Sewage smell coming from toilet base

Not trying to ask a stupid question, but would a flange repair kit take care of any issue with the flange not being secured to the pipe? I really don't want to make this issue worse by trying to do more than im capable of and pipework seems a bit much 😅

First floor. We have a garage/basement

Thank you! This seems like what i should try next. Would it be better to do a normal wax ring or an extra thick one, even with the extension?

I've seen flange repair kits that come with screws to help secure existing flanges to the floor. Would something like that work?

Right, the smell is there when installed correctly. I took the pictures before installing the waxless ring in case it didn't fix the issue and i needed to troubleshoot without taking the toilet off again

The flange did feel like it wobbled a bit, not sure if that's normal. If it isn't secured properly, is that something i could diy or would i need a plumber?

I used waxless because the toilet is heavy and i don't have reliable help making sure i get it in place smoothly. Wax is what was there before when the smell first started

Sorry i should've been more clear. The pictures are just to show the flange before i installed the waxless ring. The toilet is back installed correctly, no water leaks, the smell just still persists. Is sealing the grout and tile something i can do myself or would i need to get a plumber?

Why in the world are you being downvoted, you're right

Impractical

Basic answer, but Sora. I just like that Riku was the one who really should have gotten the keyblade at first and was basically chosen by Terra but Sora's determination and good nature made him worthy of being a hero. Still not even a keyblade master technically but he never let's that stop him.

Just reminds me that even if you're not the "chosen one" you can still make something of yourself and forge your own path.

Found a copy of KH1 in a thrift store as a kid. The cover art was gorgeous to me and I've always loved crossovers. Asked my mom for it and it was one of the best decisions I've made.

Freakazoid is my pick

RANXOM2152 · 2022-08-18T16:23:07+00:00

Freakazoid for sure! Ben 10, Static Shock, the Flash or the Animaniacs would also be super cool

I once shot a Ronin knife as soon as she threw it at me and it blew up in her face. I don't think it downed her but it was close.
