Can you put a new toilet flange over an old one?

• <div><p>A standard toilet flange should fit snugly into the outflow pipe and sit level with the subfloor. Installing a new one without first removing the old one will make it impossible to form a seal and keep the toilet bowl bolted securely in place. </p><p>However, if you’re dealing with leakage or wobbling because you’ve installed a new <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-trending-bathroom-tile.htm">type of bathroom tile</a> (making the floor taller), you may be able to avoid fully replacing the flange by opting for a toilet flange extender. Extenders typically come in kits for easy DIY installation, fit over the existing flange, and bring the drain connection higher.</p></div>

Q: Why is there no cold water upstairs?

• <div><p>The likely culprit is an air lock somewhere in your pipes. This is especially true if the warm water upstairs is accompanied by a decline in water flow. Other causes of this issue include frozen pipes, leaks, damaged supply lines, and more. There&rsquo;s a simple DIY fix to try for air locks: Turn the hot water and cold water faucets on for a minute, then turn off the cold water and then the hot water. Repeat this process two or three times. </p></div>

Q: How long does a burst pipe take to do serious water damage?

• <div><p>A burst pipe can cause serious water damage within <b>24 hours</b>. Once a leak or flood starts, mold can develop, floors and walls can become saturated, electronics can be damaged, and structural issues can occur. This process may be accelerated depending on the severity of the burst pipe. Call an emergency plumber immediately when a pipe bursts in your home.</p></div>

Q: Can copper pipes crack and burst in cold weather?

• <div><p>Yes, copper pipes can freeze, crack, and burst in cold weather. In fact, of all piping types used for plumbing, copper pipes burst most easily when frozen. This is because copper conducts energy and loses heat more quickly than other types of plumbing. Copper also won't expand when the water inside freezes. Instead, it bursts or splits to accommodate expanding frozen water.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace a toilet yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, an ambitious homeowner could decide to replace their own toilet. A person attempting to do a DIY toilet installation should keep in mind that the average toilet weighs between 100 and 120 pounds. That means that you'll need to be comfortable lifting and carrying your old toilet and replacement toilet during both phases of the project. Additionally, homeowners will need to have basic plumbing knowledge to avoid<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumbing-problems.htm"> plumbing problems</a> that could result in messy, expensive water damage in their bathrooms. Hiring a plumbing pro from the get-go can help you avoid damaging your plumbing or your new toilet. </p></div>

Not pleased at all. Pushed out install date multiple times. Seems to have done a quick low grade job. I believe they cut corners to save money by not applying anything to kill the grass before installing the sod. Install was done too quick- a day and a half for 5000 square feet. They have a nice...
