What is the cost of replacing a shingle roof on a 1300 sq ft home?
There is a lot of information missing, so I'll make a few assumptions. 1. there is no dormers 2. this is a replacement and not an over layer 3. there is 2 vents and 1 chimney 4. the roof pitch is 12/12 (45 degrees) 5. the roof has a ridge vent first the roof would use $1552..............18 1/2 squares of shingles $255.................2400 sq feet tar felt $35...................about 30 pounds of roofing nails $35..................1 roll of roll shingle or heavy felt $12..................1 bucket asphalt sealant $25..................2 penetration seals $37................. roll 20 ga. 18" flashing $24..................1 can silicone sealant(for flashing) $700.................new ridge vent and filters with hardware $150.................180 ft roof drip edge flashing $725.................unknown 3/4" roof decking replacement? up to 800 sq ft $20...................decking nails 2 1/4" staging and safety lines rentals? or provided? $3750................Materials ~ $6700.............Labor ~$2500 .............strip old roofing ~$500................disposal costs This is a low end estimate. Labor and mat'l can increase with additional dormers or penetrations height above ground(safety devices etc.) But looks like about $14-15000 just from the info given and assumed
What does the wax ring on the toilet do?
It seals the gap between the base of the toilet and the toilet mounting flange so that sewage and sewer gases don't escape into the building.
Should the closet flange be level with the floor or be 14 inches higher than the floor?
Sure. Either way. The wax ring seals the toilet to the closet flange so it doesn't really matter that much. The important part is that the toilet be mounted firmly to the floor so that it doesn't move. That would cause the wax ring to fail then the toilet would leak around the flange.
How to Install a New Toilet Flange?
Installing a new toilet flange is a fairly simple process that should take no more than 15 to 20 minutes. A properly installed toilet flange will ensure years of dependable use. If the old flange needs to be removed, this will increase the installation time. These instructions assume you are starting with a waste pipe that does not have a toilet flanged installed. If the old toilet flange is still installed on the waste pipe, begin by removing it, then following these procedures.The following items are needed to complete this procedure:New toilet flangeAdjustable wrenchScrewdriver (Phillips or straight head)Hacksaw (if modification to waste pipe is needed)Purple primer and solvent cement (if PVC flange is installed)New wax seal or waxless toilet sealPlace the new flange on the waste pipe and ensure the pipe height is proper for the flange to be affixed to the subfloor. If modifications need to be made to the waste pipe, use a hacksaw to cut the pipe to the proper height.Ensure the new flange is sitting level to the floor. The flange must sit level and flush to the floor for the toilet to properly seal to the new flange.Install the new flange on the waste pipe with the bolts positioned so they will fit into the toilet mounts. If a PVC flange is used, apply purple primer to the outside of the waste pipe and solvent cement to the inside of the flange, then press the flange firmly on the waste pipe. Be aware, once these item are attach using primer and solvent, they cannot be removed or adjusted. Be sure the flange is positioned and inserted properly on the waste pipe.Secure the new flange to the subfloor by screwing the flange directly into the floor.Apply the new wax seal to the flange or affix a new waxless toilet seal directly to the underside of the toilet.A waxless seal is commonly overlooked by consumers. Ask your retailer about a waxless seal. Waxless seals are cleaner to install and uninstall and can be reused even if the toilet is removed later.Mount the toilet back onto the new flange and secure it using a washer and nut on the flange bolts. Tighten each bolt with an adjustable wrench. Be very careful not to over tighten the bolts. If the bolts are over tightened, the porcelain toilet will crack.Your new toilet flange is installed and ready to use.

How can I fix a toilet seal that leaks?
To fix a leaking toilet seal, you will need to replace the wax ring that seals the connection between the toilet and the floor. This involves removing the toilet, cleaning the area, and installing a new wax ring before reattaching the toilet.
Can plunging a toilet cause damage to the wax ring?
Yes, plunging a toilet vigorously can potentially cause damage to the wax ring that seals the toilet to the floor, leading to leaks and other issues.
Why does the toilet leak at the base when flushed?
The toilet leaks at the base when flushed because the wax ring that seals the connection between the toilet and the floor may be damaged or worn out, allowing water to escape.
Are toilet seals made of beeswax?
No, toilet seals are not made of beeswax. They are typically made from materials such as rubber, wax, or a combination of both, designed to create a watertight seal between the toilet and the floor. Wax seals are the most common type used, as they effectively prevent leaks and odors. Beeswax may have been used historically, but modern seals predominantly utilize synthetic and rubber materials for better durability and performance.
Why water comes up from floor when plunging toilet?
The wax ring which seals the toilet to the drain is leaking. turn off water, drain tank by flushing. Disconnect water line. remove tank, unbolt toilet from floor. Remove any old wax from toilet and drain. Replace with new wax ring. Reset toilet and press firmly into place.
Fix or Replace the Toilet?
Most consider toilet repair easier than replacement. However, many things need to be considered before deciding whether or not to fix or replace it. A toilet has a base, tank, seat, lid, flush handle and water line on the outside. Inside the tank are a fill valve that controls the incoming water and a flapper valve that controls water going from the tank to the bowl when the flush handle is pressed. Most tanks are attached to the base with two bolts and washers. Toilet repair usually begins when the flapper valve leaks water from the tank to the bowl, and it causes the tank to keep refilling though no one has flushed the toilet. Many times it is just the chain that lifts the flapper valve getting caught or twisted. This is a 30 second toilet repair. Replacing the flapper valve only requires cleaning the surface it closes on and 30 seconds to replace the flapper with a new one. Replacing the inlet valve is another toilet repair that only takes about 15 minutes for a novice who can follow written instructions. An inlet valve needs replaced when obvious leaking is spotted or a simple adjustment of the float assembly does not stop the water from overfilling the tank. It is a more involved task to replace the rubber washers and bolts where the tank meets the base, but it is still a job that can be tackled by a novice who can read and follow written instructions included with the parts. The main concern of replacing most any component of a toilet is over tightening and breaking the tank or base. If a toilet looks bad or a new design is desired, it still can be replaced by a novice. If the floor around the toilet is solid with no signs of rotting due to leakage, and if the toilet flange is intact, it takes about an hour for a novice to replace the toilet. Without a toilet jack to lower a toilet onto the wax ring that seals the toilet to the toilet flange, it is important to have two other helpers. Two are needed to slowly lower the toilet with the attached wax ring onto the flange while the other watches from floor level to be certain of the alignment of wax ring to toilet flange. Go slow and do not over tighten parts and that toilet can be new or good as new in no time.
How do you prevent seal loose in water closets?
I am paraphrasing to be sure I am answering your question... I think you are asking... "How do you prevent a loose toilet seal?" answer: Most seals, for a toilet, are a problem if the floor is not level or the toilet sits on a non level surface. If the toilet moves side to side or front to back then the seal WILL fail! Additionally, if you have removed the toilet you must ALWAYS install a new seal.
What could be causing my toilet to leak at the base intermittently?
A common reason for a toilet to leak at the base intermittently is a worn out wax ring that seals the connection between the toilet and the floor. This can happen due to age, shifting of the toilet, or improper installation. It is important to replace the wax ring to prevent further leaks and water damage.
