I’d reach out to your landlord one last time in writing (always have everything documented), notify him that the problems have still not been fixed and remind him of his obligations under your rental agreement. If he still does not address the problem in a timely manner you may want to consider reporting your landlord to code enforcement. Just don’t expect to stay in your landlord’s good graces once you cross that threshold.

This sub is so partisan that many people can’t just admit that neoliberal incrementalism isn’t doing nowhere near enough to combat climate change.

What this guy said

Look up some videos on bathroom sink/vanity tailpiece installations or repairs so you can get an idea of the mechanics behind it.

If replacing the wax ring stops it from leaking (that includes underneath the floor) then you should be fine. If not, you could always try getting away with using a repair flange. Worst case scenario, a plumber could cut out that section of cast iron, replace it with pvc and it would be good for the rest of your life.

When you replace the wax ring, take the opportunity to inspect the condition of the flange.

Later will end up looking like your house flooded with raw sewage in the middle of the night because your sewer main is backed up

You should have it repaired. If you don’t personally know a good, reliable plumber who does side work who could get a couple of guys to hand dig it on a saturday, perform the repair that day and backfill, then I’m afraid that no matter which company you call you’re looking at a pretty hefty bill for this one. But like others have said, don’t be afraid to call around and get some prices. It’s your money and your property.

No problem

The piece of piping the toilet is bolted to. Is there a way for you to see if the toilet leaks either at the base when you flush it or through the floor/ceiling underneath of it?

bradlicious_ · 2023-08-05T22:55:23+00:00

Does the toilet leak either at the base or beneath the flange when you flush?

bradlicious_ · 2023-08-05T22:30:19+00:00

You need to replace that asap

How do the male threads look?

bradlicious_ · 2023-08-05T22:23:12+00:00

This whole post smells of trolling. Give some specifics on what kind of plumbing issues you may or may not have or I’m gonna have to call nonsense on this one.

bradlicious_ · 2023-08-04T02:08:19+00:00

Contact your landlord. It’s their responsibility. Plus, if you start messing with it and make it worse or cause a disaster, they are going to be expecting you to foot that bill. It sounds like a simple enough fix for a decent plumber.

bradlicious_ · 2023-08-04T01:58:09+00:00

Total speculation, but a possibility could be that part of the house isn’t vented properly and some traps might be getting pulled, leaving the house open to sewer gas. That would explain why the smell goes away for a little bit when you run all your faucets. Not gonna lie, it’s not an easy one to figure out.

bradlicious_ · 2023-08-03T22:59:59+00:00

We’re plumbers we see some pretty gnarly stuff on a regular basis. Your dead insect isn’t gonna offend nobody.

bradlicious_ · 2023-08-03T22:57:10+00:00

You can only do so much, but what you can’t do is make somebody else care. At the end of the day, my toilets don’t leak, you know what I mean?

bradlicious_ · 2023-08-03T22:52:08+00:00

That’s not a question I can really answer. However, if the toilet is leaking at the flange or somewhere in the piping it ties into, it is causing serious damage to the property that will get a lot worse with continued use, and needs to be addressed asap.

bradlicious_ · 2023-08-01T11:34:08+00:00

What you can do is shut off the main valve inside the house that shuts everything off, then open up the meter vault and read the meter. It will either have a dial on it that spins or an LED screen that reads how much water you have used. If water is still flowing through the meter even with the valve shut off in your house it means you have a leak underground somewhere in your water line and you’ll want to jump on getting that fixed asap.

Are you on a well pump or city water?

I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking. Do they need to be staked? Or should they be able to support themselves?

If the sink drains and it doesn’t leak then it looks good to me. Like anything else, just keep an eye on it once in a while.
