How to Fix a Wobbly Toilet - permanently without shims 

Great job. You were thorough and showed with a little creativity all is possible.

So much nicer now that you have a cameraman! :)

Use .093, x2 sheets, of polycarbonate and glue them together. Then follow all the same steps. It’s clear, shatter/water proof, won’t rot and looks nicer without the need to paint or caulk. 👍🏻

Nice work!

great job and idea. I will try this with a water resistance water proof platform not wood.

INGENIOUS!!! THIS WORKS GREAT!! THANK YOU !! I am a housing provider (not a landlord - don't call me landlord) and own several rental properties. This has been an ongoing problem - wobbly toilets (toilet flange too high). Not anymore, thanks to this video. This actually works great. And like you, I also recommend the rubber ring vs. wax ring. It may be about $5 more than wax ring - but well worth it, can pull off and on and reuse and not disgusting greasy wax mess. This idea was awesome - very easy to do if you work with toilet problems on a monthly basis like me.

Good Job!

Great job

nice job. may wanna plug that drain hole once it's exposed, especially when removing screws from around it with a power drill, lucky none ended up down there

After the "Oh yummy!" @ 8:30 I subscribed! You're the ElectroBoom of plumbing but you have a stronger stomach than me! Wakodahatchee Chris

Reminds me of a news article I saw-- " Plumber arrested for 40 pounds of crack in pants"... :)

Good job

Your a genius sir , thx ❤ I used a cement board , worked but , cement board was hard to cut , any other board mediums , suggestions would be appreciated.. Brilliant idea tho , shims , sometimes don’t work or looks bad

How does it work if the floor is not level?

My toilet rocks bad. But after watching this video, I’m not calling a plumber now. I feel as though I could possibly do that. Thanks Dennis, my names also Dennis. But everyone calls me DJ.

Would moister in time cause the wood to rot? But it's a good idea. Maybe a plastic template?

Did the wood rot?

Problem with little shims is they easily get knocked away unless you able to screw them into like a wood subfloor, but most floors are concrete and not easy to screw in those small shims which do not work very well anyway. This appears like a better idea especially for concrete floor where screwing in the shim is not possible.

Since your using plywood , maybe , coat it with, flex seal or something water proof

The real horror here is this bath is out of TP 😅

Really helpful solution. What is is thickness of the plywood you used?

you did use a shim. A giant one. lol

I couldn't help but to laugh out loud when the crack of his ass shined for the camera.

I wanted to see how well the caulk job was going to look. He didn't show, probably not good.

plummers crack really

You are good 55

I would have Totally stripped those screws

Oh man come to my house dude

Oh it’s a pain for everyone not just me Blessings to all the dads doin it for no pay 😂

You basically used a big ass shim

56

Disney gonna sue yo ass!

What happened to your chickens and ducks?

But that is a shim

Are you trolling the world?

When you put that dirty vacuum hose that you use to suck up water from the toilet up to your mouth I threw up just a little bit. Thanks for the video though.

Cheaper and long lasting solution is making the cutout with cheap vinyl tile sheets. Cheaper than plywood and won't rot out. And don't caulk base of toilet. That's just looks hideous.

you should really wear gloves. I know who somebody who caught a nasty nasty bug and it took months for him to get better

You're lucky- it's in WOOD... no big issue!!!

Boomers.

Wrong! from beginning to end wrong, wrong, wrong!

So if you don’t another job like that you just put that all over your face and your mouth how disgusting

This dude did alot wrong. For one where are the china caps, also use a plunger and gets plenty of the water out. He takes 30 min to pull a toilet and dont install correctly

Why the eff would anyone put that shopvac hose on their mouth? I was half expecting you to run the toilet brush through your hair. I'm not impressed with your childish and foul attempts at getting a laugh.
