Ontario family quoted $15,000 for toilet repair that cost $50 to fix

The flange should sit on top of the finished floor, if it doesn't you'll have to modify the plumbing or find another way to achieve this.This problem causes the toilet to leak.

Notice in this image how the toilet waste pipe sits just inside the flange opening, this is the proper way for a toilet to sit on a flange. Even without a wax ring, this union is not likely to leak under normal circumstances.

Wax as a waste pipe?

Some folks recommend using a thicker wax ring, or even doubling up wax rings. The problem with this, is that you end up with a waste pipe made from wax. Now this might hold up, but more than likely it's eventually going to fail, and leak.

Modify the plumbing

If you have access to the flange from below, you might be able to modify the plumbing to make the flange sit atop the floor. In most cases, however, this is not an option.

a toilet flange basically affixes your toilet to the floor/plumbing. In order for a toilet to properly form a seal with the wax ring underneath it, the flange needs to sit above the surface of the floor by around ¼ inch. That seal is what keeps your nasty toilet water from making its way between the layers of flooring and subflooring. In a worst-case scenario that water eventually makes its way into another room. Yuck. To help you visualize the difference between a toilet flange set too low and one set correctly, I’ve made a quick diagram, below.

Even for professional plumbers, it can be difficult to detect what’s really going on in your plumbing system with the naked eye. How do you know what’s going on out of sight, below ground? That’s where plumbing camera inspection comes in. In order to diagnose the true cause of your plumbing issues, you need a plumbing company who has the right knowledge and the right technology to see what’s happening below ground level.
 
 A plumbing video camera inspection can help discover those hard to identify problems that can occur out of plain sight. Here are some of the problems that a video plumbing inspection can discover:
 
 Tree Roots

A video camera inspection is an excellent way to discover if any tree roots have penetrated your drainage system. If tree roots are discovered in your system, our camera system ensures that digging will only occur in the exact location of the problem. Mess, time and cost are kept to a minimum. To prevent roots from penetrating your drainage system in the future, plastic pipes will be used, and tree roots will be treated to prevent re-growth.
 
 Damaged Pipes
 
 Cracks, deformed pipes, misaligned joints or crushed pipes are all very common issues that can be discovered during a plumbing camera inspection. The condition of your pipes is essential to the overall functioning of your drain system. A video camera inspection can quickly identify which types of damage your pipes are experiencing, and where the issues are located. Your plumber can then target the exact areas that need to be excavated and replaced.
 
 Blockages & Buildup
 
 Blockages or grease buildup in your pipes can be a serious issue. Blockages can be caused by compacted paper, grease, hair or other substances becoming trapped in your pipes. If you suspect there a blockage somewhere in your drainage system, it’s best to call in the experts.
 
 Why Should You Have a Video Camera Plumbing Inspection?
 
 Whether you are already experiencing major plumbing issues, or are looking to purchase a new home, a plumbing camera inspection can help you correct and prevent problems from becoming more serious. A complete understanding of what is happening in your underground plumbing and drainage system is necessary to properly address major issues in basements and to make drain repairs. These are some of the most costly repairs to make, so you’ll want to be 100% sure of what the problem is so it can be fixed correctly.

Tools & Materials

Locating the Clog

When faced with a clogged drain, the first thing you need to do is to figure out where the clog is. If only one sink, shower, bath, or toilet in the house is backing up, relax. Your task should be fairly simple since the clog is probably confined to the trap of that fixture. If more than one fixture is clogging up, the blockage will usually be in the main drain line. Unclogging the main drain is a little more difficult, but not impossible.

Cleaning Strainers and Stoppers

Many clogs collect around the strainer or stopper in the sink or bathtub. To unclog the drain, all you may need to do is remove the strainer and clean it. Here are a few tips:

• Stoppers need to be cleaned on a regular basis since hair tends to twist around their base. First remove the sink stopper. Some stoppers are removed by turning them with your fingers. Others require that you unscrew a pivot rod that is connected to the opener. This rod should be located under the base of the sink. If you need to use pliers to remove the stopper, make sure to pad them so you won't chip the chrome finish. Once the stopper is removed, clean it and wipe out the base of the drain opening.

Using the Plunger

One of the most trusted tools for unclogging drains, the plunger, can usually clear the blockage if it's not too far into the main drain. Follow these tips to make plunging more effective:

• Block the overflow holes, other drains in adjacent sinks, or any other openings by stuffing wet rags into the holes.
• If water is not already present in the basin, run two to three inches of water over the drain hole. The water helps to force the obstruction out of the way and lets you know when you succeed in pushing the clog out.

• Apply a thick layer of petroleum jelly to the rim of the plunger. The petroleum jelly helps to create a tighter seal, thereby producing greater suction.

• Force the plunger handle down powerfully numerous times. After plunging for a minute or two, stop to test whether water will drain from the sink. Try plunging again if the drain is still sluggish. When clear, run hot water to flush away any remaining particles from the clog.

Cleaning the Trap

If a plunger won't clear the clog, you'll need to clean the trap under the sink as follows:

1. Make sure you have a bucket in place to catch waste water.
2. Check to see if there is a clean-out plug in the trap; it will be a square or hexagonal plug in the base of the bend. If so, remove the plug and push a straightened coat hanger or bottle brush around the bends of the trap to remove debris.

1. If the trap does not have a clean-out plug, remove the trap by loosening two couplings that hold the trap in place. If you have chrome pipe fittings, you'll need to pad the water pump pliers to protect the finish. Penetrating oil may help to loosen a stubborn trap joint.

1. Hold the trap over the bucket and insert a straightened coat hanger or bottle brush into the trap. Force the hanger or bottle brush around the curves and push out debris.

1. Wash the trap with hot, soapy water.

1. Before reconnecting, check the trap for wear or corrosion. The metal or plastic material may begin to thin and start to leak. If you notice wear, replace the trap. When you reassemble the trap after cleaning, you many need to reseal the threads. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape.

Using a Sewer Snake

If the trap is clear and the drain still clogs, the blockage is further into the sink's drain pipe or the main drain. To clear these drains, you'll need a plumber's auger or, as it is more commonly called, a sewer snake. Use as follows:

1. With the trap removed, insert the snake into the sink drain line and push in until you meet the obstruction.

1. When the tip of the snake is against the clog, try to hook the clog by twisting the snake's handle clockwise.

1. When the debris is solidly hooked, twist and push the clog back and forth until you break up the clog. Flush the pipe with cold water.

1. Once the clog is gone, reassemble the sink's trap. When you reassemble the trap after cleaning, you need to reseal the threads. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape. Run water for a few minutes to make sure the clog is completely flushed and the trap is not leaking where it has been reconnected.

Clearing With Chemical Drain Cleaners

If the methods above fail, the next logical step is to use a chemical drain cleaner. Fast-acting chemical drain cleaners usually contain a high concentration of lye or sulfuric acid to burn through all sorts of tough clogs quickly and thoroughly.

When using a chemical drain opener, make sure to read and follow all of the directions and warnings on the bottle. After following the directions on the bottle, remember to run plenty of water to flush the chemicals out of your pipes.

Unclogging the Main Drain

If more than one sink, bathtub or toilet is clogged, you'll need to clean out the main drain line or the sewer.

1. To clean out the main drain line, find the clean-out plugs located on the large drain pipes. Look for these plugs on the vertical pipes in your basement or crawl space. In some houses these drains may be located in a garage or pantry closet, or there may be access to these plugs outdoors along the foundations of your house. Usually these pipes will be vertical, but occasionally a plug may be located on a horizontal pipe.

1. When you find a steel or plastic cap for the pipes with a square fitting at the top, remove the fitting with a wrench. Be sure to have a waste bucket in place when opening up the drain.

1. Use a plumber's snake to break up any clogs. Make sure to insert the auger in both directions of the pipe. You can also use a powerful stream of water from your garden hose to break up any debris.

1. Replace the steel cap of the drain pipe.

Preventing Clogged Drains

Okay, you've finally gotten that drain unclogged. You'd prefer never to experience the mess and inconvenience of a clogged drain again. Keeping your drains clear is probably easier than you think. With a few simple precautions, you can prevent your drains from clogging.

Tips for the Kitchen Sink

• Pour grease into cans and throw them in the garbage. If you empty grease into the sink, the grease collects along the sides of the pipe and then food particles stick to the pipes, eventually contributing to a clog. Also too much grease can eventually cause sewer blockages since the bacteria in sewage systems cannot readily break down grease.

• When you are grinding up food in a disposal, run plenty of cold water to flush food particles down the pipe. Using too little water can contribute to the particles collecting along the sides of the pipe.

• Don't empty coffee grounds in the sink.

• Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain once a week to melt away any fat or grease that may have collected.

Tips for the Bathroom

• Clean the pop-up stoppers in sinks frequently. Hair often collects here and causes clogs.

• Never flush heavy paper products down the drain. Excess paper can clog the toilet and/or the whole sewer system.

General Tips

• Never dump chemicals like paint or paint thinner down the drain. Avoid pouring hot wax or other substances in the drains.

• If you have your own home septic tank, have a professional inspect it every two to three years. Some regions require septic tank inspection on a regular basis. Check with your local health board about the rules in your community.

• Every six months, keep your drains running clear by using a non-caustic drain cleaner.

Brian

Today, while cleaning under the sink by chance, I discovered that an electrical wire was exposed and didn't know what to do. So, I sought the help of Red Seal Plumber, Yong Won Song. He also recognized that this was a very dangerous situation and handled it cleanly, for which I was very grateful. He kept the appointment time accurately, was very kind, and explained everything in detail, and resolved the potentially significant problem well. I am very thankful and recommend him to everyone.

Shiv Bercasio

Was able to help in an emergency. Was very professional, detailed and helpful.

Jeff Knox

While I did not use their business, they were very prompt and detailed explaining why they could not handle my particular job requirements. This saved a potentially wasted service call and showed they are trustworthy and reliable.

Answer: Hello, Mr. Jeff Knox.
Camera inspection tasks are sometimes not simple. I saw photos of the house on the real estate website and gave you some advice to help you make a better choice. I wish you the best of luck. Thank you.

Tony Kong

Very good service. Came immediately on a Saturday within half an hour and even taught me to unclog the toilet! Highly recommended.

Answer: Thank you for your comment! I hope I taught you enough for you to unclog your toilet. Perhaps you will never need a plumber again.

Sophie Ludtke

Won was so helpful. He got here really fast for an emergency. 
He was able to fix a really bad clog and stop a huge leak that soaked the entire downstairs. 
He was very informative, professional, and answered all of my questions too. 
Very polite and patient while we were panicking and explaining everything.
If you want fast and good service, call this company.

Answer: Hello, Ms. Sophie Ludtke. Thank you for your review.
I hope your house doesn't have any plumbing problems anymore.

Scott Venton

Great service. Went above and beyond. 
Took the extra time to video the whole storm drain and walk and 
talk me through the problems that he found.

Answer : Hello, Mr.Scott Venton. I hope that your neighbor will work with you to get rid of trees.
I think the tree right next to the fence is stubborn.
Digging would be meaningless if the tree is still there.
The tree will grow for the rest of its life and it will continue to plague your storm drain line.
Even if you replace the drain.. I sincerely wish you good luck. Thank you!

Won saved us this weekend! Our kitchen sink clogged. We thought it would be a simple job but it turned out to be much more serious. Won explained everything very clearly but most importantly he got the problem fixed in a very timely manner and his fees were very reasonable. Luckily his knowledge and expertise saved us what probably would have turned into a major job of opening walls etc. Thanks Won! We really appreciate your help.

Answer : Hi, Casey. Thank you for your review. I hope your house doesn't have any plumbing problems anymore.I hope there are only happy things in the future. Thank you!
