Thanks for the heat gun idea. I also like that cutting tool. What is it called? A Dremel Tool would also work wouldn't it? I would highly recommend *against* caulking around the base of the toilet. If that wax seal leaks, you won't see it leaking.
thanks for this video it was really helpful, previous owner of my house glued everything even P-traps under sinks and it is a nightmare to work on. Didn't know to use a heat gun I will try that next time.
Hey Steve, I've watched many a video on taking out a broken flange, my question is does it HAVE to be glued in place?? OR can the flange be simply screwed in place?? It would seem that it would be a snap to replace it in the future if need be. Thanks
Only if it’s a slip joint ( slip joint is a glue joint) it should be glued and screwed, if it’s not glued and there is a backup , it will leak sub floor or sub grade , yuck 🤢. They make an insertable toilet flange that has a rubber gasket that goes inside the drain pipe. That can only be screwed for future service or replacement if needed
Why dont you have a rag or something else in the hole to avoid debris from falling in? It kind of makes me not trust your judgement/expertise on the rest of the video.
Isn’t the flange suppose to be on top of the tile
Liked that heat gun demo. Thank you. 👍
