A year or so ago, I needed to replace our downstairs toilet. It had a cast iron flange that was leaking badly. A plumbing friend of mine gave me advice on what to do. He told me to take the old flange out; quite a chore, and then replace the flange with a pvc one that twisted in to the cast iron pipe, sorry don't know what they are called. It was quite a job getting the flange in the pipe, and was worried about the cast iron cracking, but it went fine--until today. The cast iron broke a big chunk out and leaks in to the crawl space when flushing. Luckily we have another toilet! I am guessing that the cast iron needs to be replaced with plastic and some kind of connection between the iron and plastic, but not sure where to go from here. Thanks for any help on this.
