    Older TOTO not flushing well-- require at least two flushes

    This might be a long shot but one more idea might not hurt if you can't find an obstruction in the drain or a problem with the toilet's valves. They manufacture toilets with glazed trapways because reducing the resistance in the trapway is very important for getting these toilets to work...

    Repairing lead bend closet flange.

    One thing that I'm still curious about... Provided the original brass flange is secured to the floor well but just broken around the bolt. Will the repair flanges that go over top of existing flanges be a good/easier choice? Something like the Lasco 33-3736, Suix Chef 886-MR, Mossbay 886-MRM?

It's so good I'm planning on replacing my other toilet with one but want to wait until they come up with either a round front or compact elongated...

    Repairing lead bend closet flange.

    I want to replace a toilet in an older home and am anticipating that the closet flange will need to be repaired/replaced. I'm a DIY'er with a lot of experience. I have replaced a different toilet in the home twice, the first time a few years ago replacing the brass ring around the flange and...
