toilet flange repair ,tips @ tricks

I e been doing drain cleaning for about 6 years now..I’m not a plumber, but successful at the drain cleaning business and this channel has been a godsend to me, thank you... videos like this have helped me tremendously because I often run into issues like this... I have to take a toilet off to send a cable and blade down an inside main, and at times the toilet has been on for 30 years or maybe less and crappy materials were used, You never know

I'm not a plumber so I appreciate all the insider information. An 'Honest' Tradesman is worth his weight in GOLD.

Steven Im currently in school for plumbing and I must admit ... I would have gladly paid you to be my teacher. This is a thousand dollars worth of information your giving away. Some people look to superman or Batman as there hero but I see you and I see my hero!

watching almost 4years later and exactly what I needed! The flange is broken and instead of replacing it all I really needed was the Gapper/Spanner flange to fix the situation. A plumber would have charged me more for the time he'd take to cut out the cemented/glued flange and put in a replacement! Thanks Steve

These are the heroes us DIY’ers need! Watched your video 4-5 times, after watching a few others, and yours covered it all. Saved my a$$ in more ways than just money. (Went with the pvc with the rubber gasket and inserted inside my existing flange). Lots of great tips that came in handy (spacer, brass, etc). Thank you!! 👏👏👏

Just found this channel. Renovating our first home. Got screwed by a bunch of contractors. Took our money and did horrible work. Now we finally getting back on track but this channel has been helling me make sure things are getting done properly. Thank you. I may have a few questions about plumbing and oil burning boiler as well. The baseboards. Keep the great content coming

Watched this video before installing my toilet a couple of years ago and it definitely saved me from a lot of grief. Just came across it again recently and had to say thanks very much for posting it.

Wow! Steve. VERY nice job! And videotaping with ONE hand even! Thanks for sharing your 30+ years of experience to all us newbees. You have made our lives so much easier. Very much appreciated! You rock!

I am in maintenance , and this video is pure gold . All situations are different , but this video covers most of them. Great video.

You are the GO to man for plumbing and heating DIY repairs, no one explains the procedure and back stories even close to yours enjoyed your videos for years

I can’t thank you enough for this video you just saved my ass with the “closet screws”! Your accent is also amazing! I can’t thank you enough I literally just changed the toilet in my house while my husband was away and I’m so proud of myself- couldn’t have done it without this video!

What a great tip about the wax funnel, that's exactly what mine is doing I replaced the wax seal about 6 months ago and I bought the one with the funnel because it looked like a better one. It's things you learn on your own out in the field that makes a great service/ repair man. Thanks

You, sir, are a treasure. Thank you. Wonderful and perfectly narrated video. I am a cabinet maker who hates getting wet, so I don’t do much plumbing. But I can hear from the way you talk that you are a craftsman. I actually feel up to trying a toilet refit now 😊😊. By the way, I’ve always called those “hanger bolts”. The lags with the machine thread on one end. Thanks again!

The only plumbing videos I watched for over 5 yrs. I've learned so much from you..thank you

You showed more tips that make sense, then I got from all the other videos. Thanks!

This video is excellent. I work at a hardware store and was recently moved from the lumber department to the plumbing/electrical department, and that company didn't teach me shit before the transfer! Your videos are a huge help. Thank you for putting them up. :)

Some things you can't learn in school,thanks for answering a long time question about the deep wax seals with the horn , I must say I watch your videos every single day and I have learned more tricks from you then I have learned from other plumbers in the 20 years I've been doing this, thanks Steve keep them coming!

Thank you for this video. It was just the insight I needed to do the flange repair myself. Boy am I proud of myself. The results were just right. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Everything I needed to know to do my broken flange fix and a lot of other good to know tips too. Great video! Thanks buddy.
