    Annual Drain clog

    The drain connecting kitchen and washer is getting clogged every year. When it gets clogged, there is black muddy stinky stuff coming up through the laundry sink. Any suggestion what can be a long term solution to this other than an annual cleaning?

    Flange anchor bolt problem

    Thanks much ! However, I think I was not clear. I am not planning to lift the toilet. Just take the nut off, put new washer and put the nut back. It is a new Kohler toilet .

    Flange anchor bolt problem

    I had a handyman do bathroom remodel including new floor tile and new toilet. The toilet installed was defective ( not his fault) so Kohler has sent a new toilet . Now, when I removed the old toilet, I found that one flange bolt was spinning. On inspection, it looks like he made a bad tile cut...
