should'nt take more than 1 hr if you do all the cracking and digging. handyman will probably charge 50 to hundred bucks. licensed plumber probably 100 to 175 bucks.
To allow floor flange bolts to have a place to fit and to anchor the flange to the cement /wood decking
Most likely not, depending on the type of pipe you can find an inside flange to fit.
ask a licensed plumber
You could contact a local plumber who has had a lot of experience with jobs similar to the one you need done.but you want to make sure they have been a plumber for a long time.
The bolts that come from the drain and run to to toilet help to alaign proper drainage and seal the toilet. You do not want to do the bolts set in cement idea...
I'm a licensed plumber in Michigan and own my own business. We charge $119 for labor. This is for a replacement only. If you need the mounting flange replaced too or any repiping has to be done under the sink, this would incur extra costs.
First, in order to accomplish this task, be sure the plastic flange fits the opening in question. It this is new work and anchor bolts or anchorbolt holes are not already in place, fit the flange to the lead drain line as you want it to go and by this guide, using a cement bit, drill holes in the cement(assuming the basement floor is cement). Two holes are required. After the holes are drilled, force lead inserts into the holes. These are to screw the anchoring bolts into to hold the flange stable. Choose the correct lead inserts and the side drill bit to match. Any hardware store can match these up for you. The remount the flange, through the proper holes in the flange, the ones you used as a guide for the holes, then insert the ancholr bolts and tighten down. It Holes are already in place and no lead inserts are already in the holes, simply obtain the proper inserts, bolts and Voila! do according to the above, simple yes?
No less then $1,800 normally
Both and but normally a master plumber would fix the problem by removing the existing drain lead/copper /cast iron and install a new drain and remove the membrane to the existing slab water proof the slab with either roof cement or flashing cement then install 4 PSF sheet lead over the drain flange/clamping gravel stop collar and you will now have a leak proof job
Slip-On Flat Face Flange. It means the face of the flange, the surface the physically touches the next flange is flat as opposed to raised (SORF Flange)
Depends on whether you already purchased it and whether other parts are needed. If you have the toilet, a Kant leak, a wax seal,FLEXIBLE toilet supply, and the (nuts,bolts and washers) for screwing the toilet to the floor flange, plumber should not charge more than one hour of his rate to install it. Make sure the plumber does NOT silicone around the toilet. If there is a leak from the wax seal under the toilet and it is siliconed, the water stays under the toilet and rots the floor, if you are on a wood floor.
it is a flange that's it
