@ZeroToPatrick 4 года назад

My toilet was leaking, so I called three plumbers asking how much it would cost for them to fix it. Assuming it was the wax ring that needed replacing, the lowest price I was quoted was $175. Then I searched for and found this video instead. And so with about fifteen dollars worth of supplies from Home Depot and forty five minutes of effort following your instructions one step at a time, I now have a working toilet and a dry floor. THANK YOU VERY MUCH and enjoy your cup of coffee!

Lisa Faithful some times it can help to take off the tank of the toilet to help with weight and the awkwardness of the toilet when lifting it off and sitting it back on also check under toilet make sure thst no big pieces of wax are stuck on it. Good luck

Another tip for aligning the toilet with the flange bolts is to cut some plastic straws about 6" long and place them over the bolts. As you lower the toilet bowl onto the straws, they will slide right in place and onto the bolts. Great job as always, Leah! 👍

@75Barmalei 6 лет назад

A small tip from my experience: Sometimes you unable to see a small leakage from water supply line, because it leaks about 1 drop in a minute. To test this kind of leakage you can use a regular toilet paper sheets. Just put it on a possible problem area (put on the floor below connection or wrap around the tube) for a couple of hours. It shows you whether leaks or not even if waterdrops will dry.

I’m not a plumber and I try to be a do-it-yourselfer whenever possible, but it’s frustrating to hear people complain about being ripped off by prices that professionals charge for simple repairs. We all know that time is money. You’re paying for their time as well as saving your time, so theirs a price for that. Do you really think someone is going to go into business, come over to your house not knowing exactly what all is involved, scheduling their day accordingly, and replace a wax ring on your toilet charging you only $40 or so? I think it’s great that this information is out there for those of us who wish to do it ourselves to save some money but don’t beat up the businessman who’s trying to make a living. I know people who would gladly pay the price to have someone else do it , just so they don’t have to mess with it or to free up their own time. Thanks for the video, very informative & appreciated.

I have a few questions I installed two new toilets and used the rubber wax less rings. Both my flanges are recessed into the tile just below the tile. So I used the blue ring which was included in the perfect seal box. So my first one I just saw is leaky 7 days after install and my other one is not leaking on floor but I put red food coloring g inside tank and when I came ba k to look at it the water inside bowl was red which is telling me it’s leaking somewhere but I can not see any water anywhere. My main question I guess would be should I just rude the double way ring which h might Insure a better seal?

Informative and calming instruction. Might add that before lifting the toilet, remove the tank's lid. Anything to make it lighter is helpful! And it might also avoid it flipping off and breaking when lifting and moving the toilet. Enjoy your thoroughness and subscribers that respect your good work.

@youknowwhatdaysayinhoe5646 4 года назад

Just installed my first wax ring today! One thing you could have mentioned. When I lifted the toilet, I forgot to cut the caulking! As a result, the fake tile flooring lifted up! Also, you may have to use shims if the toilet is uneven and rocking. I did that today and the results were beautiful 👍

@dhidalgo5743 2 года назад

Great instruction! I discovered a leak by noticing a wet spot on my basement ceiling and sure enough it was coming from the base of the toilet. I never replaced a wax ring before but your instruction showed me that the process wasn't so bad. The liquid solidifier was an awesome tip than I would have never known about if I didn't see it on your video. The good news is that replacing the wax ring was the problem and now everything is working great! Please keep posting great DIY content! You are a natural instructor and you're doing a great service for the DIY community and those that can't afford to call a professional. THANK YOU!

@mikeb6418 6 лет назад

Hi Leah Love your channel Wish you would have shown us the actual install of the toilet and how tight do you screw down the nuts ( looks like you only tightened them with your hands). For beginner DIYers the install of the toilet it’s self gives the most of us anxiety. I’ve leaned a lot from watching you and felt I can share my 2cents. Thanks

@TheNimshew 5 лет назад

I'm going to add some advice. If the flange is 3/8" above the finished floor(where it should be) use a regular bowl wax. The bowl wax is not designed to be a "waterproof" seal. It's designed to prevent odor and airborne moisture. There's a horn integral with the toilet. That horn will sit down inside the flange. If you use a bowl wax with the added plastic horn, the water will splash against that plastic horn. Sometimes, the flange is only 3" and using the extra plastic horn type bowl wax will distort the plastic and cause leaks.That's bad. Why the extra horn? If the flange is flush with the finished floor, the integral horn will be just above the flange, not down inside the flange. That's bad. So, they've made this double wax or an added horn to the wax to somehow mitigate that problem. Homeowners will often have a new floor added on top of an existing floor without raising the flange. That has caused more destroyed bathroom floors than anything else. A properly installed flange sits 3/8" above the floor. A master plumber with 44 years in the trade.. Believe what I'm telling y'all

@a.j.casper8873 2 года назад

I 1000% beleave you and Thank You, every dam vid says it should sit flush , mine is 3/8 above and here I’m thinking it’s F’d up. Good looking out 🙏

@richardstaccone1927 Год назад

You are 100% correct. The wax rings with the built in horn were originally designed for the old "lead bends" that were flat on the floor with no closet shoe!!!

@candeffect 5 лет назад

Don't use the 'funnel' type wax ring. Those fail far more frequently than the pain wax rings. Failure is mostly caused by a toilet that can move for some reason and by pouring hot water in the bowl and not flushing right away - causes the wax to melt. Make sure the wax is soft (with warm water) in cold weather before installing it. If it is too cold it can form a crack when placing the toilet on top of it. Dishonest plumbers install the funnel type wax rings for future business.

@Georgia-Vic 3 года назад

@utuber4841 3 года назад

It helps to put a bead of DAP toilet bath caulking between the base of toilet bowl and the floor. The DAP bathroom caulking is water soluble until dries making it easy to wipe excess caulking off with a damp sponge. If it's ceramic tile sometimes especially on mansions grout is used instead of the DAP silicone bathroom caulking.

@gatorr4life 2 года назад

Thank you so much for dropping some knowledge on us! Love your videos . I installed a brand new toilet, but a couple months later dark blotches formed on the right side/front of the toilet. For some more context, I laid down sheet vinyl flooring. It’s on a slab of mostly leveled concrete. I caulked all around the toilet so not sure how it could be that, but that’s what I’m thinking it is. I used the wax ring that came with the toilet. It felt small and EXTREMELY SOFT. Like abnormally mushy. What’s the texture supposed feel like, good amount of resistance, right? Also, I learned there’s two sizes of wax ring? My flange had a break in it from the previous owner, so I had to buy an adapter/extension. Maybe I need a bigger ring? Going to cut out a portion of the affected flooring and lay some newspapers down to see where the possible origin is. Thx again for your contributions to society. Your influence touches so many. My neighbor and I were talking abt my problem, and she said I should check you channel on RU-vid. I said I knew abt her a while ago! 😎 thanks again!

@eliascastro9374 3 года назад

@kenkw5515 4 года назад

At 75 years of age, after toilet bolt/Nuts supply line, have been removed, i just straddle the toilet and grasp the sides back by the tank, lift up toilet and waddle backwards until the toilet is out of the way. When the new wax ring is in place, i then place toilet back by eyeing the bolts and gently lower the toilet onto the wax ring. Once it is down, i rock the toilet gently to the sides pushing downward ensuring the toilet seats entirely onto the wax ring. Put the nuts onto the bolts, tighten and its done!

Thanks for the video. Be safe. Tim

To be perfectly honest, I had done one of these before, with the help of a more confident friend. That was years ago. Now, the same toilet has, what looks like the same problem.

Leah this is a great video and you are great in explaining things. I had 48 years in the plumbing field before i retired.

Thank you, Leah! This video explained and showed me exactly what the wax ring does so that I understand it. When we moved into our house, the toilet was wobbly and it turned out that it had a cracked flange. You explain repairs so that any homeowner can get them done. Thank you!

@JaredHempfield 5 лет назад

Interesting, I replace wax rings all the time and usually set the toilet into a contractor bag over a towel after I've tilted enough water out unbolted. This would make for a funny prank, great video! And PLEASE do not just silicone the base and walk away. The old "maintenance tech" at my work would do that proudly and I had to come back and replace the flooring and clear mold and sewage from the crawl space. It's super cheap and easy to replace a wax ring, not easy replacing the rotted subfloor.

In using it he broke the wax ring. Following the steps in your video, you are right. Anybody can fix a leaky toilet. But I'd rather call a plumber. LOL.

You are a great teacher. I had a plumber replace the wax ring, $125, but he set the toilet on old dry caulking that he didn’t even remove, and left a wobbly toilet, didn’t caulk around it, and the flange bolts are wobbly. Time for me to fix it and do it myself from now on.

I got lucky with the toilet wax ring. I gave each nut a half turn, which compresses the wax ring about 1/64 " and Voila, No more leaks. P.S: this won't always work but worth a try.

Good information Leah, Thank you. One thing I am curious about is your logo. What is the significance of the yellow ball and blue dot?

It's an eye with lashes looking at see Jane drill?

Just got the gel from home depot for a wax ring change! What a great idea.

Can you please show us how to fix the leak if it’s coming from where the supply line goes into the tank? Love your teaching style. Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge:)

You’re amazing! You’ve helped me tremendously with manageable repairs and home projects especially during this pandemic. Thank you so much, Leah!

Thank you Leah for a well presented demonstration of a problem that scares the hake out of people who think that they never could fix or replace a wax ring. Outstanding in your attention to detail, easy to understand and your "can do" attitude towards us; the non plumbers.

Thank you for this video. My brother got very sick so I am living with him for a little while to help out. I was in the basement doing laundry and he flushed the toilet above and water started pouring down on the floor in the basement. It's been years since I changed a wax ring and flange out and you're video helped me refresh my mind lol Thanks again!!!
