After getting some sound advice on what I should do concerning my first toilet problem in my basement I'd like to get some opinions on a situation with the biggest toilet problem in the main bathroom.
My toilet on the first floor of my house was leaking water and it was discovered that the flange was busted thus the seal was not very good and I had some minimal water leakage but it had to be fixed.
After the toilet was taken off it was discovered the flange was connected all in one piece to the black PVC sewage pipe that leads under my bathroom to the main sewage line in the house.
My question is this. Does anyone know if this one piece flange/pipe piece that is glued into the main black PVC come in this form or is it several pieces glued together. Whatever it is how can it be repaired? My initial thought was that this flange/pipe piece needs replaced and it won't just pull out of the black PVC sewage line it seems to me that it will have to be cut out.
If that is the case how do I repair it? Any guidance on what I need to do and what parts I will need to fix it? Or do I drop back 10 yds and punt and call a registered plumber to help me because this is no job for a novice like myself? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
