Floor under the toilet. It look messy. But I need to do something about it.
The floor look like cement (I don't know, that is what I need to know) with tiles on it. There is little wood under. But I had to remove the pipe to replace it after and I will replace the flanger. What should I fill that gap between the future pipe/flanger and the rest of the floor with?
I want the flooring sement betweem the pipe and the floor to be watertight.
Thanks
What is the condition of the wood in that area? Is the floor rock solid or does it move when you step on it?
"What should I fill that gap between the future pipe/flanger and the rest of the floor with?" The toilet flange will mount on top of the subflooring. So, there really is no gap to fill.
"I want the flooring sement betweem the pipe and the floor to be watertight." You cannot waterproof that area. You need a rock solid floor to support the toilet. That with a wax ring keeps the water inside the pipe so other waterproofing is not used.
I have some tiles in a half bath that have sunk down with the flooring after a toilet flange ruptured. Since these tiles will be hard to match, I would like to remove them intact if possible and put them back on a new subfloor. Is there a proper way to do this or am I out of luck? (they are ceramic and 4" square, with a small 1" square laid in on the corners) Read More
12x15 breezeway enclosed between garage and house is on concrete. about 30 percent of the asbestos tiles are gone or badly cracked.
id love to just buy an outdoor carpet and just glue it on top but would the missing tiles create issues? some of them are missing in a block of 5 or 6 in a row. would it be sunken down in those spots
the doors to the garage and house are high enough that if i did want to pour leveling cement it wouldnt be too bad but the 2 screen doors and the thresholds id worry about the run over and the crappy walling that they put on the 'outsides' of the breezeway i dont know how to protect from the cement running under it. the house and garage are permastone so the leveling cement is no biggie there but this is NOT a job i really wanna do and no one will touch it because of the tiles.
other thought was 1/2 inch plywood glued down to the tiles. i do not want to use a gun to nail thru the concrete because of the dust issueRead More
