not working when I move it clockwise. How can I install it while shut off valve is still supplying water? I thought about using bucket or similar...

Hi I am replacing a toilet where the flange is almost an inch under the tile. Previous owner had 2 regular wax rings stacked with both horns intact. Bolts are covered with some tile debris so I suppose I have to clean the keyholes out to place new bolts. However, I am not sure if it's better...

Hi all, This past Summer we purchased our first house, a split-level from the 1960's. With this purchase we had the sewer line inspected by camera and cleaned a couple months after we moved in. Since we've had the house, the basement toilet splashes when upstairs toilet is flushed. These...

I'm currently in Southern México. Puebla, to be exact. I decided to try and repair a toilet wax ring, knowing it could be more work than just that. I pulled the toilet, and found what you see in the picture. If you notice, the bolts that hold the toilet aren't aligned with the sewer pipe. It...

All the videos make swapping a flapper seem super easy, except that my old flapper won't come off. The holes are too small and not flexible enough to get them over the wings of the flapper holder. It appears the only way to get it off is to cut it. Is that ok to do? If so, what's the best way to...

I had some water on my floor by the toilet. Classic symptom of a failing wax ring, right? Went to my local HD and got me a standard wax ring. Gonna empty the water, disconnect the water feed, spin up the nuts, pull the toilet, scrape and replace the ring, replace the post and bolts reattach...

Hi, I hope someone can help? We’ve moved into a new house and the plumbing has been terrible. Everything leaks! We recently removed the toilet boxing due to all the floor being rotten through due to a leaking sink. Behind the boxing we found damp issues too. Can anyone help me pin point what...

I've got a toilet flange that needs to be replaced, and I started to do it myself by cutting through some of the top plastic but stopped when I felt like I might be over my head. I called a plumber to come take a look, and he's saying that because it's glued on and I cut it the way I did, we now...

I have a Fluidmaster 400 series toilet fixture. It's leaking. You'll see these things in the attached pictures. I got a flapper from the hardware store but it doesn't seem to be long enough. What kind of flapper do I need? Is there something else I have to do?

I woke up to the sound of the toilet water running, in inspecting it it looked like the flush valve was letting water through. After adjusting it the water is still filling up and overflowing, even when I manually lift the flush valve all the way to the top the water keeps pouring. Trying to...

About two months ago a section of my kitchen cabinets started to receive a wet spot at the top or ceiling of the cabinet. I cut a hole in the drywall above the cabinet to see where the water was coming from. At first glance I thought it was condensation from Freon lines that I could see through...

Hi All, I'm hoping someone in this community can help me solve this problem. I have 3 story townhouse (4 floors including the basement) and it has 2 bathrooms (2nd & 3rd floors) and a powder room (basement). When the master bathroom toilet flushes (3rd floor), the whole house has a faint but...

My dad bought a Dolphin Seattle dual-flush toilet, it will continuously run, like something is sticking. Also, when I put the tank cover on, it flushes the toilet. I don't remember that happening with the toilet at my previous house. Is this normal?

I am attempting to replace a wall hung toilet in my parents house in prep for sale. (The 50 year old toilet was installed when the house was built, and is cracked/leaking on the floor of the bathroom when flushed). Replacement is an American Standard 2882.107 Glenwall. The closet carrier...

I recently moved into a new house. Upon inspecting one of the toilets i ended up having to replace its pvc flange as it had completely shattered. The problem is that while chipping away at the old flange i accidentally pierced through the elbow joint just about a quarter of an inch below where...

I live in a split-level house and have lived here for about 6 years. The bathroom in the basement was redone - likely by a DIY'er - before we bought the house. Periodically, over the last three years the waste vent will clog and backup both the shower and the toilet. I believe it's also...

Over the last few months I have noticed 3 of the 4 toilets in the house are not filling the bowl where they used too. I know this because we are on well and septic and have very hard water and can see where the original line was by a small iron ring around the bowl. Two are 2 years old and one...

I want to start by saying I only know the basics about plumbing so I may ask for clarification on some things. As the title states I have a toilet that won't flush. This toilet is in the master bathroom. This started about a week ago and since then I've tried several things to try and determine...

One mounting ear snapped off the overflow tube, now the flapper is all lopsided and needs to manually centered after flushing. Should I snap off the other ear and get a flapper that just mounts over the tube? The tube doesn’t look replaceable. Looks like it’s part of the whole tank...

so my son decided a toy was a good thing to flush down the toilet. I was able to remove the toilet and get it out. I was in the process of replacing the wax ring when a chunk of the wax about the size of a grape tomato fell down the pipe when I pulled the old one off. I tried getting it out but...
